Bits and pieces. Events that did not come under any of the other heading but too important to leave out.
First off, the band that Darren belongs to, playing a gig for the local radio station. A typical Aussie setting, playing music, under the gum trees, in the front yard of the community radio station. They sounded great.
Custard squares or vanilla slices, the name depends on the place. These were from a local bakery and were particularly delicious. We ate them with our morning coffee.
On the subject of delicious cakes. Jay made these cupcakes and decorated them with shapes she made from melted chocolate. Clever girl. Also delicious.
We spent many an evening at Darrens watching test cricket, India v Australia, and games in the lead up to the semi finals of the Big Bash. Adelaide Strikers were the top team until they lost their semi final game. Oh well, that is how it goes, I suppose.
We visited many of our friends while in Adelaide. It was so lovely to catch up on all their news. Such a special time.
Joan and I, posing for our photogrqpher.
Fish and chips at Victor Harbour. They tasted so much better when wrapped in paper. Smiles all round.
Moet, the dog. Such a cutie. A real favourite.
We went to Alex and Peter's house for a McLeod/van Dam reunion. A lovely get together, with plenty of reminiscing about past events. Peter cooked a fantastic barbeque, and we all brought a variety of delicious salads. Sadly Stan passed away eighteen months ago. We all missed him, but he was definitely with us in spirit.
Walter and Moira looking happy and relaxed.
Donna, Scott, Alex, Darren, Patrick and Peter, getting into a party mood.
Lunch with Donna and Andreena in Victoria Square. Lovely and cool.
Another watch? Yes. Third time lucky. The band on the dark grey watch broke, so now I have a white watch, which, I must admit, looks better than the dark grey watch. I hope all goes well with this watch as I am no longer in Adelaide.
And on that note it is time to say goodbye, and head off back to the northern hemisphere. Until next year.
