18th Nov Christmas carol .. Yeppoon


Like a woman possessed, Lin's up and getting ready to go to market again. Sod the shower, it was all I could do to get dressed and get a coffee down me neck. Believe me, it wernt long before we were in the car and on our way to Emu park, I must admit, I'm a bit curious to see what the Ozzie's are gonna come up with for a Christmas market. Thirty odd k later we arrive and much to my surprise it seems a decent size for a market out here. Now when someone says CHRISTMAS market, an image comes to mind of shiny baubles, tinsel and blow up old geezers with white beards, not out here, try camel rides, insect eating plants and of course, home made craft. It feels as christmas'sy as emptying the cat litter tray. I must admit, the've got some interesting stuff here, so its worth a look (had to happen some time). bloody typical ain't it, half way round and I ain't so much limping, more like hobbling. Can't hack it any more so I'm off back to the car, while with the promise of bringing back coffee.

Lin rolls up her sleeve's and gets stuck in. After forty five minutes the cars getting rather warm and the hint of squid is making its presents known, when Lin comes up to the side of the car with paper trays of mini Dutch pancakes with ice cream and apple....stuff. Ice cream was nice. Lin couldn't find anywhere for coffee, which is not surprising cos of all the markets we've been down, I've only seen one coffee stall, one stall that did hamburgers and not even a sniff of anyone selling tools, battery's, mobile phone accessory's or even fuzzy slippers. These Ozzie's have really got a lot to learn.

Right, we're on our way home to put on dinner and all of a sudden, "stop, stop, stop, Garage sale, got to have a look", how does she spot these things?. Its gonna be fun trying to get all these things back on the bike when it comes time to pack up.
Back at the house, Sunday takes the more familuar route.... Roast Lamb, Yorkshire, three veg and LOADS of roasties. The rest of the day just drifts by trying to digest the meal of the week....

The sun goes down at the front of the house...


And Sophie has the sunday evening... I've eaten too much feelin....(know that one oh so well...).
