trickiness, trivia and interstate travel...

Its been a while!

What have I been doing? Not going to the gym enough that is for sure!
On Anzac day I spent the day at Topsy and Mouse's watching my friends children fling themselves off garden furniture and get their clothes all sodden. It was a fun day even though a bbq in the rain is trickier!
Then we went to the lovely (cough) Gladstone park Hotel and won their trivia for the second week running with our fantastic team "Hey Minger!". We won only $60 this time as there were no tacky music spot questions for my boy to show off the knowledge he gained working in a bar in Cornwall.

After spending Thursday recovering from consuming our winnings, I flew down to melbourne on Friday to join the lovely DV! YAY! I flew into Avalon airport which was hilarious. Its basically a cafeteria masquerading as an airport. I then bussed into central melbourne and met up with DV and her amusing mates and we went to the sherlock homes for a bevvy or several. I loved the Sherlock Holmes! When it said english style pub guess what! It really was! That never happens. The feel was right, and you could tell when looking at the interior of the bar that the place had actually been built by an English publican. All the stupid but essential quirky features were there. Exposed wiring, display cases where the public can't view them, and pipes wrapped up in duct tape. They even ran out of ice! (my boy would have been happy). To top it all off there was even a few random drunken englishmen loitering at the bar. It felt like home!

After a lovely morning of late breaky and meandering with DV around the shops, I flew home on Saturday arvo and headed straight to Hrothgars for tea. YUM! Hooray for dinner and chatting!
I topped off my english inspired weekend by cooking a roast on Sunday. This made my boy very happy and appreciative. Note to self - must do this more often!

Not a lot has happened since then as I got sick sometime between sunday and monday. Yukko. Developed icky migraine which is only just buggering off (wed arvo). hmm. The only entertaining thing about this migraine is the odd dreams I have been having where people throw things at my head. And that isn't very entertaining.
Stay tuned... things can only get more interesting from here! Not to mention that DV gave me a meme on the letter "J" which will be forthcoming when I can think of some stuff.
