Wednesday morning we said goodbye to Judy & Derrick, then it was off to Elliott Heads to play bowls. Bazza & I could not believe our luck or bad luck when we saw who we had to play, it was a couple that come over from NZ every year. We were beaten by them last year, once again we lost to them but were lucky enough to win the Jackpot draw and we came home with $67.25 each.
Carlene & Rex left us on Friday to head to Harvey Bay, had hoped for a few alcohol free days but received an invite to a BBQ up with some of the permanent so that was the end of no alcohol. Saturday there was a couple here in the park that set up to entertain us, unfortunately the guy had had the flu and his vocals were a bit strained. Enjoyed the musical instruments that he played, flute, clarinet, trumpet and electric guitar with his wife on the keyboard.
Today being Fathers Day I managed to get myself out of bed earlier and treat Bazza to eggs and bacon for breakfast. Later we went into a market in Bundaburg to get some fresh vegetables and strawberries, the strawberries here are lush very ripe and sweet.
This afternoon we thought we would go for a little bike ride nothing too strenuous, but ended up riding all the way to Burnett Heads which took us an hour and half return, did have trouble getting off the bike when we got back. Lucky for Bazz that he has cable ties sticking out of his helmet, as the Magpie's must like or dislike his bright bike helmet as they swooped down attacking him. I could hear their beaks snapping as they were swooping on him, my bike helmet is black and they did not take any notice of me.
Helping with breakfast in my apron !
Well fed !
Bazza does seem to have a fatal attraction for magpies!
