weekend adventures ...

Let's start with the foot, it's much better. Thanks to everyone for their concern. I had 2 papilomas (common name- warts, but that just sounds yuk) in my heel. The doctor froze them which was bloody painful I must say, but after that most of the pain went & I can walk again!

Now, the weekend... aah yes. So the boy, myself & one of our mates headed off toward phillip island on saturday for some moto gp action. We were going to stay at a little shack hidden amongst the teatrees by the coast. But when we arrived we learned that the place had been double booked. So we freaked out a little bit, thinking that we'd have to go back to melbourne & drive back down again on sunday. We ummed & aahhed & discussed our options, phonecalls were made to try & secure us a spot for the night. One of those phonecalls was to a mate of the boy's who has a farm up in the hills nearby. Our luck was back!
They happilly took us in for the night & gave us a tour of the farm that arvo.
We met the two crazy, stick obsessed kelpies Karma & Dolly...
They were quite happy to have a swim in the dam every now & then...
We walked to the top of a hill. We could see for miles, so beautiful...
We stayed up there & watched the sun set...
We met their cows...
Then we walked back down the hill...
The day was finished with alot of chatting, drinking & eating & a bit of crochet action too.
Then sunday morn we rose with heavy heads & took to phillip island to see the bikes. It was a beautiful day for it & an exciting race.
