'morning chickadees.....we have returned from our L*O*N*G roadtrip to mannum in south australia.....where we met up with a group of south australian friends......
.......boarded this houseboat on the murray river.....
......and so began three days of bonding,drinking,eating,playing,sleeping,drinking,eating,gathering,fluffing,drinking,eating............
.......there was plenty of this...
....and plenty of this.....
.....which, when put together, leads to lots of male bonding standing around.....
....we had a variety of skippers...
....we enjoyed the onboard live entertainment..............
......we had some early morning visitors.......
....we played some card/spoon games.....
....some of us, who shall remain nameless, played some masochistic games.....something like how much pain can i endure by pegging pegs to my face.....or i think that is what it was called....i'm sure i could think of some more appropriate words to use......
....at night we sat around our very own campfire, eating of course and perhaps enjoying the odd port or two..
....some one of us did some fishing....and some canoing.....
....it seemed that the men spent a lot of time looking for suitable mooring objects......
......i will miss this view for a L*O*N*G time.....
...i will also miss the people until we meet up again....where to next?...perhaps the dandenongs....in S*U*M*M*E*R........
i left the barossa valley on a high note.....
....we travelled to mallala and stayed two more nights with our friends and got to catch up with some more of their family members who we haven't seen for too many years.....we then spent three days zig-zagging our way home......we were near cobar, narromine, warren, coonamble, quambone....and couldn't help wondering if i actually went past the front gates of some fellow bloggers.......
....before i sign off, i really must thank a couple of people for the wonderful trip.....firstly, barney, for turning 50.....
....hope you enjoyed the surprise factor of us turning up....we sure did!!!
.....lastly, but by no means least....i must thank sonia for all the organising and managing to keep it all a H*U*G*E birthday surprise for barney.......
......now it's back to the mundane day to day domestic stuff.....and planning my next getaway.....to launceston in tasmania to visit my sister and family.....next month....mr lzilulu says it will be far too cold for him to visit tasmania so guess that means that i will just HAVE to go alone...... ;>))
'til next time, look after yourselves and be kind to each other...
