Day 318 - Back to Barwon Heads

Just returned from a lovely, lovely long weekend at Barwon Heads. The first picture shows the restaurant on the pier where we had lunch almost as soon as we arrived. It's walking distance from our cabin. The second picture shows work on the new bridge that nobody wanted. Last time we were here - some time in July - there was significant protest about this development, and we were sad to see it had made no difference. What a shame the small, unobtrusive bridge will be replaced by a large, modern one (as well as an adjacent footbridge).

Later in the day, Mr 16 and his aunt played Bocce.

The picture below shows how close to the sea we were staying.

It really is heaven on earth here. I hope it always stays this way.

Day 303 - Jujyfruits

Do you remember the episode in Seinfeld where Elaine finds out that her boyfriend is in hospital after being hit by a car and she stops to buy Jujyfruit before going to visit him.

Well, when I saw this packet, I had to have it. We don't have Jujyfruit in Australia. I have to say, they're not as good as they look when Elaine eats them. Just like, when I was young, I used to think it would be great to have someone throw a cream pie in your face. Again, not something we did in Australia. Sigh.

Meanwhile, we're chilling in anticipation of a long weekend because of the Melbourne Cup. I never watch the race, but I love the holiday.

Day 159 - Long weekend breakfast

The exquisite pleasure of an extra day in the weekend, a slow morning, and grilled cheese on toast for breakfast instead of cereal. The simple pleasures of life.
