Saturday 17th
It was a gloomy day, so instead of flying I had organised to go to Sues house in the morning when Bhavni came back from her night shift. We went there for morning tea and showed off out photographs of the trek on Bhavni’s Asus, as well as helping out with her computer. After getting back home, Bhavni slept whilst I caught up with things.
Sunday 18th
I went flying after dropping Bhavni to work. It was quite a windy day and not many other people turned up. I grabbed a Mutual flight with David Hurst and spend a good couple of hours on the ridge and generally exploring the streets until we were called down as someone else wanted the glider.
Saturday 24th
We had decided to invite some of our neighbours over for after dinner deserts; Terry, Peter and Joy . Bhavni and I spend some of the day making deserts as well as some obligatory shopping. We just had some time for our dinner (and some last minute sorting of photos) before Peter arrived. We all had a nice chat and while eating some desert (profiter rolls, cake and pie) we showed some of the photos from the walk. They neighbours left after 10pm and a nice night.
Sunday 25th
With our neighbours over for deserts, we were reminded – by Terry mentioning it – that there was a Christmas parade in town, so we decided to head into town to see it. We went out quite early, walking to the museum where we went to the photography exhibit, though it was similar to the other exhibition that we went to see. From there we walked into the city, arriving close to midday (stopping on the way to enjoy the day in Albert Park). Arriving at Queen Street, the crowds had already started to gather and there were plenty of people all along the road. Bhavni and I walked down a little and chose a spot, putting down a blanket on the kerb (which we had just bought earlier coincidentally on the way in), and waited. It was a beautiful day and luckily we had put on sun tan lotion or we would have got burnt. I just popped down the road into the new world there and got some juice and food. We were in quite a good place as we got some entertainment before the parade with a Scottish style band playing bagpipes. The actual parade started shortly after 2pm and we were treated to lots of floats (and some blatant advertising). It was really cool though. After we chilled at the waterfront waiting for the crowds to disperse and we also enjoyed some ice cream. We got the train back home and had a light meal as well as leftover deserts.
Wednesday 28th
In the evening we went to Shelinas house for dinner. I had gotten home and quickly whipped up some cream for chocolate mouse just before Bhavni came home, so we got there just around 7pm. Bhavni helped out in the kitchen while I lazed around (making sweet dhebra) – There was a plethora of children there. We ate then spent a while relaxing – and having a masalla chai, before going home and sorting out the room before going to the airport to pick up out guest.
