Yep, I better bat slowly from 11am til 2pm and then make my way there, the rest of the group is booked in for dinner at 6pm.......yes, I'm nervous!

It's weird though, I can sit at home and down 15-18 beers and feel ok, I go to the pub and down 8-9 pints and I feel a bit funky and I glow!

I've FINALLY booked the 4 of us (other half, eldest daughter & her hubby) in to Nautilus for dinner on Tuesday night,
have pre-ordered a Coral Trout,
been wanting to do this for a loooooong time.
Hope I'm not let down...........


Let down,
sat down at 6pm, served the Coral Trout at 9pm,
too late to be eating,
very expensive too,
Wrasse & Roe on the main drag is & was faaaaaaaaaaaar better,
not many roadworks left to contend with now,
wish I was still up there in the building tropical humidity, far away from the farce that the SANFL has become,
maybe I'll move there one day.................

If you're missing 1993, go to the Barmera Hotel on a Saturday arvo, very old school (except the beer prices).

Infact, the whole town seems to be stuck there, NTTAWWT.

Went to the pub around 2ish and left around 9:30pm, noticed to footy oval lights on during the walk back but nothing going on, thought it was a bit strange.

Loved Lake Bonney though, I will be returning and I will get a canoe or kayak.

Cheers mate, we just bought a campervan that we're doing up for more getaways, we've installed a fridge, freezer, cooker, microwave and all run on solar, we've built a workbench in it too.

Gotta make an annex next and we're set.
