Picnicing

Whoop Whoop to having picnics in the sun. Which is exactly what me and Sarah did today. We made up sammwiches and packed up some other tasties and took a long, if not slightly detoured walk down Walker Street to Queen's Park. We totally missed the Brass band though which wasn't the plan.

Suppose that's what happens when you can't be bothered getting out of bed. By the time we mucked about around the house, got brekkie etc it was about midday. Yeah yeah mad dogs and Englishmen and all that nonsense. But don't stress peoples we wore sunscreen. Prefer to be called mad dogs thanks very much.

Got down there and found a shaded spot underneath a tree, which was lovely apart from the breeze. We munched our way through some cheese sammwiches and some chicken ones. Yay! I make a mean sammwich and you know it. Then we decided to start wandering around the park, which is massive! We walked up the hill to where the mini steam train runs....yes we did go on it, like the big kids we are. It only cost $1. And we drove around on it like it was the most thrilling ride ever, photos will prove as such. Also incidentally got videod by some random dude who was watching his kid on it. We were making enough noise anyway. It was a good giggle, with our knees practically hitting our noses.

So after releasing the inner kid in both of us, we found a nice spot over looking the water in the sun so we could eat our strawberries and cream. And oh man did they hit the spot. Mucked about tkaing pictures of us on the cannons and then we headed up to the swing park. Yup you guessed it, we went on everything, pictures again prove as such. We rocked people's socks today and there is no question.

We finally decided it was time to be a little bit more mature again and started the trek back up Walker Street. Most def easier walking up and down Kent street. More direct, but not for what we were wanting to do today.

Collapsed on bed and continued chatting, don't think either of us have taken a breath today. Poor Sarah will need a holiday from her holiday, even just to recover her air. We played a puzzle game on the DS, I may have to buy that for myself. Very addictive nonsense.

Sarah met Lyn, which was quite cool. Dinner and just before I sat down I got to speak to Shayne, who asked if I was here with the bf...poor guy is a bit behind on the goss. That was a tad awkward, but nevermind. Sarah managed to eat the equivalent of one whole chicken leg. She hates food on the bone, but she gave it damn good try. I was impressed, she also seemed to like the vegies. But Bill is a good cook.

So anway, now I/we must depart so we can actually upload our silly photos. They will be on bebo and Facebook so go there.

Vicky and her sidekick Sarah.
