Ok – so we go to Black River Beach – full of amazing shells and driftwood and check out my souvenir!!
Seriously?? Do you know how useful this size polypipe is and how expensive?? It was mostly buried in the sand, so I rescued it! (Not to mention saved the ocean from more human rubbish!!)
Jeff had only a small amount of that long-suffering husband look on his face and only expressed a few (justifiable) doubts about fitting it into the car (Love my husband)
The look on the rest of the families faces was quite entertaining as I dragged it up to the picnic area that we had set up.
Mother: “Whats that?”
Me: “Mine!!”
Luckily Mum and Dad had brought along their car, so we kicked out Rosemary and Emma of our car and into theirs for the drive home!
Its going to be really useful in the garden – stay tuned! 🙂
On a MUCH sadder and less weird note… I lost all my photos of Black River Beach today that I had planned to post here. I was mucking about trying to remember the buttons for the self timer to get a whole family photo and cleverly reformatted the memory card!!!!  I am totally miffed at myself, and went through some agony trying to download a card recovery program or two that were not playing the game. So before a full-blown tanty ensued, I have given up, told you about my polypipe (Thank-you to Rosemary for those photos) and tried to move on. 🙂
Anyway – the important thing was I didn’t kill the family photos so here we all are on the beach together having a simply splendid day!
Hope yours was just as fabulous!
Cheers!
Lovely family photo!
Thanks! I was pleased it turned out and pleased my camera didn’t tumble down the sandy slope on which it was balanced!
Always an entertaining read before bedtime!!! Never seen someone so happy about a bit of black pipe!! You are so easily pleased!! I’m much more high maintenance!!! ?????
haha – yeah! I was totally excited! 😀
I haven’t checked in on your blog for a few days so I was just now catching up. Ruby looked just beautiful dressed up for her birthday celebration. I also picked up random things and take them home so I am right with ya there!
Hello! I also thought Ruby looked amazing! We saw her yesterday and she is still totally chipper!! lol
Glad its not just me that finds useful stuff to drag home! 🙂
You all look like you’ve come from the four corners by your level of winter dress. Everything from coats, hats and scarves to shorts and such. What temp was it there? I’m guessing the kids REALLY wanted to swim/splash about and it was chillier than they were pretending! All in all it looks as if you’ve had a lovely day (with booty to boot!) 🙂
lol – yeah, in the sun out of the wind, quite nice – 10-15C. But when the sun went behind the clouds and wind started it was chillier. Mostly I just like wearing my beanie, some others not as aclimatised to Tassie weather. I thought it was mild! 🙂 Thank-you, yes… it was a super lovely day out!
