A wet one

Predictions that this would be a wet summer finally seemed to be coming true this Sunday. Our hares must have had a hard time of it setting the run between showers, and a downpour halfway through the run/walk washed out most of the chalk arrows. We made it home using occasional faint traces of chalk and were rewarded with the sort of feast that we have come to expect from Redbreast. Many thanks, hares!

It was great to welcome some half-dozen visitors, who swelled the ranks of both runners and walkers. We also welcomed Le Wank back for the first time in many moons - and found that he was still able to run and talk (volubly) at the same time.

Jamesbondage was awarded a down, down in appreciation of his jokes at the on, on. A sample:

Q. What do you get if you cross two elephants with a fish?
A. Swimming trunks....

Ah, the nostalgia - elephant jokes! He brought back to mind some of the classics:

Q. How do you get down off an elephant?
A> You don't get down off an elephant; you get down off a duck!

or

Q. How do you fit four elephants into a Mini? (This reveals the vintage, doesn't it?)
A. Simple - two in the front and two in the back....

Don't get me started!

This week also saw the inaugural Hash Mash event, in which some lucky Hash brewers met at Shockjock's to learn how to brew prizewinning beer from scratch. We're expecting a big payoff at this year's Samford Show....

And don't forget our 21st Birthday Run, coming up on the auspicious date of 12-2-12.

Next run details
When: Sunday 22nd January, 5 pm
Where: Maiala picnic grounds, Mt Glorious. Here's a map.

On, on!
