It was a beaut day for a Sunday afternoon excursion along the Brisbane River, and the crowds were out in force. This proved a bit hairy for those running with dogs past the Cultural Centre and Southbank Parklands, but we didn't knock too many toddlers off their bikes....
Some great Japanese cuisine awaited us back at the hares' place - plus some Japanese beer, and a Tanabata wishing tree.
Some of the more serious wishes:
"I wish to be normal" (Le W*nk)
"Exotic nights with beautiful women"
"Hope it's only a rash"
"That my cat stops attacking me"
Several wishes were about travel to Japan (a number of these should be fulfilled over the next year) and some shallow, trivial people wished for success at school and business (and I'm sure these wishes will be fulfilled too - all together - aaahhh!)
Our hares, Where's the beef? and In your dreams (he'd risen from a sickbed to set the run):
Other hopeful wishers included...
Loan Ranger, Hugandkiss, Make an Offer
Piston Broke:
Culture:
Lion of the Year, Banger:
Plus bunches of other reprobates
By the way, what was so interesting next door?
Many thanks to our hares for a memorable run, their hospitality, the beer, the retelling of the Tanabata legend, and the kanji lesson. This old blogger has retained this much:
Next week Escargot and Culture are setting up the guillotine at Mt. Nebo for our annual Bastille Day run. Tricolour cockades, strings of onions, berets and outrageous accents are the order of the day.
Next run details
When: Sunday 14th July, 4 pm
Where: Manorina Picnic Area, Mt Nebo. It's 3.6 km from the Mt Nebo post office on the road to Mt Glorious - or 5 km from the PEI Road/Mt Glorious Road junction on the road to Mt Nebo. Clear as mud? This is what to look our for:
Hares: Escargot and Culture
On, on!
