It had been raining for the last couple of days, but our gallant hares still managed to mark a couple of great trails during the clear spells. Congratulations to Prattle for flour-marking her first-ever runners' route! (It took the runners through some sneaky little twists and turns and then along the railway line to Grovely before they headed home along the creek line.) And congratulations to Lax for a well-marked and interesting walkers' route - which surprised them by taking them past the impressive headquarters of the Brisbane Brass Music Association! The hares' kitchen is apparently a non-functioning renovator's nightmare at the moment, but they managed to produce a meal to their usual standard....Many thanks, guys!
A quiet and respectful chalk-talk:
Walkers:
We also held a naming ceremony for a couple who have been regular in their attendance for quite a number of weeks. Henceforth they are to be know as (drumroll, please) Saucy Sous and Dumbbell! They were welcomed with our usual quaint ritual:
And we look forward to their first run, coming up shortly.
Also coming up shortly (on Sunday 16th May) is the Samford Edible Garden Trail Open Day, which features Floater and Scratchit's impressive cornucopia (look it up) garden amongst a wide diversity of others. You'll need tickets ($10 for first adult, $5 for subsequent ones) and you can get those here. Tours of Floater and Scratchit's garden are scheduled for 10.30 am and 2 pm.
There's been an exchange this week between Samford Hash and Where's the Beef? in Tokyo. We quote:
"SH email: The wine drinkers were in a panic on Sunday when they realised there was no wine esky. However, Le W*nk turned up with it, which settled a few withdrawal symptoms.
WTB?: Knowing Le W, didn’t he show up with an empty wine esky? And probably blamed George!
SH: Poor old George. He has a lot to put up with.
WTB?: We miss that dog. And George, too. Please say On on! to everyone for us. Cheers, WTB? and IYD. PS We're back in a State of Emergency here in Tokyo. Luckily our next several Sumo H3 Runs are in Kanagawa Prefecture so we should be good to go."
We wish Where's the Beef? and In Your Dreams all the best in their locked-down (sort of) state. It's good to hear from them.
And we're holding our annual (except for last year!) celebration of all things maternal next week!
Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 9th May, 4 pm (Mothers' Day run)
Where: Anzac Park, Toowong. Enter via Dean St and park where you can (it's a one-way circuit, for those who haven't been there before.) We'll meet near the playground area. A map!
Hares: Superhacker and Co.
On, on!
