The odd shower or two this last weekend put a dampener on Hash activities, and given the state of the intended meeting place (as shown in this video) we decided - for one of the very few occasions in our history - to cancel our Sunday run and walk. The following are some contributions illustrating the sorts of fun that hashers got up to instead.
Shockjock: "On Sunday I helped a mate rearrange his furniture." Dialogue: "D'you reckon it'll fit up the driveway?" "Well, it got down the driveway." "Oh, yeah, good point."
Floater: "A busy Sunday afternoon at Arana Hills, checking out my new waterfall and creek. Squabbling in the chook pen. It's all fun and games until someone gets pecked in the eye. She got to sleep in a warm dry human house and watch TV...with her good eye. Pink socks in wet shoes = pink feet."
Mile High and Hugandkiss: "And so the rain continues to fall. We have several waterfalls on our land however the gully is the most spectacular. Instead of hashing we are busy managing water inside and outside our house."
Strine and Charcoal: "On Friday we went and bought a Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner to try to vacuum up the water that is seeping from under the boulders, behind the cellar wall. We have spent as many sessions as we could vacuuming up the water, tipping it into buckets to walk along the wall & tip it out onto the already water logged grass. We were also cut off for a day by the water flowing swiftly over the bridge at the bottom of the Buranda Rd hill, something we haven’t seen in over 30 years here."
Elsewhere, Mitchelton tried to imitate Venice outside Le W*nk and Lax's place:
But overdid the Venice thing indoors:
Here are a couple of views from near Upstanding and Idle Vice's place at Wilston. No need to drive anywhere to go paddle boarding:
And a view of the area where we met recently for Eweshggr and Flaps Down's run/walk:
Payback and Cash Converta's dam was a bit more than 100% full (it is still under there somewhere, they think):
Here is Cedar Creek on Sunday:
Haughty and Culture's private waterfall:
Culture exercising on Sunday afternoon - doing stretches at the furthest point she and Haughty could go in one direction along Cedar Creek Road, then doing squats at the furthest point they could go in the other direction (about 150 metres up the road):
Meanwhile Where's the Beef? reports from Japan ""We’re still on a “quasi” state of emergency here in Tokyo so no regular hashes. This is from a Sunday afternoon run with a beer stop along the Tama River."
And in the Dubai airport, Superhacker relaxed in the Hash socks we gave her:
Budgie and Miss Behavin' were going to be taking us on a Bald Hills excursion this coming Sunday. However the area is still so devastated that this has had to be postponed. Instead we'll simply enjoy another Brazilian (hareless) run/walk from our home ground of John Scott Park. There's the odd shower or two predicted for this coming weekend, but after what we've been through we won't even notice them. Remember that we are still doing the BYO food and drink thing for the moment.
Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 6th March, 5 pm
Where: John Scott Park, Samford Village (the planned Bald Hills run/walk has had to be postponed).
Hares: A Brazilian (hareless) run/walk - M. Promptu will set the trail. BYO drinks and eats. Perhaps bring a chair as well.
Keep safe - and On, on!
