Cold sausages and warm champagne

Last Sunday we met at quaint Dalkeith Park. Originally the site housed Dalkeith Private Hospital from 1927 to 1990. Up until recently, the site contained a 42 metre deep shaft used for drilling the new airport tunnel.

For something different, we had two live hares - Payback and Le W*nk. They took off like startled chooks as Upstanding contemplated what horrors he would inflict upon them if they were caught.

Back at the park, many hands attempted to ingite the barbecue - to no avail. Some suggested that this would never have happened in the Moreton Bay Region. As a result, we had cold sausages and coleslaw which ended up suprisingly delicious.

Meanwhile, one of our wine connoisseurs complained that the champagne was not cold enough and should have been put on ice - we will mention no names.

Here are some pictures of the sights and some shots in the park:

Le W*nk and Payback stopped off at the local Catholic church to say a few Hail Mary's


Lovely - cold sausages

Not happy Jan - my champagne isn't cold enough

I'm so happy - the V-Dub is getting a new engine
