Easter eggxercise

Because of aging grey matter, this old blogger can only remember one of Leave Pass's Easter jokes:

Q: What do you get if you pour boiling water down a rabbit hole?
A: A hot, cross bunny....

But he had lots of other good ones!

There were not that many of us to enjoy them. Lots of Samford Hashers were away for Easter, so the number of participants on this year's Easter run/walk were about the same as the number in the current Queensland opposition.

Those who missed missed out on a very pleasant stroll through bushland and burbs, and a scrumptious roast dinner - brilliant pork and crackling, spuds with garlic, carrots and sesame, and roast beetroot - what a feast! Many thanks to our hares - who also laid on a traditional Easter egg hunt before the full moon rose over the water (as arranged)...well done! (Topless made another attempt at dognapping...this must stop!)

Back to basics next week.

Next run details
When: Sunday 15th April, 4 pm (golly, the year is getting away from us)
Where: John Scott Park, Samford Village
Hares: Live Hare (TBA); Pot Luck will supply the dinner - i.e. please bring something to share....

On, on!

There was some disagreement

about how cold the water in Cedar Creek was this Sunday. Payback asked: if it was so warm, then what were the penguins doing?


The hares had set a shortish run/walk to allow time for a dip, and those who braved the water were considerably refreshed. Among the bravest were a couple of our visitors, who made one helluva splash leaping in. Good to see you again, Jammies, and your 3 Thirsty companions!

Early arrivals at the on, on made straight for the beer...


and wine...


And Haughty demonstrated how not to cook snags:


Banger, the sausage expert, missed a run a couple of weeks ago - and here's the reason. He'd been in a fight with a wasp, and the wasp won. Better luck with your other fights, mate....


Here are a few of Charcoal's extracts of letters from British council house tenants - as heard at the on, on:
Their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other day that blew them off.

My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?

The next door neighbour has got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore.

The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man on top of me every night.

It's the dog's mess that I find hard to swallow.

Next week it's our traditional Easter Egg run, once more brought to you by Charcoal and Strine.

Next run details
When: Sunday 8th April, 4 pm
Where: Corner Buranda Road and Clear Mountain Road, Clear Mountain
Hares: Charcoal and Strine

On, on!
