Blowing hot and cold

Toward the end of the trail this Sunday the cool change that the BOM had been predicting moved in, and conditions changed almost instantaneously.  Before that it had been our hottest excursion of the year.  It was windy too...and the wind was scorching...and the scorching wind was always against us...and there was a hill....And while we're on the subject, why don't supermarket trolleys ever steer straight?  And why is the print in the new phone books so small?  And why is the Oz rugby team doing so badly?  And why do we have such a baa-aad gumment?  And what's become of that crispy bacon we had before the war?

Thanks to our hares for taking us through yet more new territory in the heart of Samford - and for some yummy Hash Nosh!

The Samford Hash Seaside Camp on Bribie Island is coming up rapidly on November 9th - 11th.  If you're planning to come, and haven't yet confirmed with Payback, please do so ASAP.

And here's another really important date claimer:  Hash Christmas this year will be on Friday 14th December at Le W*nk's place in Sandgate.  The theme is "On the beach".  If you remember the Nevil Shute novel and the film, then you'll know that the menu is likely to include fission chips....

Finally - we'll be moving to a 5 pm start time from the 28th October.  This will be our Halloween run, hosted by Jamesbondage and Redbreast.  Start dusting off those witch's hats and smearing fake blood on those ghostly sheets!

Next run details
When: Sunday 14th October, 4 pm
Where: 30 Crag Road, Taringa
Hares: Superhacker and Hopalong

On, on!

Vielen dank!

As usual, Topless laid on a wonderful German banquet to follow a waterside wander from Woody Point. It was a lovely afternoon, and the sunset across the water was really memorable.

The walkers were in position to witness a memorable marriage proposal as well...on a large sign held up for a young lady as she came to earth beneath a parachute. "Aimee - marry me!" it read. Her innamorato was there on one knee with the ring as she landed. How could she refuse? And what will they do for the wedding?

We held another naming ceremony for someone who has been walking with us for a while, but who usually has to head off to Toowoomba immediately after the run. So welcome to Kermit - it's not easy being green!

Oh, and although the kids didn't pack up and go home when it got dark (as we'd expected), Culture did eventually get a turn on the flying fox at the park. You'll be glad to know that she waited her turn in the queue, and didn't push any little kids off....

Next run details
When: Sunday 7th October, 4 pm
Where: Burton Lane, at the park....
Hares: Chunder and Sweet FA

On, on!
