The green, green grass of Highvale

It's been a while since we traversed the grassy sward (good word, that) beneath the Samford Downs powerlines. And it was a good afternoon to revisit the area. The air was crisp and clear - and the grass had been recently mown. The walkers completed an out-and-back route, while the runners tackled a more extended circuit. Pleasingly, Le W*nk and Budgie were foiled in their attempt to shortcut by turning back too soon....

Back home on the deck we wolfed down pasta, salad and ice-cream, and almost cleared out a pretty full beer esky. Many thanks to our hospitable hare Big Donk!

It seemed that one person had not absorbed the news about a 4 pm start. So - a down, down for Skippy!

Easter up the creek

We're often a bit thin on the ground over the long weekend, but perhaps Mr. Trump's efforts to promote EV sales kept us closer to home this year. Remember how the president hosted a Tesla sales event at the White House last year? His current actions are probably even more effective.

Anyway, after a few days of scoffing buns and chocolate most of us were content with a gentle and shady creek-side stroll on a pleasant autumn afternoon. And though the hares were a bit concerned they'd under-catered, it was probably good to give our digestive systems a bit of a break (?).

Floater's retirement from EQ was celebrated with a down, down; and Prossy (as we've called him) revealed that he's on the point of settling in the Redcliffe area. We haven't run around there since Topless moved to Germany, but we may be back....

And it seemed that everyone got the message about the 4 pm start time. Well done, all.
