Conjunction

Rain had been predicted earlier in the week but didn't arrive. So we were able to admire the beautiful conjunction of the moon and evening star - or, if you want to be mythological - the goddesses Diana and Venus, or Artemis and Aphrodite, in the western sky. The best of photos can't do it justice:

 

 

Both runners' and walkers' routes took us past some quiet pools along the South Pine, where the dogs encountered many other canines out for a Sunday stroll. The effort exhausted at least one of ours:

Back in the park we enjoyed lasagna, salad, chocolate, and a wide ranging discussion of issues like the state of the Kingaroy bike trail, past experiences in the Bunya mountains, and whether Penfold's Grange really is worth over $1000 a bottle....There was a lot of sympathy for Miss Demeanour, who was in the ED at the Royal Brisbane rather than at Hash. Get well soon, please - we missed you!

Please take note of our hares' warning that there will be roadworks on the Dohle's Rocks exit for those traveling north on the highway, and that it will be closed. Find another route - e.g. through Petrie or via Anzac Avenue - and allow extra time. And please bring chairs.

Email us if you need the address for this run.

On, on!

Keep off the grass

Luckily we'd all brought our hoverboards, so we were able to obey Le W*nk's instructions to not walk on the new lawn.

The spa is in place, the patio is clad in marble, the turf has been laid....Lax and Le W*nk's major renovation is just about finished, and those who can remember the place from a couple of years ago can appreciate just how major it was. All they are waiting for now is the Better Homes and Gardens journalists.

They took us on a scenic route through the surrounding streets and the patches of park and bushland that surprisingly survive among those streets. Trail markings were plentiful, if sometimes a tad confusing, and no-one got truly lost. Was it true that the run was shorter than the walk? Anyway, we all made it back (28 of us, Cash Converta counted) to sit on the grass and enjoy a meal of pasta and stew and crumble. Many thanks to our hares!
