So Immature!

You bet!
And loving it!
This may or may not have been me having a bit of a scream on the Cha Cha.
It may or may not have been my 41st birthday.

Daggy ladies - and I mean that with the most sincerest of affection, in the Cancer Council caravan at the Relay for Life.

Theme Day - My Local Corner Shop

I haven't got one!!
The corner local shop seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur, round these parts.
Which is strange, right?
We're a country town!
They've been squeezed out by the convenience of big supermarkets.
The baker, butcher and fruit shops are all still going, it's just the little corner shop that has died out.
But I'm "posamistic" that they will have their day again!


Bloggers from around the world have participated in today's theme day.
Check them out here

Sold For Seven Dollars!

I went to an auctiony thing today at the local Uniting Church.
I saw this pot plant stand I really liked and I won the hot, hot bidding.
But I got all this other stuff as well - a grease gun, a grinding wheel, a christmas tree stand, some bbq tools, a tv cabinet, a table frame with wheels, some old anodized cups, a drawer(!?!) and one of those whirlpool brush wash the car things - I think that's everything - all for $7.
I got lots of fabulous treasures inside the church hall at the stalls, too!

Too Sweet

Ain't they sweet?
Little girls talking little girl talk.
Totally engrossed in their own little world, oblivious to everything else around them.

They have their highland dancing outfits on - they performed at the Ararat Gift.

Blokes & Scaffolding

Fiddling with Paintshop, of course.
These blokes are adding scaffolding to the old post office.
I dunno why.
Normally, when you see scaffolding like this, it is to clean the bricks (stones, whatever).
But this is bluestone (contrary to the nice orange in the photo!) not sandstone - you wouldn't be able to tell if it was dirty or not.

Mmmm.......sausages!

Hunting down a good sausage is well worth the effort!
(or so I've heard!)
And these sausages from The Pyrenees Gourmet Butcher were very popular at the recent Farmers' Market.
Yes, I had one.
Yes, they were delicious.

The Cupcake Lady

I had run out of money by the time I'd made it to The Cupcake Lady at the Farmers' Market.
Damn!

Run Forrest, Run!

I don't think his name is Forrest.
It could be - but I don't think so.
One of the competitors in the Ararat Gift heats today.
Beautiful weather - a relaxing day spent sitting out in the warm sun
(watching the athletes run like mad buggers!).
