What a Week

Today I spent the day in the Sew'n'sew Shed — SEWING. I have nearly finished putting things away and so I thought I would spend the day doing something different. So I finished the quilting on the panel for my Mum and Dad's church lectern. Now I just have to bind it and put the label on it for them.

These are photos of THE Shed

Now this has been a busy week! - is there ever any other sort?

We have friends staying (Hans & Marg), they brought their own caravan and will be staying with us for a couple of months before they head off to warmer places (Cairns) for the rest of winter.

Last weekend we went over to Gayndah to have a look at the biennial Orange Festival and it was really good. Saturday they have the street parade with stalls lining both sides of the main street. The traffic is detoured through the town via the back streets.

The Golden Oldies - A new meaning to an old saying

Katie and Pete with family in tow arrived to knock on the caravan door just after 8am.

Does it look as though it might have been cold? B****y oath it was!!

At the Sports Oval on Sunday morning there was a Bush Poet's Breakfast run by a very talented compere and poet whose name I never did find out, but we spent our $2 for a sausage, bacon and egg roll and listened to a few local poets compete for prize money. If I had of known I would have given it a go myself, though I would have had to read the poem from the book. Really good poem too, about a horse that used to be owned by a priest. Oh well there's always next year.

We then went off to the Rodeo and spent most of the day sitting in the sun. Doesn't that make you feel jealous.
