Well done Blacky, & Mrs Blacky, great pics & photos. The smile gone from my face as one of our little dish lickers has taken a dislike to the second hand movement on our new clock, growls & eventually barks at it, i love it though.
Thanks again to all who had something to do with putting the whole thing on & the talented people who came up with the fantastic prizes.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

This silo art near Dimboola was my pick of the trip - dedicated to a local bloke who mentored a heap of kids playing tennis , he is no longer with us so he is shown as a ghost wearing his trademark hat and glasses

Obligatory photo at the old dealers shop in Nhill - last time we were here it was full of dust , is now home to a private collection

Scaredy cat. Yer i didn’t see any of that when we passed through Nhill, but then I was doing my best to drive the ute while fending off the grim reaper. Lurgy begone. It was carbies in the kitchen yesterday and out cutting down trees with the neighbour today.

Ann Marie looking cheeky and Roger looking serious.
