Talking to Maggie on Skype

Chatting to my Little is so much fun. My camera is broken so she can't see me, but I was able to talk to her and see her smiling face! Hi Maggie! Wonderful to catch up with you. See you in a week's time! Big hugs from your Mummy.

A Stroll Along The Fishpen

An afternoon stroll took me along the Fishpen. Pretty views and pelicans were just what I need.

The Merimbula Oyster Beds. Grow, you babies, Grow!

Morning Walk Along the Beach

Sunshine glinting on the waves. A glorious morning.

And a nice blob, too.

The London Marathon

I'm so proud of my sister, Gabi who just completed the London Marathon on Sunday. She ran all the way, in around 5.25 hours. Pretty amazing stuff! Here is a photo of her training. Go, Gabi-cat, go!

Final Morning at the Park

A final walk on the beach with Stick before he heads off to Canberra

And checking out the locals...

Then it is time for me to wave goodbye to Stick and the vannie.

See you on Friday!

70 Off the Stick - 2 Under Par

That was our score... a net 60.5. We combined with a couple from Bermagui, Tony and Wilma Scarpin for a 4 person Ambrose. Sticky played very well, and Wilma's handicap of 34 helped bump up our handicap. An Eagle on the hardest hole of the course, the 26th par 5, was the highlight. Sticky grumbled a bit at the distance of 126 metres from the pin, saying it was between clubs. I had a go, coming up short of the green, and Wilma's shot was no good either. It was all down to Stick, who swung beautifully and slam dunked the hole! There was quite a bit of whooping and high fives going on! The winning team had a huge handicap and we would have won the gross (if there was one!). We had to make do with runner ups, but were pretty damn pleased with ourselves!

This is the official photo published on the Pambula Merimbula Golf Club website. And I do realise, I am wearing the same shirt as I was on Thursday... It is obviously my "running up" shirt.

Success on the Golf Course!

Finally! Success. I got runner up "A" Grade with 72 Net from Judy Bell, who had a net 71. It took the greens having been sanded and cored. Pretty ugly stuff. But I'm proud...

Another Boring Lunch!!!

Oysters, Prawns, Sashimi (with fresh yellowfin tuna), Nori rolls. Yum.

Sticky makes a new friend...

Sticky meets a fellow resident of the caravan park and invites her to visit our campsite.

She takes quite a shine to him.

Oi! Lay off!

Our Favourite Cafe

Our Favourite Spot for Coffee Drinking. This is the best coffee in Merimbula! And the cafe sits right on the water.

(Maybe that is why it is called the Waterfront Cafe?)
View across the lake to "The Fishpen". Very nice real estate.

Visitors to the Caravan Park

Black Cockatoos have suddenly appeared and are wingeing in the trees. They literally winge! They are just gorgeous, so I'm delighted to see them. In the Alps their appearance usually signifies inclement weather. At the beach, it means they are greedy and want to eat the gumnuts.

Just talked to my Mum and Dad

My Mum has just undergone a knee operation and is now recuperating at a hotel. Check it out!!! I spoke to Mum and Dad on the phone and they are pretty well, considering they have to endure the facilities of this place. I offered to come and visit, but they head back to Horsham on Saturday. Sigh...

A Day At Merimbula

The kangaroos at the caravan park are very curious, and always looking for a feed...

It is Men's Day at Merimbula Golf Club, and Sticky is about to hit off.
The Clubhouse is pretty nice!
Sticky drives down the first hole, and I head off to walk along the beach.
Watching the spoonbills checking out the beach for crustaceans.


Pambula Beach real estate. We are keeping our eyes open for a suitable house overlooking the ocean.
