Marisa is here!

We picked up Marisa from the airport today.

There was a bit of a protest in town.

We went to the Uleybury winery with Gavin and Marisa.

One of the Pipicella brothers came over to say hello.

And his sister as well. They are nice people.

Later we were surprised by Gianna, Anna and Greg joining us. Anna (Gianna's mom) sits next to Nicole.

Greg and Gianna.

This was my desert. Uleybury now makes their own grape jus that they poor over ice cream. Sensational.

Early evening we drove to Largs bay. Towards the end of prospect road people get very innovative with names.

We can all be kings I guess.

At the beach some people drew sand hearts.

On the jetty people were pretending to be fishing for crabs (crabbing).

Nicole watching the sunset.

The sunset.

Danger

That candy store I photographed the other day had "DANGER" written all over it but I couldn't help myself... I walked in and got trapped.

RRrrrgghhhhhhh.....

My purchases. It could've been a lot worse I guess. I got a sugar rush in the afternoon and my colleagues knew it. Sorry guys hehe.

New art

Today I had a Cibo breakfast again.

At my lunch spot next to the church they replaced the old art with new art. I think it looks nice. I think the owner of the lunch place behind it was bitching at it. I think he's stupid.

The come back

The way to work this morning was dramatic. Somebody allowed their car to kiss a bus. Pretty bad actually. The person driving the car must have overlooked the bus judging by the left front that was completely ripped off / dented / gone. You'd think it's kinda hard to overlook a 25 metres long and 3 metres high bus.

Police, ambulance and the firies were there and they blocked one side of the road which is why it took us half an hour to get to work...

I hope the person driving the car was OK though.

Driving to bowls after work we passed this four wheel drive with two dogs in the back seat. Don't know if you can actually see the second one. The photo is a bit crap coz of movement etc.

We kicked total lawn bowl ass tonight. We were ranked 15th and we played the runner up, nr 16. It was just Richard, Tony and me playing tonight and the first half we managed to squeeze out one point. Unfortunately our opponents squeezed out 20 points by half time. We sucked.

Then, after the break, everything turned around. We were on fire. We won end after end and when there was only one more end to go we were only two points behind: 18-20. Great come back.

A draw would've been well deserved for both parties but we ended up winning 21-20 after a measure of the third bowl that was 0.5 cm closer than the opponent's. Good stuff. What a come back!

The candy store

While scouting the streets for food I came across this candy store. It looks very nice from the outside but it didn't get me inside! I walked past...

Today's lunch.

Today's lunch-view.

After work I walked to Nicole's work. Part of the road I walked along is to be used for the Clipsal 500 race that will be held here soon.

The Bombay Bicycle Club

In the morning there was a protest across the street.

They were protesting against waste dumping.

After work we followed George, the waiter from P.J. O'Brien's to his new workplace, the Bombay Bicycle Club. We were also curious about that place and it was definitely worth the effort. The restaurant was fully booked.

They have the whole place wrapped in an "India" theme.

Nicole in the entrance.

They have an old photo of my father in lead-glass.

The short.

In the morning I started putting together a reverse loop controller that I designed. The tests went well so why not give it a go.

The day flew by and by the time I left the house for the first time it was dark. We went to the bank to get cash out.

After we went to Cafe de Vili's. I hadn't had dinner yet.

The Rundle Lantern was broken. It wasn't moving and it was only displaying half.

On the way back we drove through town.

This is the finished proto type of my reverse loop controller. It is unfortunately not working. The relays heat up for some reason. Sounds like a short to me but I am yet to find out where...
