If we were Mason's ball...

We had a breakfast appointment in town today. So we arrived at the Rundle market at 9:15. If you click this photo to see the bigger version, you can see how the city of Adelaide looks very much like a wild-west town. It just needs a dirt road, really.

This is my favorite shop. A lady who sells bags that she made her self. I hate bags but I have great admiration for someone undertaking this and being successful. Her stall shits on the others that sell chemical candy or Amsterdam raggy clothes.

We met Stephen for breakfast. It was very nice to see him again and we were honored that he managed to free up time from his overly bust study-schedule :-)

When we came home, the pigeons were sunbathing on our lawn.

This is what you would see if you were Mason's ball. Quite the view don't you think?

I mowed the front lawn today. I think our lawn mower is giving up. I wanted to look what was wrong but it's put together in such a way that you cannot open it up. That pisses me off these days...

I sat down in our garden with mason to clean my bowls. They are coming to The Netherlands with me and I'm planning to bring Night Owls bowls back with me as well!

ACE!

A rose in our front garden.

For the first time in five weeks again we had breakfast at Scoozi's in town again. It was great to be out again. I love going out for breakfast. It's soooo relaxed. For some reason it feels nicer than dinner even.

I had to grab some poffertjes from the Dutch Adelaide poffertjes lady. They were great as usual.

Then we walked up and down the market.

Instead of walking through town we drove to Glenelg.

I had ACE gelato, the best in the world. Simply sensational.

Then we saw the beach.

While walking back to the car I spotted this beauty. Nice piece of work. Excellent.

In my attempt to eat more healthy I made another salad today. Enough veggies for the rest of the week!

The walk

This morning we scored breakfast at Scoozi's.

I finished off with the best poffertjes in the world.

We went home to change clothes, then we filled up the car and then we drove to Larg's bay where we went for a little walk through the dunes.

It's a nice little trail with wooden bridges.

I was wearing my carrot pants. Unfortunately Nicole wouldn't allow me to wear a green t-shirt ;-)

Lots of other people were walking/running/cycling here as well.

There are Norfolk Pine trees along the side of the road here. They can get rather large.

The blog dude

We went in to town this afternoon. But first we dropped Vicky off at the Croatian club. This is their main building.

In town there were two main attractions. One was the Rundle market where I was going to hunt down poffertjes. The other was was "Cheese fest". A cheese (mainly, but also some wine) festival. In this picture you see the start of the Rundle market.

This was the side of the park where there were no festivities. It looked beautiful although this picture doesn't really show. In the middle you can just see two people sitting in the grass. How fortunate are they.

Walking down the market, we found the poffertjes stand! I ordered my portion and the lady says "are you the blog dude?". That was funny. I checked and if you google for "poffertjes Adelaide Show" my blog shows up first. Very funny.

Anyway, the poffertjes were sensational again. I'm really glad to have them around. Thank you poffertjes lady! :-)

At cheese fest it was pretty busy. Too busy actually. As the cheese tasting was for free (entrance fee was $10) there were biiiig line-ups for the stands that actually had cheese left.

There was a band playing old time classics.

A bit more to the back people were just sitting in the grass with some wine and a cheese platter or whatever.

In a tent there were cooking shows, mainly with cheese.

We scored some absolutely cracking sauces made from native plants. I'm sure Nicole will have more about those on her blog.

Afterwards we sat down at Scoozi's for a small pizza and a drink.

These Akita pups walked past.

When we came home we made our bed using the new linen we bought on Friday. It looks good I think and it feels great. 100% cotton.

The linen is actually called "Dutch rose" and it looks like Delft blue.

I found this photo on Craigs blog the other day. It's explaining a disease called Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. I never really understood what it was. If you click the photo you'll see a larger version and you can actually read about it. It's a fascinating piece of medical information and it makes the disease totally understandable.
