Chilling out, sister visit and trip to the big city

Hello my family and friends......a bit of relaxing was in order last week so lit some candles and burned some incense and enjoyed ☺

We sometimes go to this little cafe for a coffee (me some herbal tea or veg juice) and maybe breakfast....anyway here are some more of their cute salt and pepper shakers.....peas in a pod ☺

Couple of donkeys.......

My sis Loo, came to visit so a walk down town to have pizza was the order for the night ☺
Marinara I had and so did Carl.....

The man had penne beef ragu....

Loo had some yummo olive pizza forgot its name lol 

A little bit of red wine was also enjoyed lol 

They have a new car and were very happy to show it to us.......

Next morning we took a 6+ klm walk return down town again and stopped at the bowls club for some water....Paul and Carl ♥

Wendy and Loo ♥

Another relaxing evening was enjoyed with this lovely candle (thank you Sarah) and a little sock knitting......

On Wednesday we caught the train to the big smoke (city Melbourne) info here which is a bit over 2 hour train trip for us....the man was having a hearing test early the following morning so easier to stay the night....

Started off quite empty but plenty got on and off along the way.....

That night we went to a Korean bbq place for tea......

bbq plates on every table.....and a selection of sauce/oil/salt....

Some red wine and water of course ☺☺

Seeing I snapped the man, well had to take a selfie as you do ....

Some vegie selections to share.....

Onion, potatoe, pumpkin, sweet potatoe, pineapple and garlic cooking....they put it on and come back to turn over till cooked....

Spring onion salad with chili and carrots, cucumber lettuce.....

Marinated beef getting cooked with mushrooms too.....

Marinated pork belly pieces waiting there turn...

All done and eaten and must say it was really delish and a neat change for us ☺☺

This area is called little-saigon and they put a boat sculpture to represent all the boat people who risked their lives to leave Vietnam and the communist problems.....
Plenty of fantastic places to eat here thanks to them ♥

Back on the train yesterday morning.....we really were happy lol 

and on the way back we had to wait for another train to come past as part of the track closer to home is single......

TOOT TOOT  the big diesel......☺☺
Been home today walking and catching up and TOMORROW  we go to see the beautiful grand baby girl who is now 3 months old!!! Will take plenty of photos....
Catch you all again soon xoxoxox

Around home, family visit and a blue angry bird lol

Hi again, this is catching up with what were got up to before Saturday......Friday we took a drive to order some new tyres for my car and on the way back along a quiet country road we saw this turtle crossing the road......He would not put his head back out for me to take a pic...camera shy lol 

The man then carried him back to the pond area he must have come from....

We reckon these cattle may have disturbed him and he thought I am out of here, but the road is not the place to hang out.....

We then came across more cattle, this time they were along the road, but they at least had farmers with them ☺

Eating along the way......

I started this blue angry bird for my boy in Sydney for his birthday which is tomorrow (2nd Nov Monday)

I managed to crochet it up quite quickly thanks to the great pattern here  ravelry

Looking good 

And finally got the black tail feathers done ☺

He was put in the mail early Friday so am hopeful he arrives safe by Monday with a bit of luck...
Happy birthday Rex xoxo

We had family visitors and decided to eat tea out at a local La Porchetta.....Here is the mans youngest boy 

He chose Ribs with chips.....gave the salad to someone else as he does not do salads lol 

The girl's guy who I call on here Scotty (from Scotland)

He chose the massive mixed grill lol 

My girls, sorry about the blurry pic ♥

She chose the same as me, pasta Pescatore ( I love seafood)

The man's girl and yep that tongue as usual lol 

Cant remember what her past dish was called but looked yummy......

My girls guy......

He chose Marinara pizza and it is one of my favourites too 

The man

He chose Penne Matriciana 

And of course I better put a pic of myself.....we had a lot of fun and walked down and back so good exercise for us all and could have a little red wine with the meal too ☺

When we got back home we saw this hideous spider and showed Scotty who has not come across one of these before.....they can be sometimes quite massive, luckily not this one and at least it was outside lol 
What is happening in your neck of the woods....
