So if you can send me your snail mail address i will post you a pattern.

Last weekend was the Port Adelaide Festival Tony and I went for a wander on the Saturday night to see the buildings lite up and then again on Sunday as the weather was lovely.

The One and All

a tall ship training vessel.

These days this is not a common site, the bridge opening.

and closing

The Yelta

The bridge that ruined The Port (thanks Mr Rann)

I'm not sure exactly what this was, but it was amazing the way it moved in the wind.

Then on to a late lunch at North Haven.

I have loads to do at the moment but I have spent the afternoon make scrunchies with my niece, she is off on her Netball teams end of season trip. As is everything with my niece it is always last minute we made 20. They are off on a house boat for 3 nights it did sound like fun however I think I would like it more with about 18 less girls.

The weekend that was

It is hard to believe it is Wednesday and I haven't posted for 3 weeks. It was a long weekend here in South Australia. If you are looking for cratyness you can leave now I have been doing bits and pieces but nothing to show.
Saturday morning I got up to this.



Lucas and Nic got home at 1am and decided to sleep in their swags in the back yard!!!!!!!!!Then the troop started arriving it was Grand Final Day and the BBQue was at our place.

I am not sure why they decided to dress as 70's tennis players.Sadly I had to go to work I left Tony with the camera here are some of the results.





Not quite my standard of photography LOL. Not sure why we needed a photo of the lounge and the front door looking out.



There was tree climbing if you look close you can see a blue shirt up the tree apparently he got to the top, footy and who knows what the broom was for out on the Circuit.



There was a swim in the lake although it was not hot and a shopping trolley which was found and returned the next day to the nearest shopping centre. So in all it was a long day with lots of sore heads.
Sunday saw Gemma and I playing with cupcakes.





Monday was very peaceful it was just Tony and I we went for a walk down the beach and had a meal sitting out side in the lovely sunshine.







It always amazes us how well behaved some dogs are or reminds us how unruly our dogs are.If you have gotten this far you have done well so I though I would give away a copy of my bag pattern that I have final finished writing. Just leave a comment and I will pick a name next week.
