Friday. Finished up work a bit early on Friday and left around 17:45. Had an ok run, although somewhat slow going down the Clyde due to a very slow Canberran not using the slow vehicle pullout bays and causing a very long bankup of cars behind them. Saw the rocking horses this side of Nelligen in a few different places. The Nelligen Pub was packed which was pretty cool. It actually looked really nice with lights over the beer garden. Bit of a tense drive up the highway once it got dark but made it without hitting anything. Had a couple of drinks with Kit and Pete and chatted for a while which was nice. Slightly late night but not too bad.
Saturday. Slept relatively well. It is So. Dark. there though. I'm used to suburban light and our hallway nightlight flooding the house with light.
Bit of a slow start waiting for everyone to get up and ready. Then had to decide on a plan of attack for the day. In the end we decided to head up to Ulladulla for brunch. Went to Ocean Vibes and I had a nice eggs benedict with bacon.
Then back to Kit and Pete's.
Kit and I went off to the Milton Show, but I'll post that separately.
Got back and did animal stuff.
Kit still has a heap of guinea fowl and chickens, but no ducks or turkeys anymore.
Vicki is stubbornly refusing to die, but is definitely feeling her age. They've still got Jasper the dachshund, and Biscuit and her two sons Oreo and Mr Floofy.
This is Toby, an old horse of Chloe's. Kit still has Scout and Ricky as well.
Then had a quick shower and headed up to Mollymook to the Golf Club for dinner with Travis and Temika (no idea how to spell her name haha).
Kit and I shared some duck spring rolls (with barely a skerrick of duck) which were quite nice, and a Hawaiian schnitty which was pretty average.
Stu had some seafood by the sea
Then back to Kit and Pete's for a game of Kismet. I actually got *two* Kismet's but could only count the first one of 3's, not the second one of 6's :) Kit won in the end.
Sunday. Hot and sweaty overnight. Really need to bring a fan to their place in summer heh.
Biscuit in the middle with her two crumbs - Mr Floofy on the left and Oreo on the right
I waited for a while for everyone else to get up, and found some Lego to play with. Didn't get time to build all three, just the chicken (or whatever it is), after pulling apart the unicorn.
Also found there's three missing pieces.
Left around 10:00, via the Scottish Restaurant.
Got a photo of a couple of the Nelligen Rocking Horses
Then we listened to a very depressing talk that Cory Doctorow did recently on Enshittification. Remember the Good Old Days when Google was actually GOOD??? Now it's been enshittified along with everything else on the internet (and even in the real world) and it makes me just want to be a hermit and get offline.
Also. All. The. Teslas. I started to look for them on the way back. Must have passed literally dozens of the things...
