The "local"

I have found in Australia the equivalent of the local pub.. it has only taken me a year to do so as it is a well kept secret. It is however the local Bowls Club! Have been going for last few Wednesday evenings with members of Rachel's extended family. All v.good and just like the local pub back in England. People remember your name and there are loads of hammered retirees.

this is where we this evening

It was however bleeding hot and am now in shorts and t-shirt pouring with sweat.

Had a look at Rachel's step Dad's new car. Range Rover Sport. Very nice but will see how many times I have to pull him out of the sand at Fraser Island this weekend!!
