I forgot to add a photo from the morning that Kelly, Chris and Ross went off quad biking on KI. It was Wednesday 2nd - the day after Ross stopped smoking. Shall I say that last bit again? Yes, he hasn't smoked for almost a week now. Not a New Year resolution as such, but something he said he would do sometime, so why not now?
Anyway, here's the photo of the three of them - David and Lorene had planned to join them, but David had been suffering with what turned out to be shingles - it was finally diagnosed at a late night visit to the doctor. His eye was virtually closed and it was beginning to look worrying, but thankfully he's on the mend now.
On Friday, we were all due to attend the Cirque du Soleil show Ovo, and we headed off for the giant marquees with the temperature reading in the car rising alarmingly to 45 C. When we got there, we were told that the show had been cancelled on health and safety grounds - hardly surprising really.
What else could we do but go and have a beer at Wright's Hotel - one of the places that had been closed last week when we tried to go there. From there it was just a short hop across to Central Markets and the Asian Food Court there. We'd been on previous occasions and had enjoyed it, and this was no different. Here's Jo and Ross enjoying their meals:
We managed to get re-booked to go back to see Ovo on Saturday when the temperature had dropped back in to the 30's. Here's the stage at the start:
Great show - the theme was the insect world.
Yesterday (Sunday) we drove back up to Lobethal to re-fill my Growler:
On the way back we popped in to stroll around Hahndorf, a pretty little German, touristy town - lots of places to eat and drink. We stopped outside the German Arms and posed in the stocks:
No faces in the son and daughter holes - Ross wasn't feeling too good at this stage - perhaps a little beat of heat exhaustion/sunstroke? - and Kelly had stayed behind to clean the house and prepare tea.
Kelly started to feel a little ill in the evening and went to bed early. She still didn't feel good in the morning - so poorly she never even went to the early morning gym session today.
Chris drove us down to Westfield shopping centre in Marion and we met his Mum and Dad for a quick lunch. David is definitely on the mend now and was a lot chirpier today.
Apart from that, we haven't done much today, although Chris is taking Ross out for a few beers and a pizza with his pals tonight. The rest of us had originally planned to go and see Les Miserables in the cinema but I think we'll put that off now.
We did have a short walk this morning - down the Parade and back up through the side streets. We spotted what I regard as a pretty typical old Adelaide house, complete with grey corrugated tin roof:
So that's me back up to date with my blogging again - bye for now!
