Kelly was off again today and it was all go this morning - Chore Day she called it - but our K was determined it would all get done in the morning and then we could chillax this afternoon. Toilets cleaned then off the launderette. (Forgot to mention that the washing machine had a terminal collapse yesterday). We filled 3 huge washing machines, then drove off to fill the car up with fuel then shopping at Foodland in Henley. At this stage, Jo and I were dismissed - we were allowed to go for a coffee while Kelly and Miller did the grocery shopping. The cafe has 2 outlets - one in Semaphore and the other in Henley and goes by the name of:
Kelly was so quick that Jo and I had only just settled down to our tea/coffee/muffin when she appeared, ready to go again. We quickly converted our liquids to take-away containers (as above) and off we went, back to the launderette (also as above) to pick up the washing, then it was back home to hang everything out to dry and we were off in the car again to get Chris' birthday present (Monday for those that may have forgotten).
Back home again to fill up the "Eskie" (Aussie for cool box) and a short walk down to the beach for a picnic lunch. The tide was way out so we settled for a spot midway where there were some little sea pools that Miller could play in:
We didn't stay long - it was way too hot and sunny to keep the little fella out there for long.
We had arranged to meet Chris for dinner at Entropy (http://www.entropysa.com.au/), a really interesting place that was an old railway shed, made famous in WWII when General MacArthur visited its then location at Terowie:
Excellent vibe - and menu:
Miller was in good form and shared everyone's meals:
Tonight we've eschewed the usual red wine in favour of G & T - Chris thought it was too hot for our usual tipple. Tomorrow we're off to brother Matt's for a BBQ and on Sunday it's Cooper's Brewery for the Paul Simon/Sting concert.
