Who with?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

This guy I met on OK Cupid We've been talking for about a week and a half and exchanged phone numbers last week. We've spent almost 3 hours on the phone JUST TODAY.

So... Yeah. I think we're going to the zoo, since it's free and it's supposed to be nice out on Tuesday.

 

[PrincessInOz]

The zoo would be a nice place to go to on a date.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Yup I figured we could have also done the planetarium, since we're both geeks, but he said the zoo was fine

 

[PrincessInOz]

Just catching up on a few threads and then I have a few errands to do. How are things in Chicago?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

They're okay. Just still looking for work and hoping someone will call me soon.

So... Yeah. I think we're going to the zoo, since it's free and it's supposed to be nice out on Tuesday.

Sounds like a good place for a date.

Here are my pictures from the Wattle Festival....


The Hurstbridge Wattle Festival is one of those yearly festivals in Melbourne that is part of the marking of time. It heralds in Spring and the golden yellow blossoms from Wattle Trees.

We got there early and went to have breakfast at one of the cafe's there. It didn’t seem all that busy when we got there and placed our order. I don’t know what was going on in the kitchen, but it took them over 50 minutes to bring out our food. We were about to get up and leave when we realized that our order was up next. Nothing wrong with the food….

I ordered the equivalent of the kitchen sink for breakfast….sausage, bacon, poached eggs, tomato, spinach, mushroom, hash brown and toast.

DH ordered scrambled eggs, tomato, spinach, humous in a pide

DS ordered the French toast with caramelized banana and berries.

Wattle? This is what wattle looks like.

The festival’s main attraction is a steam train. It runs about 5 or 6 services during the day, a round trip of about 45 minutes. Tickets sell out early, hence why we got there early.

The trip takes you through semi rural countryside.

…and the kids just enjoy hanging out the windows (with the parents all yelling at them to pull their heads in!)

And some random shots (including food porn) of how the festival looks in the township.

That was a nice interlude, quick TR of a local event from PIO.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Almost like being there....

 

[skiingfast]

Well yes, but not as tasty.
