We're off!

Post by Gob »

Going down to Adelaide for a week's holiday, with a one day cricket match on Wednesday as the highlight.

We fly at 6.00 am tomorrow, so you probably won't hear from us after this.

Behave yourselves, no nastiness or fighting.

Ignore the spammers please, and give your admin team here all the respect they deserve.

Catch you soon.

Adelaide eh, just keep your wits about you. They tend to get just a bit wild and crazy in those parts. :ok
I expect to go straight to hell...........at least I won't have to spend time making new friends.

Have a smashing time!

(I'd have to be smashed to fly across country to watch a cricket match) :nana

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Hi from sunny Adelaide. Popped into an internet cafe to do some banking (topping up the holiday funds.)

Looks like everything is going fine and dandy here, so we'll be off again! :)

Adelaide is a beautiful city, and the area we are staying, a beach front area Glenelg, (palandromic) is most wonderful, with great bars and great totty!

Got the cricket match in a couple of hours, goes on until 10.00 pm tonight. We're just about to catch a tram into the city centre.

I shook Doug Bollinger's hand yesterday, funny tale to tell you about that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Bollinger

I'm wearing my Welsh Flag, a "wife beater" and a kilt, courtesy of our good friend Aardy.

I look complete! (Go on, I've set myself up there!)

Hen is more soberly dressed, and is pretending she doesn't know me.

Tomorrow we're going on a bus tour of Adelaide vineyards, mainly in the Barossa valley, so I think I may be tempted to a glass or two. http://www.barossa.com/

Friday we've hired a car and are going driving and hiking in the Mt Lofty ranges. http://www.amlrnrm.sa.gov.au/

Hope you are all as well and happy as we are!

In an outfit like that how can women keep their hands off of you? :shock: :shock:

...well, at least this time he's got a shirt on :roll:

You have to use 'hands on' to push them away, eh?

Seems a shame to ruin such a lovely vacation by going to a cricket match....
