Last weekend we headed off to Geelong to see Ma & Pa (Ruth and Ian). A 10:40 flight meant we did not have to get up to early but did have to rush in Geelong as we were booked for 12:30 for lunch with Jenny & Ted as well. Unfortunately the fellow in the queue for hire cars did not realise we were in a hurry!
Lunch was good - even though I did not realise the meat loaf in my ploughman's lunch was not bread and buttered it. Ah well, will wear the glasses next time (I wondered why it w
as so warm....)Above is a picture of one of the incredible zygotes Pa has growing, it is as impressive as the rest of Geelong is dry - they really need rain.
We went for a drive after lunch and then headed into Geelong to find a motel room. Oops! We seemed to have hit a busy weekend and found the No Vacancy sign out everywhere. Eventually we found a room in Belmont.
There was a restaurant nearby but it was booked out for the night. Take away pizza was good though.
Sunday we saw Ian Ruth again before heading off after lunch.
You're getting charmingly batty, Mum! Buttering meatloaf... Thanks for the itinerary. I'm off to make a pudding. Love Rach.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me! I had a perfectly sane vegetarian canaloni. Dad was the batty meatloaf butterer.
ReplyDeleteThis confusion was entirely due to nothing but stupidity - although in my defense I will say the meatloaf looked suspiciously like bread... It was brown and everything and unless I am very much mistaken probably had bread or at least breadcrumbs or possibly cereal in it. Nothing even vaguely red was involved.
