Bendigo Meet

The weekend in Bendigo was fantastic, we (Godiswatching and myself) got to the lake at about 12.15 and met Squid and Joanna first, Hanz and FireBird had gone off for a bit while Cozmos and belovedgirl had gone to the supermarket. I'd only met two of them before so at first it was a little awkward meeting people for the first time offline. We had some great and interesting conversations. Cozmos had the internet on his mobile phone and was reading some of the Gush posts after lunch.

Ducks go Quack.....how do you spell quack?

The were some entertaining statements made that will probably be quoted again for some time.
After lunch we went upto the Bendigo lookout and had a peak at the surroundings. While we were on the tower some woman was running up and down the stairs... Such fitness is something i will probably never experience... anyway, after the tower we went to BigW as some people needed to buy some shorts so that we could go swimming. We went to the Caravan park where we were staying and sorted our stuff out, put up the marque between the vans, and then went to the pool. It was alittle cold in the water at first, but we got used to it. Cozmos has some photos from beside the pool on his website. Is he a Dolphin or a Seal??? Perhaps some combination of the two.

We all went to KFC for dinner... Mmm, popcorn chicken. I love popcorn chicken. After tea we went back to the park, on the way there was a santa on the side of the road handing out candy canes, he didn't have much of a gut and his voice hadn't broken.

We watched Hitch on the laptop when we got back, but had to use subtitles as the laptop speakers weren't loud enough. It's a good movie which we can learn a few things from. The subtitles show you some things that you probably wouldn't pick up just by listening to what is said. We went to bed just after midnight after Hanz got picked up.

On the sunday we went to maccas for breakfast and had hotcakes. It was about 10am when we got there, FireBird had a can of lemondrink in a stubbie holder, and a manager asked him what was in the can.. she thought it was alcohol.

We sat there for about 30 or 40 minutes. The booth seats weren't as comfortable as they were at KFC the night before. We then went to the gardens for a bit before heading off to Castlemaine, where we met up with some people the Cozmos knows. We were at a cafe.. and were there until about 1.30pm. We headed home after that, and got maccas when we got back.

No more fast foods.... that is my plan. Hopefully I can stick to this.
