Visiting Uncle Gordon

Yesterday (Wednesday) after settling in at Bernard and Joan’s we went for a walk to the local shopping centre and bought dried fruit and nuts to make scroggin for the walk – no liquorice bullets sorry Steve. Then after cheese and onion pasties for Joan and I and a Chicken Fajita pie for Frank Bernard drove us over to visit my mother’s other brother Gordon. Gordon was busy cooking his tea when we arrived – roast chook and boiled cabbage were part of the menu. We spent most of the visit taking it in turns to stroke Gordon’s dog Gypsy who loves a bit of a fuss.

Frank took a picture of Bernard, me and Gordon before we left Gordon to enjoy his tea.

We were both too tired to stay up and try to catch the Perseid shower last night and Joan said she forgot. You’re supposed to be able to see up to 80 shooting stars an hour if the sky is clear but after around only 6 hours sleep since Monday night all Frank and I were seeing was the inside of our eyelids :-)
