The North Country

I’ve been in a bit of a creative slump lately, don’t got nothin’ original to say so can’t be bothered not saying it. BUT let me tell you a little bit about our long weekend, last weekend…

...McG and I headed out to Wangaratta, about 2 and a half hours north of Melbourne, where friends of ours have a family farm.

It was so peaceful out there, quite hot (high 30s) so plenty of swimming opps in the Ovens River, drinking alchoholic ginger beer at the local saloon (shit, that shit’s good shit) and hanging out in the air-conditioned ranch.

On the Sunday we went wine, cheese and olive tasting near Milawa, a lazy day, and started the wine tasting late morning so I got reeeeeeeeaaaaallly drooooowwwsy and had a few nana naps that afternoon. Everyone thought I was up the duff because I was so sleepy all the time. I think I simply needed the rest, ‘cos I’ve been chockers at work and play.

Also on Sunday, I rose at crack of dawn (6.30 am! Incontheivable!) to watch the most beautiful sunrise. The serenity was broken only by “lamby-lamb”, the family lamb bleating pathetically & with stylus broken. Meh.

Great weekend, and we’ve got another long one coming up next weekend! Think we’re overdue for a campin’ trip….
