Well Bulga me. Our lawn is down for it's annual renovation so off to Bulga we went.
The court hadn't improved but Tom the ever genial host assured us all that it had been mowed but who cares anyway it's just great fun to be out in the country.
Clare had an offsider with her and Ken was quite happy to join in even if he was a bit bemused by us all. Wendy was in shock as having come out in Ken's se was on time.
There was a little bit of golf croquet played before lunch but before long it was time to sit down and enjoy ourselves. I cooked the meat and nobody complained. Pity as I was hoping it might be a one off.. Lunch was served on the verandah overlooking the valley and soon suitably polite jokes were the order of the day. how polite depends on your point of view.
The wine flowed freely and enjoyed by all.
Nobody walked up the hill this time.
Unfortunately we had to leave early but hopefully we will have another Bulga of a day in the not too distant future.
