We received an out-of-the-blue text from Jaimee and Damian on Saturday afternoon. The basic gist of the message was – “you guys are our coolest friends and we’d love to spend the evening with you”. Being so cool we could hardly say no. Fortunately my Mum was in town and could babysit Ted, giving both Michelle and I the free pass to enjoy a wonderful Italian meal at Bella Cosi with Jaimee, Damian and Jen.
The meal was fantastic but a little heavy on the garlic. I’m still secreting the sweet, sweet smell of garlic through my pores today.
After a restricted week at home looking after Ted – who has had Chicken Pox – Michelle and I were both keen to get out of the house today. So after a quick breakfast we jumped in the car and headed up out past Dayboro, Mt. Mee and Woodford all the way to Somerset Dam. It was a beautiful scenic drive. We stopped off at “The Spit” to enjoy the Dayboro bakery goodies we picked up for lunch. Ted enjoyed stretching his legs and watching all the boats. Unfortunately, the air was so still and the temperature blazingly hot that it was stifling. We didn’t end up staying long, instead opting for the air conditioned comfort of our car.


On the way back we stopped by Granddad and other Granddad’s house at Petrie to say hello. Ted had a wonderful time playing down by the creek.
