Australia Day. 26th January 2012.

Australia day is a time when the Aussies celebrate being Australian... .. Not sure how that works exactly compared to anyother day but still it's their country. Also it is a very noticeable and special day for immigrants who have taken the plunge to naturalize. So all in all it seems a day which has nothing to do with me.
I went to work in the morning and got home about 3.00pm. Only then did we decide to join in the fun and that was by going round to a friend’s house to play pool. Great afternoon playing pool and having a few beers all topped off with a fantastic garlic prawns and rice dish. At the back of the house, set in a quiet neighbourhood was a small garden which had about 7 resident Kookaburras. Lovely birds who eat meat. ‘Blue’ the guy who owned the house feeds them every day. He gave us a quick demonstration of how friendly they are. Eating out of his hands.

Chill Bar Pool League Our Standing

Been playing pool as usual every Monday night. This season has been poor but at least I do get out and about. But I've just found a new 'widget' to go on this page. The pool league league table. So check it out down on the left hand side columns on this site to see how we are doing. If you can't be bothered I'll save you the effort of looking and tell you. Badly!!!! Very badly....

Owens 'Saling' And A Harley

Had our usual Monday evening pool game. And yes we lost. Again. Seems to be the way for the last few months. It was the last game of the season so we can only hope next season will bring us better luck.

We went there by Owens new three wheeler. An experience in the day time made even more interesting by night!

Having parked up I realised we were parked behind a Harley. So take a good look at the photo. Which do you prefer...

Chill Bar The Dark Side........

Monday night saw celebrations. After several months of competing on the pool circuit the Chill Bar team won top of the league. Chill Bar Had a wonderful celebration and excellent food, along with the team and what made it an even better evening, most of the competition turned up to make it a moment to remember. Simon, the Landlord and Pie his wife put on an excellet spread. The league is hardly of a world shattering standard but it's on every Monday evening and its fun. This present league is now over and we should be up and running again in a new league in a month or so. Need to ensure we win again....
