Pity Pity

Yeh people, this can happen too;

Due to severe weather; 40 degrees one day, much rain and a lot of wind the other, it can be that it has his affects on the lettuce.

They have grown far to big and the sun damaged and burned the edges...

We had to clean out three whole tables and threw all lettuce away....

not only the lettuce were big but the roots to so we had a hard time getting them out....

Oh well, despite the fact that we had to chuck them, we knew the geese, ducks, chicken, quail and lately even the rams are very happy with the lettuce, so why not smile....

The little ducklings are waiting already....

Yammie....

and also the Geese can't wait till Fred gets to the point where he chucks out the lettuce, followed by the rams....

Because this story is called Pity, I have some other things, very different but Pity as well!!

Emu Bay beach is only 11 k's from us but we hardly have been there because there is no shade. Then David found their umbrella which we could borrow and off we went to the beach.

It looks great doesn't it??

After the first flying off of the umbrella into the air we attached a robe on it to the back of the car. When that didn't help, we attached a second one on the front and even those two robes and the foot made of an old car wheel which is very heavy, didn't stop the umbrella from flying into the air so our last trial was a carton with coca cola on the wheel and pffff that did the trick, but in the mean time we were exhausted by jumping up several times saving the umbrella haha!!

but sure, it was also very nice!!

The ones who have followed my first Weblog, know that Fred made beer himself, already for years also when we still lived in The Netherlands.

All the time we lived in Berwick in a house he also made beer, Belgium style so with a heavy alcohol percentage of approx. 9 a 10 %. 

We loved it and when we started travelling, we could manage to put all the boxes with beer, I think there were about 10 boxes with each 15 bottles, into the caravan and car. We must have weighted very heavy haha.

You can imagine there were boxes everywhere and we could hardly fit in ourselves.

When Danny travelled with us we drank one day an ouzo together and the other day a home made beer (and we had a family hug) so slowly some of it was being used.

When Danny went home to the Netherlands, we limited ourselves to drinking our beer only in the weekend and now, here on Kangaroo Island, we drank our last bottle a few weeks ago.......

My last zip..

Pity, we miss it!

BUT!! There is always a bright side of life!

We are going on holidays to the Netherlands end of April so;

Belgium Beer, HERE WE COME!!

Cheers!
