I had a lovely long day trip on Wednesday to check out camp sites in the Scenic Rim. So I thought I'd share what I found. I was particularly looking at free or cheap camps.

And I did try hard to get those boys to come out to play but alas it was a no show. It might have to be divine intervention to get them all here together at the same time I think. Can not play by myself in here it is no fun doing the stirring without anyone. I'm going to take my bat and ball back to the loungeroom...

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise. The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.

After counting their money at the end of the day, they realise they'd ended up with no more money than they'd started wi...

I know many men - but not all - believe the blacker the billy and better the taste. IMHO that is hogwash! I use mine in and out of the van and also at home and I insist they be kept in as new condition as possible. Mine are years old and still shining.
