More food. More wine

And what it involved was more walking!!

Tony, The Builder and I went for a stroll along the Balcombe Estuary boardwalk.  It's a pleasant walk along the boardwalk, up to the Nepean Highway, where you can, should you be minded, join up with the walking trails in The Briars.  We didn't. We turned around and headed back to the car.  It was a bit embarrassing, though - my 55 year old feet walked into the ground by a pair of oh-so-nearly 80 year old feet!!

Then we went back to the house and collected Stella, and drove out to Merricks to the Veraison restaurant for a magnificent lunch, followed by a trip to Flinders to inspect a new crafty type shop, where I didn't spend nearly $300 on a pretty, new dress.  Tony and The Builder went to a meeting of the Apple Mac club in the evening and learned how to edit video on your Mac.  Stella and I stayed behind and watched Caroline Quentin solving a murder on the telly.

And today Stella and Tony have been to  meeting to sort out The Party, leaving The Builder and me to supervise Wendy-the-Cleaner.  Tony, TB and i dashed into Dromana to visit the Diggers seed shop and came home with pies and chips (and seeds!). Stella had her hair done, then undone by the wind as she came home.  Liz Fildes dropped in to say hello.  And The Builder and I drove to Reservoir to collect Lindsey and then she drove us to Ballarat, where we are now eating fish and chips and playing with Lucy the Great Dane.
