Sunday tennis, dance competition and jacks Ridge





Rene our Swiss friend phoned for a game of tennis on sunday morning, so, Mum and lorenz came and we picked Rene on the way. Unfortunately there were about 60 kids there and when we found an adult, there was a 3 day competition which ruled out play. We noticed a dance competition was being held in the local supermarket (SM) car park and so we stopped for a look to spy (for me and rene and perhaps lorenz,) any pretty girls...there were a few. Music was too loud, so, didn't stop long, sun was coming out, so, out came the umbrellas which stopped Mums viewing. So, that was the morning, invited Rene and his wife Nilda to Jacks Ridge restaurant, it was very nice, quite busy but not too crowded, great food, just right, everyone happy, lorenz had ribs, we all had tuna belly steak grilled perfectly 400 grams, loved the meaty taste, broccoli with beef and fried rice with veggies, it was all delicious, me and mum 2 san mig pilsens, rene just one, he's just not a drinker.

After Jacks Ridge it was an afternoon kip followed by a lazy day really. Anns mum Cora came from Tagum, with Nika (Anns sister Joys daughter) and they flitted between our house and Karens house which is a couple of blocks away. A nightcap or two, watched liverpool grab an early lead against chelski before retiring to bed. Glad we did coz l'pool strangled the life out of the game i read, not pretty to watch, i think they are a poor team really, glad not to watch them.

That was it. Added James and Lucy to my blog list Hi Jim and Lu take care and Love to all
