Lol if that were the case I'd have left at 9:40am. :D When you go shopping with your mother you have to expect to be there for the long haul :p

The emoticon is something I found through Google because Chief's emoticons are limited so I search for ones that i need. I'm trying to put more effort into my posts.
+ we are appreciating that effort + enjoying them immensely

That's hilarious Bots!

My neighbour was (she's an angel now) a highly regarded, talented, award-winning costume designer + set designer for the theatre, ballet + opera. She had a black fluffy cat called Thuggie, who died at the age of 25. The following Christmas was approaching + I saw an advert for a Thuggie look-alike, showed her + asked if she'd like a Kitten for Christmas. She said yes, the kitten was at Bankstown - the suburb that Eddie Everywhere confused with Blacktown - GWS. A felafel at Bankstown, remember?

So my neighbour + I set out early on a Saturday morning to collect the kitten. Stopped at Bankstown Square for a cappuccino, only to be amazed that the shopping centre was completely empty. We'd heard a car backfiring + there were security guards + we pressed on, found a cafe + ordered our cappuccinos. The girl in the cafe was quite sullen + not enthusiastic to serve us, but we chatted on, the car backfired a few more times. She gave us cappuccinos + off we went. On the way back to the car park there were police everywhere, madly waving at us + we thought how friendly they were. The damn bloody bug***y car backfired again + the police were trying ever so hard to get our attention + we waved at them again. Then a Police SWAT team nearly knocked us over, I'd have been so p!**ed off if they'd spilled my cappuccino. Back to the car + that stupid car was still backfiring. We went + collected the kitten (which is another story altogether) drove home via Earlwood, stopped at the Our Lady of Lourdes grotto, bought some Lourdes water, baptised the Kitten + drove home. That evening at 6:00 + 20 seconds, my neighbour rang, screeched "Turn on the NEWS!!!!!!!! N - O - W - ! ! ! ! !"

There'd been a shoot out at Bankstown Square that morning between police + men 'of Mediterranean appearance' with the SWAT team storming the shopping centre (+ nearly spilling my cappuccino), shooting one of the men OMA dead, arresting a few!!!

So we'd gone into buy cappuccinos during the shooting - which I thought was that damn annoying car backfiring! So the news cameras are covering it + who do we see leaving Bankstown Square car park? Kitty's little VW Polo - didn't notice anything!!!
Talk about living in your own world!

Yeah I know!!! Amazing I could find a size 10 on sale too, usually they are all gone. It's the very small sizes and very large sizes still there.



Hahahaha, well I was going to just wander around a bit more, have breakfast/brunch, but just couldn't be arsed. So instead went over to DFO, got a hot dog from the BBQ outside JB, after I went to Spotlight.

What damage did you do at Chaddy?
Bunnings is the best on the weekend - Sausage Sizzle

Adelaide tomorrow. Though I work there every now and then don't get to look around much. First stop Allans Music for a couple of hours to try everything out then say "no thanks" and leave. Will have to park the Mrs somewhere though. DJ's. Haigh. Maybe Hahndorf this arvo.
Hahndorf = Hans Heysen country! Adore Hahndorf! Wonderful chocolates, jams, chutneys, beer, sausages + sauerkraut +++

I've stayed in Mandurah twice and liked it but some over west reckon it's a hole.
I stayed with friends in Rockingham in January + the stingers in the water were horrendous!!! Of course, I'm allergic to anything that bites, so I blew up like an elephant, was the colour of beetroot from being in the sun for two seconds :(

I stay with my Facey friend, but we have about five Facey friends in Adelaide. So we go to the markets on Friday night, then out for early lunch on the day of footy, drinks before the game, where the feral Crows fans sneer at us + then watch the game. Whichever weekend day isn't footy we do a day trip to wineries. During the week we have lunch + try to get our friends to wag from work ;) I drive to Geelong along the coast, which is the long way + we can gate crash allrighty + his Mrs allrighty before heading back to Geelong. Oh!!! + one thing I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to do next season is go to the Cremorne Hotel during the week + hopefully see some players ;) :O~

Yup, school holidays start July 3rd, I'm set. :thumbsu:
Excellent! I will go over early, to do my lunching + Facey friends catch up + we'll go to the footy Sunday, 5 July + then we'll leave on the Tuesday for Geelong. Edit that the next week's game is at Jihad -v- Norf - so we'll drive from Adelaide, via allrighty's then to Melbourne ;)
