Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

Buzz...........my first MIL was here today for lunch..........she is 82........and her mobile phone rang.

Our eldest daughter said......"Nan do you have your mobile phone on you?.....I think it is ringing"

So MIL proceeds to rumage through her handbag................(and the phone is still ringing)

MIL finds the phone.............puts it to her ear................(and the phone is still ringing)

Our daughters and I try not to giggle.

MIL says to our daughter.........."I think there is something wrong with the phone..........it wont let me answer it."........(and the phone is still ringing"

Our daughters say......"Nan.............you have to answer it.............push the button"

"Oh....says Nan...........I thought you did that when you got a message"..........(and the phone is still ringing)

She finally figures out how to answer it............it was her daughter............and I am taking a guess it is not the first time they have had to let it ring and ring and ring until she remembers what to do................(was that a glimpse of my future.....)

We had another cricket game..............not as enthusiastic as yesterday............I think everyone is runnig out of puff............and a bit overloaded on "GOOD" food.

Mind you..............todays game was more authentic than yesterdays match...........we had seagulls on the pitch.....(someone told them there was a BBQ here).

And we had a streaker...............a gorgeous two year old running through the middle of the game yelling.......My outfit is wet......my outfit is wet...............and stripped down to her bare bum.

Then we sat down at the table in the gazebo and played this new game our eldest son was given...........it is like Trivial Pursuit..........but about TV shows and Movies.

Our middle grandson snuck off for a bit and we wondered what he was up to............and he came out dressed up as Optimus Prime.

Here he is...........(I thought I had best not show you the picture of our grand daughter doing the nudie run.....even if she does look cute)

That's a pretty cool suit, Flashie....did he get it for Christmas?

Hi Stringers 🙂 I've been enjoying a lazy day.

[flashie*]

Yes............we bought it...............we always try to buy them presents that do not involve things electronic.....they always get that sort of stuff from their parents.

I have put some Christmas pictures from the Flashie family in forum 5678.4333

[just_me_karen]

Flashie I'm watching a show on SBS called gourmet farmer. It's this bloke who has pigs and he eats worms...set in cygnet. Do you know that town? They eat worms and feed cherries to pigs lol. What a strange folk.

[flashie*]

My niece and her husband have just bough 50 acres very near there....(she is not strange...............we will revist that after a few years of living there..........)

[just_me_karen]

He's just about to eat worms.,,it's making me retch lol. He's cooking them with garlic and chili. Flashie, seriously, very strange people live there ... Except for your family members lol 😄

[flashie*]

I am not sure how long they will live there............she has already rang her father in a panic because she saw a snake.

But they put those solar snake repel thingie (that is the obvious correct technical term) on their Christmas list.

So we will wait and see.

[just_me_karen]

Flashie I do t think you should visit that town too often, you might catch it 😄 Perhaps your family can come visit you instead.

That's a good idea about no electronics. The taxi driver was telling me how expensive kids are these days, with all their essential electronics. He has six kids, no wonder he was doing a few extra shifts.

I'll go check forum #34267 to see pics 😄

Remember. Cygnet. Do not go 😄

[flashie*]

My niece does not live IN Cygnet...............a place near there though.

[just_me_karen]

Btw it probably wasn't a snake, but one of the residents 😄
