Friday 19th -Wed 24th

Hi all,
Friday night, we drove with Jase & Becc to the Central Markets in Adelaide. These are fabulous markets where one can purchase all sorts of fresh foods and delights from different countries. We had Curry Laksa for a quick dinner before heading across the road to the Metropolitan Hotel to listen to Will's band " Newgate Crowd " perform. They were very good and although quite loud, we enjoyed watching the crowd dancing to the beat. We were very late home!!!
Saturday, we drove to a large shopping centre to purchase Will's 18th birthday gift.
The evening was spent in The Shed with friends of Jase and Beccs.
Most days, we go for a walk through and around Kapunda.
Sunday was very interesting as we watched granddaughter Bonnie play woman's AFL. She's never played before, doesn't really know the rules, and they put her in full forward, full back, and then Ruck. I felt sorry for her, but she's going back this week for another game.
I forgot to mention the footy!!! Yeah, I really couldn't believe what we were witnessing! Amazing, magnificent, Eagles, and so very much deserved. ❤️
Had a lovely Sunday afternoon drive to Clare. The rolling hills and autumn colours were impressive. Had wine tastings in Skillagalee and purchased some Reisling.
Monday, I caught the train from Gawler (30 mins from Kapunda) into Adelaide (50 mins) and had a wonderful day catching up with my bridesmaid of 56 years ago and another dear friend. Special times.
There is not much to report from Tuesday, except John had a reaction to his second shingles jab. Sore arm, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. Didn't last long, but to be expected, according to the doctor.
Drove to Nuriootpa this morning. It's a lovely town in the Barossa Valley. Found a NAB bank( not so easy these days) and picked up a few bits, after lunch in the bakeryBaca lagi
