There are compensations to all the travelling on occassions. We were treated to a rather spectacular sunset as we waited for the boat yesterday. The sea had that cold turquoise hue & it was decidedly nippy as we strolled round the shoreline from the car park.
I had my hands full having detoured on our way into Coorparoo to acquire vegetable seedlings ~ a little venture that made us a tad late & not helped as we zoomed onto the school premises to find the construction work was still in effect & there was no seeable parking! Don't you hate that?!
We have a lovely pitch. OK it's full of bindies & green ants but the view is totally worth a couple of hours of cricket. Big Ficus edge the grass for some lovely shadey spots & the pitch overlooks the channel between us & the mainland. Wouldn't be the first time [nor the last] a stray pod of dolphins has generated more excitement than the game itself. Compensations! ☺

I would prefer the pod of dolphins over a game of cricket any day! lol
The sunset photo is spectacular!
Well, I love cricket but dophins are great, too!
They sometimes are spied right here in town even though Rocky is quite a way inland, as the Fitzroy is tidal. I have not seen this but it is well documented!
That sounds like a nice day. Hope every one at your place is getting the R & R they need.
I love that sunset photo. So beautiful. You have *bindies* in your cricket pitch? In my world those are pretty little jewelled decorations that Indian ladies wear on their foreheads! :0\ I suspect this is not what you had in mind...
Amanda: Cricket's not my thing but I'm fond of my lad & he did well & was chuffed to have the family there. ☺
Ruby: It was lovely. We badly needed some down time & today is wet & mizzling again [remember *mizzling* is a real word! ☺]
Ember: Bindies are nastly little burrs & believe me you know all about it if you step on one! They are hard to eradicate & a lawn with them necessiates shoes at all times.
