YOO HOO WHERE ARE YOU?

Well, hasn’t this been a real lull in reporting the proceedings! The hot weather has come and gone, but nevertheless, Quirky and I, being committed and stalwart, have been trekking our laps around the Yarra. Pardon me this encomium, but Quirky and I have walked many kilometres enjoying the serenity and gentle breezes with nary a recherche conversation from our missing friend to distract us. Where is he you ask? Our oenophilic food critic has been taking it easy so to speak, nursing a gammy (not gouty you idiot) foot. Peel me another grape he says, I have to rest – I can only walk as far as lunch. Well Peskius Maximus (in more ways than one) – get well quickly for the next set of adventures.

MORSELS

Whilst Pesky has been ruminating on the memories of tasty morsels which have passed through his lips, Quirky and I have expended actual energy in keeping the club flag flying with our walks along the Yarra. We are not distracted by the recipes for double cooked pork belly. Give us a salad roll from Kenny’s any day.

Man’s best friend

It’s glorious weather in wonderful Sydney, and the FCWC are making the most of it. Another stroll around the bay this morning saw Pesky take off and make as much distance between himself and Quirky who was walking Tom. Pesky is very sensitive about his olfactory senses, particularly when they collide with doggy doos. Of course, Tom is far more accommodating and doesn’t mind Pesky at all.

Yesterday, being the intrepid explorers we are, and armed with the GPS, we did battle with the Sydney traffic. Quirky was a fearless driver, emboldened by the guidance of the goddess of the road, whose utterances were repeated like prayers by the bedazzled Pesky, who became an immediate convert to this new cult. Quirky wavered only once when he realized that he was being sent to drive on the Anzac Bridge through the city centre, but he came through this ordeal with flying colours.
