My Holiday

Well, i have not blogged in ages, mainly because i've been with my family to visit rellies in Parkes. We got back on Fridaay, though, i've just been really lazy. It was quite a week. After the 4-5 hour trip, (i can't remember), we mainly hung out with them, and not doing a whole lot. In Parkes itself there wasn't too much going on, but they do have this whopping great radio telescope, which has even had a movie made about it. Beat that. Apart from that, there wasn't a whole lot around, apart from the releatively recent Big W with its speacial experimental layout, and what i am sure is one of the last Pizza Hut buffets in Australia. The rest of the time we spent just hanging out with family, and watching movies. As i remember, me and my uber-cool cousin and i watched Ace Ventura, Dodge ball, Napoleon Dynamite and SWAT, all fun movies. We also went to Western Plains Zoo in (kinda) nearby Dubbo. Actualy, it was more like an hour or two to get there. One thing you notice on these country roads is the huge amount of road-kill lying around. Anyway, the zoo was pretty cool, except it is MASSIVE, and is was extortionately hot, so it was hard going. that was about as far as it got in terms of physical exhaustion. speaking of which, today we started a kids holiday thing at our church. I can't really be bothered blogging a whole different event right now, i'll probably do that Friday arvo, which is the last day of the thing. Anywho....

A bientot!

(PS photos soonish)

the dish - it's in my top 2 all -time movies!! it's gold!

pizza - i used to love the all you can eat pizza hut... when i was 11 it cost like $1.95 for under 12s. but i ate almost as much as the rest of my family all combined (5 of them all over 12) - pretty good vlue

road-kill - on our trip to canberra we saw heaps... kangas, wallas, and even a couple of wombis.

look forward to hearing how the kids thing at your church goes.
