8 April - An Easter Feast

The long awaited day arrived when the Easter Kangaroo dropped off a few eggs at Murgon (again) and the kids were ready and waiting to go searching soon as they had eaten their breakfasts and allowed out of the house. Anyway, they were both thrilled with what they found and stuffed their faces soon after. Yums, this is what Easter is all about. Interestingly Lachie call it the “Uder kangaroo” and “Uder Eggs” so not sure what is going on there.

After an early trip to the markets in Murgon with Christine and Rosalind, Christine and myself planted some bushes in her garden while Nick helped Rod with a few odds and ends.

Ian and Rosalind left, and Christine rolled out the Easter Feast. We started with prawns and Oysters and a wonderful salad, with some lovely local Verdolho on the side, and went on to a full lamb rack roast feast. I haven’t eaten so much in a long time – Christine, you have spoilt us rotten.

The kids said farewell to the frogs. She got a major shock when she tried to pick up a rather large green frog and it squirted something at her – wee and poo apparently. She now says “frogs are DISGUSTING, I will never touch one again”. Within half an house this had changed to “frogs are DISGUSTING, I will never pick up a large fat green one again”. Hmm…..
