A Day at the Bowls

Today, we're at the Erskineville Lawn Bowling Club with Peggy's cricket club. The coversation at hand has been varied: tastes that should never go together in consumer food items (abalone and macademia nuts), to the presence of religion in the U.S. and the rise of the Mega Church. Our bowling team seems to be struggling a bit, having lost each of the bowls we've played. Lawn bowling is quite fun, but its hard to stay intense about it given the slow pace of the game. After about 40 minutes, we were pretty much dunzo.

This just in - hilarity has ensued! The skies just opened up and about sixty people got drenched in the down pout. Not a light rain at all, but a huge shower all of the sudden, catching all by surprise. This photo is everyone running for cover. We were lucky to have been under shelter at the time. The weather has been dramatically mixed this past week, scorching hot the one minute with thundershowers the next. We're clearly in between seasons now, with summer exiting and fall creeping its way in. The water has gotten cooler and the waves somewhat larger.

Tonight is going to be a night in, likely, we're pretty tuckered after a morning of first baseball, then a brunch, then lawn bowling. A good Saturday, chock full of Aussie activity.
