This morning we continued our hunt for fresh local produce at the Byron Bay Farmers Market. It was a bit disappointing, not as much produce as I expected, we came away with some beautiful tomatoes though.
We bought a soft/foam surfboard ready for Rachel and Zac, who, after having a go on Colin's board in recent times want to give surfing a go. It is a good board to learn on.
We answered the call of our schoolies girls and took them to and from the supermarket again (their rented house is a long, long walk from the supermarket!)
We ambled slowly (calf muscle improving but still impeding normal activity) along the beach at Byron while Colin explained to me yet again why the waves are so perfect here.
We revisited the best icecream place I have ever been to - Yes Johanna, the sticky date and ferrer rocher icecream are better than I remembered. Though I must tell you we need to give Dad lessons in how to eat an icecream. The first mistake he made was to order gelati and icecream in the same cone, of course the gelati melts quicker than the icecream and because he specifically requested that the gelati be on the bottom it slowly melted wreaking havoc with the icecream sitting on top of it. I did suggest perhaps he should lick the gelati around the bottom to stop it dripping down the side. He did try, but it dripped anyway, making a mess of the cone, dripping all over his hands and onto the footpath. On top of all that he managed to get it all around his mouth as well. I did consider going to sit somewhere else but I thought that might be a bit mean. He completely used up his serviette trying to clean himself up and I had to give him mine as well, plus he had to wash his hands back at the car with water from the drink bottle. I am sure you can give him some pointers when you come up!
Eating icecream non-messily may not be his forte but his meals more than make up for it.
Bacon, asparagus and poached egg for breakfast and an attempt to re-create a beautiful meal we had at an Italian restaurant (fettucine with a mushroom, bacon, white wine and cream sauce.
