Yep met "Dazren". Daryl and his lovely wife Renata came and picked me up and gave me the guided tour of the Ballarine Peninsula including their old and new home, seeing their old one I now know why they moved it is much easier getting around the new one without having to climb a mountain every time they put the bins out. I will PM you bigw (wombat) his new address so you can dig some holes in his back yard mate.
Really, Daryl and Renata a great people we stopped at Queenscliff for lunch and boy was that nice, we all ordered a shrimp sanga, expecting a sanga with shrimp surprisingly but to our surprise when they arrived at the table here sat a big plate with two lovely pieces of sour dough toast piled high with shrimps, bacon and lettuce X 3, yum. As we got up to leave I got my wallet out to pay my share and was told it's all paid, and Daryl said he was going to the little boys room, mmmm. Thankyou both. I will have to go back tomorrow as I have left my glasses sitting on the table, I just hope they were handed in. Just as well I have another pair with me.
The tour wasn't finished yet and we continued around the coast line back to my temporary home for now. I had a great day being chauffered around yet again, I could get used to that very easy.
Thankyou again Daryl and Renata.

Leevin, shrimp is a very small prawn, very small in fact.
KR, it was Dazren I was with you know, so a lot of Cr***! was spoken, no really, a very sensible conversation was had by all, well Dazren and Mrs Dazren anyway.

Geez Dougwe, I just said that I was a ''Legend in my own mind'' How did you get ''Famous'' out of that statement ????
Doug, it was a pleasure to meet you as well, Renata and I enjoyed the afternoon, showing you around and as you say that was a wonderful lunch we had Nice warm weather, Lovely setting right on the waters edge and the boat harbour, and having a great conversation on a wide range of subjects, and the time just flew, as the conversation just flowed like we had met many times before, It was a pleasure to buy you lunch, sorry i ''sneaked'' of to pay but i knew you would insist if i waited for the bill to arrive,
Anyway i looked after you ever since you arrived on the Bellarine ??? I arranged that Lovely Sunset for you last night ?? and I also followed through with that Fantastic Sunrise this morning, and what about your concern with the Tempreture going to be 37 Deg. so I arranged that cool change for you in the afternoon, ,
However !!! Whats this bit about you going to Email ;;Wombat ;; My address so that he can come down and dig 'wombat holes''Do you think that is a good idea ??? at the moment he is Thousands of miles away !!! do you really want him to be so close to us in our home state ????? wombats would prefer to live in your neck of the woods, Rather than mine ?? so think carefully about sending him that Email,
Once again Mate, it was an Absolute pleasure meeting you, and we enjoyed the day, and we are certain our paths will cross again in the near future Till then you stay Safe, Healthy, and Happy out there in YOUR playground

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No Cr**p was spoken KR, except when we first sat down, and Doug and I discussed ''Wombats'' Good Points'' and that conversation only lasted about 17 seconds ?? before we ran out of things to say [ that should get him to bite ? ]
Dougwe did rave on a bit about your famous Pavlova's, I feel like i have missed out on one of lifes wonders [ maybe oneday ?? ] and he was also very impressed with Kiwis Beef Stew, he said everyone really liked it ?? But Kiwi's accent had him worried for a while ?? as most people were taking 4 or five spoonfuls, When Kiwi asked doug if he wanted five or sex. he was not sure how to answer ??
Keep enjoying your travels ''Kiwi's'' Maybe our path will cross in the future as well, ?? [ But not in March as I will be In N.Z. ] -

What a feel-good story, lots of good in our world.

I agree countryroad, I have met all good people only and seen only good things and places since I came out to play in the playground. In a lot of places and cases I didn't even hear about the bad things in the world. Unfortunately the playtime bell is about to ring and I must return home for reasons mentioned else where in this forum.

Never mind Doug. There will be another bell ring that says you can go out into the playground again.
