This weekend we went lawn bowling on Saturday night at the local club a block away. There were some familiar faces and some new ones. Since it's autumn, it has been getting quite chilly at night, but they had the tall gas heaters to keep us warm.
We went bike riding in Centennial Park again. Here are some of the birds we now see there pretty regularly:
Sulfur Crested Cockatoo
Australian Pelican
(Ronny feeding) Long-Billed Corellas
Rainbow Lorikeet
Purple Swamphen
We also found a colony of easily over a thousand flying foxes (their bodies are about the size of a small cat or dog). Imagine a grove of over 100 trees that all look like this:
It's kind of scary but also kind of cool.
Special appearance by the letter G, for gelato. After our ride, we made a stop at our favorite gelato place, Messina , which I have mentioned before. This time I tried one of their specials, A Greek Tragedy , which consists of "wild flower honey gelato smashed with honey soaked loukoumades and candied walnuts". Michael had another one of their specials, Really Salty Nuts , which consists of "peanut butter and caramel gelato with salted caramel swirls and caramel shortbread". I already liked the gelato, but I think now I'm always going to have to try something off the special menu because both were really really good, and they were only $4 each which is pretty good for around here.
All in all, it was a B-eautiful weekend.
