Straya Day 2017 at The Ludicks

Aaaah, a mid-week break was good, if not a tad warm. Driving to Andre and Sonja's place yesterday the car showed 41-42 degrees outside. Still, it was Perth's typical dry heat, so tolerable (and we had beer, and ice...)

We all had a good day with the usual fun-and-games. We also now know that as a group we are excellent at Movie-Charades, haha! I think the longest it took us for a correct guess was 30 seconds.

Beat nearly destroyed ye' ol' trusty Ricoh GR yesterday with a good dose of water while he was cooling everyone down; bad spanner ;-)

Karla flashing her newly restored Colgate smile. Beautiful! X

The three lads with Candy sneaking in more kisses :-)

Sonia (or should I say Rachel) flicking her new, red locks for the camera.

Rooikop Oom Kallie...


Here we go...Kallie & Usain Straya Bann

The ladies with Mr. Super Bann ;-)


Beat and Sanchia cooling each other down. Bit over-exposed, sorry.

It was that warm that Ryan was pouring water down everyone's backs. Good boy!

Geno-Bumbino with mum, and MC on his way over.

The boys eating icy-poles and watching the adults play charades.

Karla having a go, and doing well.

Yep, we braai'd, or should I say BBQ'd (gas, you see). But, it was a Weber, so all was good ;-)

Mmmmm, poeding! 10/10 geweest, dodelijk :-)

Sonia also spoilt us with real-coffees from the van. Dankie Sonie!!

Straylia Day 2015

We celebrated Australia Day a little early (Saturday), mainly to use the cooler weather before the high 30'ies hit, which turned out was a good move. Sam Kekovich would be proud, as lamb was on the menu, and it was superb. Thanks Petie and Mariana!
 
Our mates up North also had a braai, but were bad-spanners cooking beef kebabs and boerewors, haha!

What more could a man want?!
 
Just waiting to say grace before they tucked in. MC was a big boy, saying the prayer ;-)
 
Malva Pudding.....yes, it was GOOOOOD! (I think?)
 
 
 
Some sort of negotiation underway for toys, or games or movies or something, haha!
 
Nightcap. Thanks Jakkals!
