Back to Bunna / Some like it hot.

The Weily Fox invited me up for a big Tuesday in Triabunna:  Suzie's birthday, visit my car, Remembrance Day, lunch at The Village, see Jilly at Georgia's, dinner at the East Coaster and then Mama Mia at the Triabunna Tivoli.

We started with a swim on Spring Beach at 6.30am.  The Weily one had already been for an hour's walk.

bathers for every day of the week

and some stunning apres swim gear

Next was the Remembrance Day Service

good singers and good friends - Maria Voices

then a visit to my car, now at the bodyworks.  There's hope it can be repaired if the parts can be found.

Lunch at the Village was next, and I crawled from there up the road to have afternoon tea with Georgia.

Jill, Miya and Bilbo Baggins being very good

The Foxy One picked me up,

we drove home through a hailstorm and then bedecked ourselves for the evening and had espresso martinis and chips for dinner at the East Coaster.  Then off to the Triabunna Tivoli.

Contrary to appearances it was not a drag show but Mama Mia, with a best-dressed prize.  Not being much of an ABBA fan, and never liking their clothing choices, I didn't participate.  But it was a fabulous night with dancing, singing, and the movie too of course.  It was also a tribute to David and Gavan who started the Orford Odeon and mentored the Triabunna Tivoli.  Sadly they died this year within a few months of each other.  A truly inspiring couple.

Not getting to Suzie's house earlier, we dropped her birthday card into her letter-box by moonlight.

The next morning was set aside for The Big Event.

The Big Truck pulled into the driveway right on schedule.

Sadly the sauna man had based his delivery plan on google maps, not realising that the Fox, though Weily, had failed to inform Mr Google that she had planted a nature strip garden which precluded the truck being easily reversed into the backyard.

A lot of resting and thinking.  Eventually it was agreed that a Big Crane was needed for the job.  Since this had to come from Hobart, Foxy and I went for a swim.

The Big Crane arrived

 and swung into action,

scaring the bejeezus out of us

as the wind rose.

The driver lowered the sauna 'blind' as I ran back and forth relaying the instructions yelled by the exhausted sauna man.

Right in place.  I congratulated the Big Crane driver on his skill,

" bin doin' it since I was eleven" he replied.

Naturally, The Fox is very happy with her Hobbit sauna and couldn't wait to get it cranked up.

I'm not a sauna fan so, as arranged, went to Georgia

who drove Jilly Pup and me home to Bellerive with a bunch of flowers from the Weily One's garden.
