Back to Daylesford

It's Sunday, Sunday, having a day off on Sunda-ay.
For an authentic Sunday feeling, have a nice Sunday style version of an AC/DC classic courtesy of The Union...

The best thing about working all day every day for the last six days is the seventh day in which your one true god, me, rests.

As part of my day of rest I went back to Daylesford market with Simon and Atti, bought some socks, some apples, a cheap Chinese Swiss Army Knife (A Chiwiss Army Knife?) some home made piccalilli and some honey. Good-o.
I really wanted to buy this, but I don't think I'm worthy  of owning it.
After that I got some various crap from Coles for work lunches next week (Matt, one of the guys at work, has gone back to uni now so next week will feature the other three of us doing an extra 33.333333% work to make up for it)

After Coles we grabbed some fish and chips and drank naturally carbonated spring water from a pump! Amazing! Just check out those figures...
I have no idea if this is good or bad?
And that was it. Have some more poor quality pictures of Lake Daylesford as I do nothing for the rest of the day.



You might as well have a couple of pictures from my route to/from work too, seeing as you're here.
Yep, it's another sunrise.
Yep, that's another picture of me (in cool silhouette mode).
And yep, that's your Mum!

A Grand Daylesford Out

Today I wore my Star Wars T-Shirt and went with Simon and Atty to Daylesford, which is famous for having springs and spas and such...
...See
See, it's a market.

We first went to the market, which was a market. You know what markets are so I'll skip most of the details, but it did take place near an old railway station that was still (sort of) operational.
It has a tourist train that runs on Sundays, that means it is operational.
There was an odd moment when a woman behind a stall asked 'The question is, 'have you seen Starship Troopers?'' to which I replied 'Yes?', to which she responded, 'It's a great film' to which I agreed, 'I know'.
Although I would say it's a little far fetched, I mean, Denise Richards being an actress? That's absurd!
Cool name.
After walking around in the hot sun, Simon bought stuff and I bought none. Atty got some dirt cheap books and we went off to grab some lunch before heading to the lake to eat it. (I had trout and chips, good stuff)

Of course eating fish and chips by a lake does come with problems, namely,

these three.
And this guy looks like he lost a fight with a red candle.
Nothing a little 'move your foot towards them to keep them at bay' couldn't handle. 

Afterwards Simon wanted to look in a bookshop and I decided to have a gander around the lake.
Gander... see, because of all the geese!



A ginger beer from the region
After a ginger beer from the region we went back to Poverty Peak and I updated my blog and that's about it really. I'll look for a job tomorrow, probably.
