We had an adventure on the train to Warrnambool.It was Good Friday and we headed off on the train all the way from Eltham. Into the city and then three hours on the v-line train.
The weather was amazing. Apparently the best Easter weather for five years.
I also had a revelation that joey and I were born there and I didn't realise it was
THE BEACH..... There were lots of swimmers and surfers and surf ski's .
The water was clear and we did brave a quick dive into the waves for a swim.
... We walked everywhere as we had no car. We walked along the boardwalk for miles in each direction. We came to the whale viewing area but I think it was too warm for the whales yet.

We also had a well travelled bowl of hot cross bun dough that came all the way with us.
When we got to the house, Sue put it into a bowl in the sink with some warm water. and we headed off for a long walk.When we got back the dough had swelled over the top of the bowl and spread into the warm water.Which made a large gooey mass of hot cross blob.We gave it some sort of a drain and then cooked the lump anyway.
So we had hot cross loaf all Easter..ha
Then we also had a few nights of learning to play mahjong...It was a great game but I feel there were lots of fine skills and scoring we had not mastered.But the winds were beginning to blow well for us.
