Day 6 - Thursday 5th January

The Others

Judging by the few photos that have been sent around, I am guessing that you all went nuts in the mountains around Corryong on Wednesday, went the longest possible way to Mansfield on Thursday and reluctantly came home on Friday?

Reflections indeed Richard . . .

Welcome contribution from our roving reporter Mel . . .

Anyone for tennis . . .

Seeing as the aged carer had sent the old people back home for a rest, the remaining youngsters decided to get energetic.  It was Mel who challenged nagged, shamed and goaded them into table tennis.  But not before she allegedly hid all of the good bats, bar one and gave everyone else the crap ones.  Well, Loyd wasn’t around so someone else had to be the boss of the table this time!!!!!

Giggling was their secret weapon!

Is that all you can do?

Who says she isn't competitive . . .

After a quick warm up match Mel vs Mark, Mark decided it was going to be too much hard work chasing misfired shots around the room, first he tried hitting all of the balls waaay up high over her head and out the door, but she kept retrieving them so when that didn’t work and thought he’d team up with her for mixed doubles.

Much partner swapping (Ed - I'm sure she meant it nicely!) – intentional body shots (Phil) and giggling ensued, Tony again rudely awoken from a peaceful snoring and farting session on the couch (that’ll kill the fleas) to face the competition (Ed - a tad too much information for polite company!)

Damned big fleas around here!

 

Snoring farting anti-flea machine - Mel said it not me!

Pretty accurate character assessments (assasinations)? . . .

Phil no mercy, Mark all style, Josie a worthy competitor, Julie what a serve, Richard once again the gentlemen exhibiting the patience of a saint and Roger (frowning) “well OK if I have to”, “what you want me to chase a ball too...nuh”.  Tony thought he heard some remaining flees needed “da  extarminating musheen” – returned to the couch to finish them off.  Who won? What happened after that?  What happens on Mountain Madness...!

Sizing up the competition . . .

Here's a first - Richard legless!

Thanks Mel . . . keep the contributions coming between jumping out of perfectly good planes!  Normal correspondence will now be resumed . . .

Next year's planning . . .

The astute amongst you will have noticed by the maps on the wall that Richard has already started working on MM2013 . . . here are his preliminary 'top secret' plans.  I am sure he will let us all know what the bits in the middle mean sometime later . . .

So we all hop on our bikes here and go that way . . .

. . .  and we will all live happily ever after!
