A perfect night for a run at a perfect location – the banks of the Swan River at the Riverside Gardens site in Bayswater. There were 25 of us – 22 members, 3 visitors plus 3 dogs. A small pack of runners took off in 1 direction – to be reported separately – and the remainder of walkers in the other direction and a pleasant walk around the ovals and pathways.
At the circle, the On Sec had down downs for the 3 visitors, Stateless and Putrid from Borneo and Spert (yes, I know I have spelt it wrongly). Skid was up as a returnee and Crayfish was awarded the Wilson Parking Award – a first time winner and joins the elite group of Jimmy Ramrod, Topgun and Antman. He followed up with a story about a derelict Glaswegian, arthritis and the Pope.
Dickie as RA entertained us by calling up Stateless and Pig Trap – evidently Stateless was quite bemused by Pig Trap’s black suppression stockings, Colonel for bringing along his wife Maraluku to sell aboriginal art and Dickie then explained to us his meaning of life with a ruler marked in decades and entering the black zone – all very profound. He did the critique of the run – an enjoyable 35 minute walk through the pathways and around the oval with no hills or sand encountered – I personally though it could have been a bit longer. The run critique was given by APITW and the run was awarded a 9.5.
The circle was followed by meal served from one of the biggest saucepans ever – a dish comprised of vegetables, a boiled potato and pieces of meat. I would call it some sort of stew but I am sure Moses has a special name for it – needless to say it was delicious.
It was top night and our thanks to the hares and to Xmas and Chunda for attending to wagon duties.
As we departed we could hear the sounds coming from Optus Stadium – none other than the AC/DC concert quite a few miles away.
