This month’s recipe

your average date slice. Served by

Meeting, (from a recipe she got
from Glenys), it is quite delicious. Readily obtainable
ingredients, straight forward and no baking.
It is awaiting you on the “This Month’s Recipe” page
on the website.
You gotta Hand it to the Irish
The AFL Grand Final
Alan had two tickets for the A.F.L. Grand Final. As he
sits down, another man comes along and asks if
anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
"No", he says, "the seat is empty."
"That is incredible!" said the man, "who in their right
mind would have a seat like this for the Grand Final,
the biggest sporting event of the Aussie football year,
and not use it?"
He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My
wife Wendy was supposed to come with me, but she
passed away. This is the first Grand Final we haven't
been to together since we got married."
"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. I guess you
couldn't find someone else, a friend or relative or even
a neighbour to take the seat?"
The man shakes his head...
....."No. They're all at the funeral."
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat
because he had an important meeting and couldn’t
find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he
said, “Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a
parking place, I will go to Mass every Sunday for
the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!”
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said,
“Never mind Lord, I found one.”
BIGPOND Customers please read
Bigpond is again up to it’s old tricks, rejecting emails
with a link to a website included. This ham-fisted
approach to spam control also prevents delivery of
legitimate emails containing a link, like some of ours.
It doesn’t always happen, so what I plan to do is first
send your emails along with the others. If all the
Bigpond ones bounce I will send them to you again,
this time with a photo of the link. That Photo will not
work as a link. You will need to carefully type it into
your internet browser’s address bar. I know this is a
pain, but this is the only reliable way to short circuit
Bigpond’s block. I strongly suggest, once you get to
the web page you bookmark it. That way you can
access it without needing the photo in future. If you
need help with this please let me know.

Bush Walking Group
The June walk was enjoyed by ten of us and
was quite spectacular. We walked from
Monkey Rock car park down the Bibbulmun
Track to Lights Beach. See the photo on page
2. For more pictures go to the Photos page on
the website.
The next walk will be on 1st July. We are starting in
Crowea Rd at 10 am, along a bush track to Poison
Point. Then to the inlet end of Campbell Rd and along
the Bibbulmun past The Cove and old caravan park.
A coffee then return. Great inlet views, only a grade 1
to 2 walk, should be as successful as the last one.
