Kings Plains Castle

Friday 13th January 2006 (Black Friday - Castle Day)

Last night it poured. And poured. We stayed relatively dry, but neither of us slept much. i was a big crabby poo all morning till we went gem fossicking again. this stuff is seriously addictive. we also went to a winery (which we found while looking for balancing rock to complete Tim's challenge - hope we got it right tim) and bought lots of organic wine for practically nothing. we're now at the celtic standing stones in Glen Innes. I'm not sure why anyone thought it was a good idea to recreate stonehenge in Glen Innes of all places, but apparently someone did. there's a funnly little (hugely expensive) celtic shop. interestingl, the celtic shop sells iced chai. as soon as we've had our soffees we're heading to the castle - the idea of a warm shower is spurring me on. we've decided we're not going to deny ourselves anything this evening, just thoroughle enjoy every moment of decadence. mmm, decadence.

Thought for the moment:
* There are few things more irritating (on a "this SO doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things" frame of reference) than really wnting a coffee, and really looking forward to it, and waiting a REALLY long time, and it comes out, and it looks great, and you take a sip, and it's BURNT.

Dammit.
