The Endless Ergon Wait

Ergon upgrades - are they worth it? Read on and you will find the truth behind the title. We were the second car at the stop sign, surely less than a 5 minute wait - easy.  An Ergon man came up to the car in front of us and another Ergon man came up to us and said, "There are power lines on the road, expect a bit of a wait." Fine, another 5 minutes pass.  O.K.  5 minutes later 17 cars behind us. Hurry up, just turn the sign.  Not long after I got this photo out of the back of our car, the car behind us turned around (exasperated, had enough?!).  There were so many cars that we could not see the end of the line. There are only sixteen cars in this photo, but there were many more than that behind us.  


 We were waiting  and waiting,
 Flip your sign stop go man! 
We waited 30 minutes, 35 seconds and 3 milliseconds.  My brother carries a stop watch on him and times anything.  We have the accurate time, trust me.
Finally guess what? 
   
Slow and we went GO!! When Mr Stop-Go turned the sign there were 28 cars that we could see behind us and 6 cars had already turned around and gone back to town. I don't blame them.  Next time we go into town I think I'll convince mum to leave a hour early.  BEx

holidays

I have just been on a family holiday to the beach.  Here are a few of the pictures that I took while away.
Here is a train of siblings and cousins been pulled around the pool.  All carriages joined by one form or another.
                                          
And here's a scramble for the mat!!
Baby Adorable playing in  a sand tractor on the beach.  I made a full lenth keyboard/piano out of sand but didn't get a photo of it.
Here is me with Baby Adorabe and his cousin, only four days older than him.  They were sooo cute, it was just like having twins. BEx

Chickens

Hey guess what?  We have just had chickens.  Here is a picture of Mr Adorable with his chicken.  He is holding it by himself too.  Baby Adorable also got to pat his chicken, and made sure all of this siblings knew about 'chick chick'.
