We walked Bluey to Gingers for breakfast. Anita went to the butcher while I waited with Blue, who sat fixedly looking in the direction Anita had gone. On the way back to our van we walked past a seat and Bluey jumped up on it and sat down – no idea why.
Bluey, Leo and Kia had a limited play on the main arena. I can let Blue off his lead but Leo is still a puppy.
Tilly jumped more than a metre up into the flower bed. These large bins would normally be used as skip bins for transporting rubbish, but they are filled with soil to grow small trees and flowers. They also separate sites and can be used to tie down awnings. I took her for a walk around the empty stables. She keeps close to walls for protection.
We caught the tram into town to have lunch at Lucia’s at the Adelaide Central Markets. Other treats came home with us – cheesecake, panacotta, baklava, cheese and fruit.
The main reason we are staying in Adelaide was the first of many Beccy Cole shows celebrating her 50th birthday. More than a dozen Roadies were staying at the Adelaide Showgrounds, and more turned up at the show at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. Thanks to Beccy we all had advance notice of the show which sold out in 8 minutes. She is doing another show at the Wheaty next week.
Beccy had her mum Carole Sturtzel up on stage, and her son Ricky Albeck. The Hussy Hicks flew across to Adelaide, but their flight was delayed and they arrived late. Ricky asked Jules Parker to join him playing guitar and singing, and she was fantastic despite just having arrived at the Wheaty, and playing someone else’s guitar!
It was a fabulous evening and Beccy announced she will be doing fortnightly shows at the Wheaty – almost a reason to move to Adelaide!
