Sunday 6th

Went down to see Tom and Susan in Woollongong today, and on the hope of getting a taste  of real square lorne sausage, we went along to the local Tartan Day! It was a small low-key gathering of presumably Scottish immigrants and their family trees, and sported a decent pipe band, a piping of the haggis ceremony and of course, a square sausage, haggis and black pudding fast food stand! So that was lunch sorted. 

Holly had great fun dancing a jig around in circles with me to the sound of the pipes playing!

To cap it all, for a laugh I entered the caber tossing contest, and in the second round I somehow managed to be the only one who flipped it over.

I ended up winning the competition and to our surprise, I was called up to get presented with a couple hundred dollars worth of tools from Bunnings (the Aussie equivalent of B&Q!). Got my photo taken and everything, so maybe I'll be in the "Tartan Gazette" or something local! Just shows you what beginners luck can do!
