A Free Lunch
On Thursday afternoon we met Nathaniel and Alese at Central Station, Simon and Brenda had to speak at a conference in Sydney so we were baby sitting for the weekend.
On Saturday we drove around King's Way to see Mark Val and Caleb, just a few minutes in the car. We decided to walk down into South Melbourne. We set off down Bank Street and had only gone 100 metres or so when we came upon a long row of Mini Coopers. We learned that the car yard was doing a promotion and if we stopped there was a free lunch. There was games for the kids and food for me, what more could we ask
Nathaniel won a DVD player for finding fluffy Dice under the front wheel of the rows of BMWs. I was still looking for fluffy ducks! When Nathaniel came screaming out from the cars saying "I have found the fluffy dice. They had a winner
Then it was Mark's turn, he blitzed the field of people carrying balls between their upper legs and depositing them in a receptacle and won an I Pod, which he passed on to his son Caleb. He didn't go so well himself as he was wearing those pants the young fellas wear with the crotches of the pants being somewhere between his knees and his ankles. He went of and had a little dream about owning a Mini Cooper, see photo.
After a couple of hours of this we all returned back to Mark and Val's place, just back down the street with tummies full of food and our arms full of prizes and give aways. Now that's what I call serendipity, and we still had our money safely in our pockets
We returned home Saturday night in time to watch "The Bill" and I was able to catch up on some sleep before preaching at the Vineyard this morning (Sunday).
I spent Sunday avo feeling emotionally drained, must be the water.

Wee I didn't get home from church until 1.00pm and then had to do two taxi runs for teenagers who live here sometimes - I then had topick Jo up again for our afternoon service starting at 2.00pm - so I had no lunch at all until about 4.00pm.
Some people get all the breaks.
