KEEPING UP WITH THE GREEN MACHINE.

 I took Bill for a scoot on one of the routes that my morning walk buddies take. It was hard keeping up with him until he realised and slowed down. 

We passed the magnolia tree in the village gardens.

Off we go through Priest Gully. Can you see him disappearing down the track on the right?

However, he wasn't sure of the way so he had to slow down and wait for me when he came to an intersection of paths.

After 2k we turned around and headed home. 

When we reached our road I said okay you can speed off and make me a cup of tea when you get home.

Off he goes down the footpath/sidewalk towards home.

Turning into the village complex. He loves his green machine. (I was exhausted from trying to keep up)

SWITZERLAND'S NATIONAL DAY IS ON AUGUST 1

Switzerland is 735 years old (Traditional Founding – 1291): Switzerland traces its origins back to the beginning of August 1291, when the three cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden signed the Federal Charter (Bundesbrief) to pledge mutual defence. This alliance forms the basis for Swiss National Day (celebrated annually on August 1st).

Our daughter, Sonya, invited us to celebrate Swiss National Day at her home. So we dressed in Swiss jackets and shirts and with a bottle of Kirsch we set off for the northern suburbs of Brisbane.

 Our SIL, Bernie cooked us a traditional Swiss Cheese Fondu, where you dip a piece of bread on a long fork into melted cheese and then pop it in your mouth.

Bernie likes to add other foods to dip, like roasted potato and blanched broccoli. He also provided chunks of apple and pear,

Grandson Fox joined us but Banjo had been invited to a friends house. He was a little disappointed to be missing out on Fondu.
