We had a brilliant time while staying in the area for a few days: catching up, listening to music, comparing cooking notes, eating, drinking, being silly, talking philosophy, you name it. We also had dinner at an Indian restaurant, and spent an afternoon at Dad's friend Rosie's home (more Indian food) and Jase and I even cooked for Dad and Rosie one night (you guessed it, Indian!).
One day Dad drove us to see Natural Bridge; a beautiful waterhole which has been eroded with time and created a "bridge". The surrounding forest is alive with birds, insects, and depsite being a little dry, is brimming with palms, staghorn ferns, birds nest ferns, vines, figs and (Norfolk?) pines while the ground is littered with composting material, smaller ferns, decaying fallen trees, and fungus. This was really enjoyable to do with Dadio.
What fun. And at the end of it all, I realise that Dad and I are not so different, and he is happy that we have so much in common. While we don't agree on everything, (maybe 85%?), at least we're passionate about the things we do agree on.
I love you Dadio xxxx
Sweet as :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time :-) I forgot how much stuff Mal had at his place!! Or has he just added a whole heap more? Certainly has more 'indian' vibes than last time..

85% mmmmm At least 86%! haha
ReplyDeleteI had a fabulous time with my darling daughter of whom I am so very proud. Took me a couple of days to recuperate after all the partying and fun, but was worth every second.
It makes a Dad feel so good seeing you and Jase living your dreams and being so happy together and so much in love
