Last night was the night that we headed out to the Comedy Festival to see the kids’ shows. Jenna and Evan27 (or, as his stage name calls him – ‘Conk’) have such different styles of comedy. It was a terrific introduction for Sophie, Tom32’s girlfriend, to their shows. Let’s face it – if she’s going to be part of this family, she’s going to be seeing a lot of live comedy as the years go by!
It was a lovely night. Jenna’s parents were over from Adelaide so we all met up at Fed Square for dinner, then it was two shows in the one night. It was definitely full of laughter, music and song.
I may be going on another trip this year… but this is because Liga from Latvia (remember her from Antarctica?) might be coming over in November. If she does, it’ll be a drive to Healesville Santuary, a drive down the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide, then a drive up to Uluru.
Then I’ll drop them off there, (she’ll be travelling with another woman called Liga), and I’ll make the long drive home while they see the desert, then fly to Cairns to see the Great Barrier Reef. They’ll be landing in Sydney, so of course they’ll see the Opera House and Bridge. They have around 3 weeks, so with a bit of luck they’ll be able to see a lot.
Anyway, that’s the plan at the moment. She also wants to swim with sharks – and if she does that I’ll have to go with her. It’s only polite. We might not be able to fit it in, though. Who knew Port Lincoln was a 9 hour drive from Adelaide???
As Liga said, “! still have to get my head around the distances in Australia. It’s different from Latvia, where a 4 hour drive gets you to the border!”
Dad joke of the day:
Dancing With Frogs 
I feel the same way in crime shows when they have the crook caught and I see there are twenty minutes left in the episode.
