Roller Derby

Spent my Saturday afternoon at the Showgrounds

watching Roller Derby in Wayville Pavillion

The first round was two new Adelaide teams

They could play...

But they couldn't perform like the Adeladies and Sun State girls did in the second match!

Team Zebra also put on their finest...

I mean who doesn't love some man thigh in tight short shorts?!

Sun State Roller Girls had such a strong defence,

It was always going to be a tough one for the Adeladies

But the second half saw the girls make up for some of the points they lost in the first

And as you want to see at the derby...

Plenty of elbows were thrown!

Adeladies lost by  more than 100 points

But they sure put on a show

Adelaide Farmers Market

I am a market FIEND

 Now do not get me wrong, I love the Central Markets

I am yet to post on them

But I grew up shopping at the Willunga Farmers Market

And now it is in the city on a Sunday Morning.

You know where to find me.

So much fresh fruit and veg

Apples in countless varieties...

including my favourite Sundowners

Native flowers

Local cheeses, milk and yogurt.

Cured meats, dried fruits and freshly baked pies.

This place is my food utopia!

It's Show Time!

I got the impression from people that I am too old (or not old enough) to go to the show

Obviously I wasn't there for the rides and show bags.

But I do love the baking displays...

I dream of entering something, someday.

(I'm pretty much a CWA lady in disguise.)

And the animal displays...

In good timing, 

the rains came in just after I had just finished wandering the halls.

Not too BAdelaide? 

Actually the show is bloody great! 

Early Days

Today I caught up with my brother for lunch in Glenelg.

Something about the carousel just reminds me of being a kid. I thought I was a princess when I rode that thing!

The carousel is pretty much the only original thing left from Magic Mountain; which was basically the best place to be as an Adelaide kid in the 90's

Anyways, my first few days in Adelaide have been shit boring.

Just looking for a job etc.

But today was all blue sky and lots of laughs.

So, not too bAdelaide
