21 turned up at Half a Boat’s Shed. 6.05pm and the pressure was on to start the run.
Out the gate and which way asks Half a Boat, we don’t bloody know! Now there were probably 3 ways but I can only account for 1 of these. Making it up to Slade Point Road and some dwindled down Slade Point Road, some dwindled across Slade Point Road (this was me) along with Wheelie and Top Knot, Streaker, Marilyn, Smut, Tarboy and whingeing Faye!
Let’s go up to the The Kommo Toera Trail – it’s a short walking track allowing you to meander under the towering Melaleuca trees to observe a distinctly unique wetland ecosystem. It was surreal, the colour of the ‘moss’ was gorgeous.
We came to the end of the trail and it was a ‘On Back’ MUCH to Hooker’s horror…you mean we have to walk ALL that way back again…. But we did find mention of a ‘Marsh Harrier’ on the information board – which Smut kindly pointed out.
Back at the shed nibbles were put out to the starving hoards and lids popped off for a thirst-quenching drink, while Hash Cash reined the $$ in both for the Hash night & Raffle drawn next week.
Circle called Monk talked about interesting events in 2003 – like did anyone have a vasectomy?? And Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrates during re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts aboard. Who else can remember Smut’s Wikipedia info?
Few jokes, few charges, visiting runner Swollen Colon who drew the Harriette’s in for spin the bottle…what were we in for??? Surprise surprise, the winner Fork won an ironing board cover (for which Swollen Colon is a rep working in Canelands) then he drew the Hashers in for their go and Golly won the Darwin Stubby Cooler, which ended up on his head! Swollen Colon still here next week so you might be lucky to have another go. See you never know what a Hash night is going to bring!
Out of Annie’s kitchen, Half a Boat brings out a spread, Seafood Pasta, Mince and Lentils, Cauliflower with sauce. Well done Half a Boat. Then onto the cake!
But wait there’s more. 15 Feb is International Angelman Day. Top Knot very kindly brought a cake along for Wheelie who suffers from this condition. Angelman syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the nervous system and causes severe physical and learning disabilities.
More chatter, before we packed up our bits said good night. Until we meet again next Monday night at Teflons. On On
