Preliminary visit to our next home at Lourdes Retirement Village
It was good see that Special Constable XXXX managed to apprehend one of Escapees, who had been hiding out in the Lourdes Retirement village. For his pains he was forced to down a glass of Holy Water to seek absolution for his heinous crimes.
Before all that drama, all on his little own some, Water Bed on the eve of the Budget, had set a taxing Run around Killara. A very significant Mob turned up
either expecting the Committee to turn on another fantastic evening similar to the one at Maitland or else they were sniffing out bed and breakfast with free
Holy Water at the Lourdes Retirement Village.
Heading off up Stanhope towards Pacific Highway, the athletes and weekend non-attendees broke into a bit of a gallop led by Music, who was on song as usual.
Runners and Walkers briefly parted company, with Doggy Bag and The Flying Scotsman taking the Runners for a tour around Swain’s Garden before the two Groups re-united briefly, then the Runners led by Captain Fizz took off along Treatts, whilst the Walkers including Wrappers and Kyber, maintained their sedate pace down Nelson into Woodside and onto the Pacific Highway where remnants from both Groups came together. They pretty much stayed within calling distance around Capper and Majorie,
and then into Tryon, before the long climb up Eastern Arterial sorted the Men out from the Retirement Village Applicants. The smart ones of course had long short-cutted
back up Nelson for an early Bucket. It was a well marked Run singularly lacking in Checks. Obviously Water Bed considered most knew their way around the area, and despite his best intentions they wouldn’t fallen for Checks or Check-Backs. So he opted for a fairly straight forward, long Run and left it to the individual members of the Mob to decide when they had enough to head home. Most hung in and came to the OnOn, where Music entertained all on the piano as Lamb Shanks with a delicious gravy was served.
