Photo-a-Day 8th September - Saturday

I got my energy back! I was able to go to the fair! Hooray! *g*

It started with a parade (these guys are from my nephew's primary school, although he was marching with his soccer team instead). They're all bees! How cute is that! *g*

Then there was fair food. Mini pancakes, with butter and lemon and maple syrup! Fairy floss was never blue in my day - but it seemed like the only fresh fairy floss around, so we tried it. It actually tasted of something (though not fairy floss like I remember) and it melted in your mouth, and it turned you entirely blue. Okay, it might just have felt like entirely, but I kept wanting to check my face for blue-ness for hours after. *g*

Traditional fair events - the woodchopping competition, and pole-vaulting!! The Australian champion wood chopper was there later in the day, and having given the others a 28 second lead, he still beat everyone!

We had a break for a few hours (well, I took mum out for a drive into the hills, cos it was a gorgeous day), and then we went for an Indian and came back in time to see the torchlight parade (the emergency services) and then the fireworks!



So all in all, it was rather a nice day to make up for Friday's rough one!

It looks like candy floss to me, but that was pink or white.

Yeah, fairy floss and candy floss are the same thing as far as I know. When I was little it was either pink or yellow when you got it at the "show" (fair) - definitely not gaudy blue! *g*
