Hey guys, don’t fall over! 3 posts in a week. Just keeping you all on your toes.
\nNo knitting in this one though, except to say that the Easter Show knitting was a very mixed bag this year. Some of the quality of entries was extremely high. Some of the quality of judging was questionable to say the least. No pictures, because to be honest, I forgot to get the camera out. But you’re not missing anything, unless you want to see ribbons on things that have blatant mistakes, bad tension and just plain bad taste. (In my opinion, of course!) And some of the beautiful things that absolutely deserved the ribbons they got were hung so badly that you couldn’t see them properly anyway. But I’m not going to dwell on that. So if you’re here for the knitting, that’s it, the rest is way off topic.
\nThe best part of the Easter Show is the crap food we eat all day long. This year, it was my mission to only eat food that came on a stick. There was no lack of availability of such foods, but I did cheat by having some CWA (Country Women’s Association) scones. But they’re so awesome, you have to make an exception.
\nSo without further ado –

\nStarted the day with Cheese on a Stick. (Battered, deep fried cheese. On a stick)
\nThen we went and looked at the knitting. Then consoled ourselves with hot dogs.

\n(Kris<\/a> tells me in the US, it’s a corn dog)
\nKnitters with sticks!

\nKris<\/a>, me, Kylie<\/a> and Ailsa<\/a>. Cheese, hotdog, cheese, cheese.
\nChocolate covered bananas. On a stick.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nEm had strawberries. I forgot that picture.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nFairy Floss. On a stick. Or cotton candy, if you prefer.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nChips on a stick! Apparently its a deep fried, spiral cut potato. Em said it was good, I didn’t partake.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nCorn on a stick, with appalling colour.
\nI feel like a failure. We missed toffee apples on sticks. And icecream. Something to aim for next year!
\nAnd we didn’t come home empty handed.
