Herdsman Fresh Food Festival was this weekend. I made a lovely morning of it, heading down to park at Herdsman Lake (the parking at Herdy Fresh wasn't as bad as I expected) and taking the short walk to the shop. It was very pleasant - a sunshiney day after so much rain!

It was a gold coin donation to get in, and all money went to the zoo, which was motivation enough for me to give them another $4.90 in change after I left. I spent too much money, as I expected I would. A lot of this stuff I wouldn't buy under normal circumstances, but when you actually have the chance to try it and see how good it is, buying something is a lot more likely.



The fresh squeezed juice up the back was on special if you bought three. I got mango, apple and cranberry and berry basket.
Hibiscus flower vinegar - I was really wowed by these, they also had blood lime and tangerine vinegars, to my surprise I liked the hibiscus one best. This will be great on salads and in marinades.
Seeded mustard with olives in it.
Leaf chai tea. [info]riverstar will be proud.
A goats milk peccorino - this was quite sweet and mild, none of the sharpness of regular cows milk peccorino.
A fancy French cheese made with cows and goats milk.

I also bought basics like bananas, and a Mt Barker free range chook because they had $2 off vouchers, and I recently bought a cleaver that I want to try out on an unsuspecting chicken.

I spent about half an hour or so wandering around Herdsman Lake afterwards and birdwatching. Some moron was letting their little dog splash around in the water and hunt through the reeds and scare the birds. Obviously one of these poor illiterates that can't read the "dogs must be on a leash" signs.

Was delighted by FOUR reed-warblers in plain sight hunting insects on the flooded boardwalk area.

Then went to Jackadder Lake to use the toilets there (one big problem with Herdsman - there are NO toilets anywhere around it, this will be a big issue if I'm to ever walk the whole lake in one day). Much smaller lakes like Monger and Jackadder have plenty of facilities. Jackadder Lake recently installed gym equipment around the lake. Had a go on the rowing machine, might try to get down there regularly and do circuits, it's certainly a much nicer setting than a gym, but you have to deal with kids playing on the exercise equipment. *sigh*

I then dropped by Seafresh and bought some threadfin salmon for dinner and seafood chowder for lunch.

I somehow doubt having Melissa do the Pas-de-deux was a completely random pick-a-dance-out-of-the-hat moment.

But my gosh you could see she was bloody overjoyed to be in her pointe shoes doing Romeo & Juliet. Lovely. :)

I wonder if they'll have Talia dancing with Melissa in the finale.

I have credit card debt and mad crazy medical bills. Plus, I'm trying to move to Arizona to live with my family. Therefore, time to start selling the dollies that I'm not overly attached to.

The nitty-gritty: I would prefer to sell to the USA or Canada - PayPal only. All items must be insured and it will be automatically added to shipping price - if you don't want to insure, items lost will be at your peril, and there will be no refund for missing packages. I reserve the right to refuse offers. I have sold in various places - flickr, Dolly Market, ShopADollic, and LiveJournal; my feedback available upon request! ^^ v

I would prefer cold hard (PayPal!) cash, but wouldn't mind doing a bit of trading. I would love a full-stock unaltered Melize, and white/pale skin large-medium-and-small bust obitsu bodies. Gimme a try.

Now for the fun stuff!

Did you hear the screaming and the psychotic laughter?

About two hours ago?

There's no way you could have missed it.

It probably made you feel cold and sick with fear.

I'm sorry about that. I tried on some harem pants in Primark and it was the only apropriate response.
