Orange weekend
Graham's brother John is leaving soon for a new job in Zambia, so he and Meagan gave a farewell party in Orange. We drove down first thing on Saturday.
John and Meagan were roasting a whole pig on a spit for the party. When we asked Louka what it was, she said "pig, pig".
While we waited for it to cook, Louka decimated the potato crisps. Oh well, she doesn't get them often: in fact I don't think she's ever had them before. When the other guests arrived, Louka "entertained" a 10-month-old boy by giving him spoons, forks and bottle-openers, and putting his drink to his mouth just long enough for him to try to suck, then snatching it away. He took it all with great good humour.
Even though she'd only had a half-hour nap, she was showing no signs of wanting to go to bed. The excitement made it hard for her, but eventually she fell asleep.
For breakfast we went to the café at the botanical gardens, right next to the award-winning Orange Adventure Playground. When we got there we were disappointed to find it shut on account of a family wedding. We took Louka to the playground while we decided where to go instead. Despite the amazing array of play equipment, as usual she was only interested in the swings. Fortunately there were plenty of them. After a while we decided on an alternative café, then after a rather late breakfast headed home.
