What's up for the weekend?

[El Presidente]

 

Well, the weekend kicked off with one hell of a lunch and deck session Friday. Cody is in from Texas, Clive and West in from Western Australia and Luke up from Melbourne. It was a brilliant day/evening/morning.....from what I can remember 

Today/Saturday is lunch with the lads at one of our favourite restaurants "Stanleys" and then a cigar at Blackbird overlooking the river. I hope to be home by 5PM to collapse on the couch and watch some rugby. 

Sunday is Paniyiri whch is the largest Greek festival outside of Athens. Huge day and I think I will send Cody there while I knuckle down and do some work, visit some parents etc. 

 

What's up for the weekend?

I'm having a quiet one at home this weekend, as I brought my wife home from hospital this week after she spent two weeks in hospital following her hip surgery. She doing very well. I smoked a few cigars, caught up on Duolingo and watched some TV shows we enjoy (Your Friends and Neighbors, Margo's Got Money Troubles and Widow's Bay).

Hauling the dogs to the groomer. Always a production as they are getting older. Raining here too.

Headed to the driving range to tune up a little for a Monday round with my sister. I just play for fun but if she outscores me, I’d never hear the end of it. Since it matters that much to her, I can’t let her win 😁.

It's huge. These pics can't contain the perspective. It's so big the local brewery cans something special for the weekend.

Found a Dallas Cowboy fan that hooked me up with a snack plate.

A miraculous meetup with @Miner & @westg.

There's also a MacArthur museum in Brisbane, as his HQ was in the CBD.

This is a reproduction of his desk,with the original inkspots and cigar burns recreated for historical accuracy. A humidor was also in the room, my understanding is this was the original before and after MacArthur used this particular office.

I did not expect to find something so closely cigar related. 

@JohnS - can you help me out here? Ppl may get dizzy looking at these!

Wondering if this baby’s gonna make it 500 miles…
