T minus 1
this weekend marked 1 year until we get married (our wedding weekend prequel as zac referred to it). we went up to hepburn springs for the weekend cuz zac wanted to see a band playing up there on friday nite (the hansome family). the band was playing just down the road from our house on thursday but it was it was a good excuse to go up to hepurn again.
we stayed at the continental house like we did last year when we were in hepburn springs. it was much warmer this time though (i guess it is still summer- last time it was mid-autumn).
saturday we went to daylesford lake and had a coffee at a cafe at the back of a used bookshop overlooking the lake. there was a really cool "horse-dog" that lived in the backyard next to the porch we were having the coffee on (we were feeling a bit dog-deprived with wombat spending the weekend with zac's mum). she was soooo cute (and HUGE). we went for a walk around the lake and then walked around town a for a while. by late afternoon we were ready for a nap so we we went back to the conti and just read on the porch and took a nap before our vegan banquet dinner (they do an amazing vegan banquet every saturday nite).
we also decided to take a bit of a walk before dinner. we walked down to the closest spring water taps to fill up our water bottles and i wanted to try to get some nature photos. i was taking photos of a bridge and then i sat up on one of the cement pillars while zac looked at the camera. i saw a bird land on the branch above zac. i started to say half jokingly to zac "he's gonna poop on you." before i even finished there was a little bomb heading down towards zac. he was looking up at this moment, saw it coming and tried to dodge it. he wasn't quick enough. below is the culprit, zac's shirt right after the incident and then zac's shirt 5 mintues later (we rinsed the back under mineral water and then stuck it on a post in the sun to dry for 15 min while we sat in the grass in the shade).
a cool change came in last nite. it was the first time in a couple weeks i've put anything with long sleeves on and it was the first nite that i slept with more than just a sheet over me. i even wore a thin long sleeve jumper for 1/2 of today! its sooo nice with cool temps in the low/mid 20s and having it drop below 20C overnite.
this morning we had coffee at the bookshop at the lake again (we had to go visit our doggy friend) and then slowly headed home stopping to get an evapourative cooler (next time the heat gets rediculous again we'll have a bit of relief from it) and some groceries.
we definately had a good relaxing weekend (i'm sure nhis weekend ext year will be a bit more chaotic but it will be a very fun weekend).
