23 May 2023 - Bermagui to Wallagoot

Part the First
Up betimes but now on the fizz with Mrs P's relatives and no time to blog so can't be bothered trying to say anything sensible.

Will tomorrow reveal dramatic events which occurred at Bermagui earlier today!

Stay tuned!!

Part the Second
Before getting on the fizz with Mrs P's relatives at Wallagoot there is much that occurred in Bermagui that must be conveyed to the reader (note the deliberate use of the singular).

As usual we were up betimes and made our way to the "Eurolicious Café" in Bermagui for a delightful breakfast.
 Eurolicious Café, Bermagui - nice breakfast with a 70's rock n roll soundtrack

Following breakfast, and at the Prop's insistence, we returned to the Blue Pool in the hope of obtained a photograph of said pool bathed in morning sunlight 

Naturally, given the events of 9 years ago when Mrs P fractured both her wrists, the Prop was being astute to ensure that there was no repetition of that event. To that end, the Prop walked directly in front of Mrs P to prevent any fall...

Inexplicably, incredibly, unbelievably (choose your preferred adverb) as the Prop reached the locus in quo of the 2014 incident, the Prop lost his footing on the VERY same step as Mrs P had done 9 years earlier!!

The result was that the Prop fell headlong forwards (in very much the same way as Mrs P had done 9 years ago). Fortunately, the Prop was not seriously hurt - two grazed knees and a bit of a left wrist strain.

According to Mrs P, the Prop then looked up at her with a look of utter bewilderment on his face.

How a man whose wife had been seriously injured 9 years previously and who was taking great care to avoid any repetition of that event could possibly have contrived to unintentionally do precisely the same thing beggars belief!

As the Prop lay prostrate on the ground a very nice young couple who had been nearby, rushed to the Prop's aid. The female then volunteered that she herself had had a similar experience!
A step too far! The offending step at the top of the Blue Pool stairway - note the paint on the edge has all but worn away.

A close-up picture of the Prop's knees taken after the incident - not a pretty sight!

In some discomfort the Prop managed to make his way down to the Blue Pool proper but was devastated to find that it was neither sunlit not blue!

However, all was not lost. Just next to the Blue Pool we sighted a large number of seals cavorting in the ocean appearing to have a whale of a time.

A lovely view of the township of Bermagui

After a full morning of intense excitement in Bermagui we set forth for Wallagoot, home of the famous Staffordshire Terrier, "Brick McCracken"

Having introduced ourselves to "The Brick" we wasted no time in getting on the fizz - see Part the First (above).

Perfick!

I can’t believe you fell over in the same spot. If it weren’t for the photo I would have said you were having us on.
Lovely to see Brick still alive and kicking with a dapper coat. Does he still include household fixtures in his diet.

No, no longer eating remote controls, doors or flyscreens!
