Saturday 18 April week 4

Our 5k run on Gowrie Tilgonda road went well. We passed Ann Marie Lyons with another woman and a girl with two dogs, a car and a delivery van. Nice quiet road to run on, starting and finishing on some corrugated gravel this time but it worked out well.
Planted out the pumpkin seedlings in the second bed of the vegie garden and prepared the third bed. I got the seedlings out of the worm farm a few weeks ago and put them in tubes. They were yellow at first and quickly turned green but in recent days they were starting to wilt and die in the tubes. They like being in the garden. I also put in some unknown pumpkin seeds off the kitchen bench.
I sold the red Dunlop pushbike in the afternoon for $20. I had spent $15 on new tubes in order to sell it but it is good to be gone and hopefully the young girl who got it will enjoy it.
I  listed the polystyrene wine racks on Gumtree.
We had a zoom meeting with Em and Lee at Happy Hour.

A special day

All family, including Sarah, assembled for Dick's 100th run on his 70th birthday. Lee and Em had a busy working bee late Friday afternoon making about 70 cup cakes which they iced at 6am with hundreds and thousands on top. It was very windy so we parked the car near the finish to protect the cakes, ready to serve. We ran in our milestone shirts.
The family stats read out included 400 parkruns, at ? locations, in 8 countries, and ? vollies.
We then headed to Urban Cup for coffee and were joined by Owen Wheatley from Tuesday walkers and Indian philosophers.
Home with leftover cupcakes for more breakfast and pizza and ? salad for lunch.
Jim and Sarah headed off to Daisy Kratzings Christmas party in the afternoon and we tried out the new 24 km western section of the TSRC which opened at 4pm, from Mort Street to Athol on the Gore Highway and return.
Sunday morning  after we all went for a swim, Lee Em and I took the new road from Warrego Hwy at Charlton to Cecil Plains road for our trip to the tip shop where we dumped Margaret Vineys metal table and chairs [rusting and not prepared to do them up a second time] and got a tumbler composter and 2 jigsaws.
