This morning, we decided to check out a local fair. It was free to get in. It was only a small fair, but there were a few good stalls – secondhand books, cakes and biscuits, jams and preserves, curry and rice (which you could zap in a microwave there), lots of raffles and lucky dips and a golf putting competition. We paid $3 ($1 each go) at the lucky dip and won a bottle of tomato puree, a can of SPC baked beans and a glass jar full of plastic toy soldiers (we’ll probably give them to Jac’s nephew Max). Jac bought some chocolate rice bubble slice and a chocolate and zucchini cake, as well as a few things from a secondhand stall – a stack of small plastic Chinese rice bowls, two wooden serving trays, a plastic butter dish with lid and a lamp shade. The best part of the morning for me was the EATING of course! There was a sausage sizzle at the fair, which we could smell from across the road (mmmmmmm…) and we each had a sausage, onions and sauce in a bun. I squiggled ketchup and American mustard over the top of mine.

Jac squirted tomato ketchup (top left), mustard (bottom left) and barbecue sauce (bottom right) on hers. We were really lucky – the lady just before us bought four sausage sizzles for her family, and she got all the older, shrivelled up onions in hers. We got the fresher, moister onions.
