Goat Pie
Sunday 1st November 2009 We went to the market down at the foreshore this morning, there were quite a lot of people about but we didn’t find anything of interest so we drove to Bunbury, to have a look round up there. We drove straight to the waterfront at Bunbury and found a small market that we hadn’t realised existed, again there wasn’t much that interested us, apart from a pie stall, it was manned by a lady of African decent and she offered us a taster of a few pies, they were great especially the Goat pie and if we had got a cool box in the car we would have brought a few home, as it was we weren’t hungry enough to eat one then and we didn’t have a cool box in the

Gullible
Saturday 31st October 2009 We slept like logs last night after the exertions of yesterday, apart from the obligatory wake up call in what seems like the middle of the night by the puppies. The first person to order anything in the Café this morning was a tradie working down here for a couple of weeks, he ordered his coffee with Ian and then said “bit bad about the stabbing at the show last night”, it didn’t surprise Ian because of the bad feel about the place but it was the first he had heard about it, but if memory serves him well he thinks it happened last year as well. Kate was the first member of staff in this morning, when Ian said to her about the stabbing, s

Bandana Day
Friday 30th October 2009 After being flat out all day yesterday we thought that we would probably come back down to earth today, but it wasn’t to be and we had our busiest day of the year today instead. It is Bandana Day today and Ian bought all the staff a bandana to wear at work, everyone wore one, even Ian, apart from Aden who doesn’t like to get involved in public displays, but as he doesn’t very often come out of the kitchen we let him off. Bandana Day is the fundraising day for a group called canteen who are a children’s cancer charity, the bandanas were only $3 each and we bought 10 for us and the staff, we even wore ours to the show in the evening.

Thursday 29th October 2009 Don’t quite know what happened today really, we were mobbed in the Café today, probably our busiest day of the year so far and just to make it interesting, about 15 minutes before our afternoon member of staff was due to start and we were committed to letting other staff leave as they had worked maximum hours, the staff members mother phoned up to say that she wasn’t feeling well and wouldn’t be in. Nothing like a bit of notice, and that was nothing like a bit of notice, fortunately Carolyn was able to come in and help with the close up. Whether it has anything to do with extra people coming to town because the Busselton Show starts tomor

Freecycle Busselton
Wednesday 28th October 2009 It was a ticky overy sort of day at the Café today, a little bit of a rush early lunch, but other than that it just ticked over slowly until late afternoon. Ian had a discussion with the staff this morning about our visit from the Environmental Health Officer yesterday, he was explaining how between now and ten days time the walls need to be washed down ready for painting, at which point someone pointed out that the wall under the sink was not only a tad grimy, but the space under the sinks is a tad small as well, so it was decided that Little John, alias Robin Hood would fit perfectly under there and as he is the newest member of staff, he probably
