A most pleasant point

Dad was keen to revisit Pleasant Point particularly with a view to showing the boys the Model T Ford Railcar.  It was thus our first stop for Saturday morning, after mucking about at home for a while, playing some violin and guitar duets and taking a family photo.  Had a good look around the little railcar; the stationmaster was quite happy for us to get inside it.  Took ourselves to Legends for our tenzees - the most amazing little restaurant with vintage decor and mismatched chairs and the most interesting knick-knacks.  Walked past the taxidermist across the road as well but that was pretty awful really unless you happen to like the idea of stuffed preserved animals.  I asked Nick if we could take a drive through Pleasant Point (gesturing appropriately with head bobbings); our drive brought us out at a regular garage sale which we've been to before.  Picked up a few books.  Home for a late lunch and afternoon at home.  At 6 pm we had a tea arrangement with the Kempfs - church folk have been so accommodating and hospitable!  Had a lovely evening with delicious cooking, some dutch blitz and live music thrown in.  We were all much amused at their new dishwasher ("it's the best cold water can do").

I was having some difficulty with my iPhone 3Gs video camera not working - just when I really needed it, it froze!  Apparently this is a known issue with many complaints; did some googling and found this handy article which solved the problem, so if you're reading the blog and have an issue, try this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3804.
