Perth Royal Show & some oysters

It's almost the end of the year, how time flies! A couple of weeks ago, Jo and I went to Perth Royal Show again. This year's show was a bit of a downer because the weather was really crummy and it was showering all afternoon.


Jo and I went on the bumper car rides, very fun but we were all bruised and knocked up afterwards. Last year we bought a Barbie showbag for Sabrina (came with Barbie cap, hairband, bag, notebook etc.) but this year we were too cheapskate, so Sabrina has no presents this Christmas *evil grin*.


This is Spotty, our balloon dog. Our only purchase and best purchase at the show (only $5). It was such an attention getter and followed Jo like a real dog as she led it by the string. Lots of kids and parents ran up to Jo to ask her where she bought it from.


Who says dogs don't fly? It was a very windy afternoon.


Even though it was freezing, we still stayed till 9pm for the fireworks show. Can you spot Jo in the picture?


Before Hads left for New York, we met up for a seafood dinner at Oyster Bar. This is where Jo wants to bring Ah Ma for oysters when she next visits Perth. $12 for a dozen so that's $1 each, pretty good deal right?


Jo and her signature 'V' sign.


Hads getting ready to dig in.


Both of them had the Surf and Turf which was a giant steak with half a lobster tail on mash.


Mine was a trio of grilled snapper with prawns and scallops with asparagus and citrus sauce. To tell the truth, the dishes weren't that great. So next time when we go to the Oyster Bar we're going to stick with what they know best, oysters!

Christmas is just around the corner and we're going to be home soon! (^__^)
