Well.....I love to start with Well!,,, Friday night started off pretty quiet. All Cool! We had Fish and Chips and Scallops for dinner. Relaxed and watched American Beauty, then Dirty Harry. Slept well, then up early to Meet Gary and Sue for a reconnaissance drive for an outing for the BMC / Leyland Club. Sue had booked us all into Rose City Motel at Benalla. I had stayed there, I always say 100 years ago as we took my Mum and Dad to my sisters engagement party in Wangaratta. I was about 17 and was so in love with my red patent leather shoes. The first pair of red shoes. The Red shoes Mum bought me for my first hairdressing interview. My Mum. Such a quiet Lady. Red was her favourite colour. She even had the ceiling painted red in the kitchen, with of course the red and white, with a touch of gray Laminex table and chairs. All very brave as it was not a colour that Italians would let their daughters wear. I could never imagine the start of the red shoes and stories read later...Got off the track there.
We arrived at Benalla after a short stop at Swanpool. Decided on lunch at the Bakery. Went to the motel for a short rest, then off to the pub for dinner. We then headed back to Swanpool to the Cinema. A 1950's style CINEMA showing the best classic films from silents to recent releases.
A fantastic theatre. We saw Paper Planes. Then Intermission and St. Vincent. I enjoyed them both. Some good lessons in both of them. Very inexpensive night out. We intend going back again with the club on a club run.
Had a lovely sleep, got up early for the next part of the weekend.
Sunday. Off to Phillip Island for CLASSIC Festival of Motorsport.
