Some days create special memories, almost by accident. Last week Joe and I met our special friends Karen and Emma for Lunch in the Mall (Rundle Mall, Adelaide, for those not local!) I have so many memories of the Mall growing up – it was where my Grandma always took us in the holidays; where we hung out after school; the location of my first job; and not surprisingly, the location of many a shopping trip since! In fact, it was years before I realised there were Shopping Centres in Adelaide – with a roof and air-conditioning! For those not familiar, it is located in the heart of the CBD in Adelaide, and although it has undergone a few facelifts over the years, has retained it’s character and most of it’s icons along the way.
Our first stop was the pigs – gotta love these guys you can climb all over them, and they stay right there!
You never know who you will meet ( Editors Note – these are not the sporting colours we support!)
The recently polished Mall’s Ball’s – what more can we say? We also visited the re-located and re-painted fountain(No, we didn’t take photo’s. No, I don’t know why). Then we had a joy-ride in the glass elevators at the Renaissance Centre. Twice. But don’t tell Centre Management – this is not permitted apparently.
And finally we had lunch to celebrate a special Birthday.
There was lot’s of walking for little legs, much to look at, and hopefully, some special memories.
Happy 5th Birthday Emma!

What an adorable little couple! Just too cute- looks like a great day was had by all, and I hope you didn’t overdo it with all that walking- you are meant to be resting!!

Emma is Joe’s one true love! No, this was actually the day before the op – believe me, I am resting!

Lots of fun… gotta love those giant silver balls. Daniel wants to know how the top one doesn’t fall off.

Welcome home – tell him I have no idea, but will ask Uncle Mark for him – not that he’s likely to know either!

There’s a rod through the middle of both balls and mounted in concrete in the ground- so Chris tells me.

I told him that they used double sided tape.
