Alice Springs (Thursday 2)

Almost time to hit the road again!
Today hasn't been particularly exciting, mostly washing and packing, getting ready to my final week on the road.
The others all went out for lunch, giving Sandra and I a few minutes together to just talk, something we haven't had much of a chance to do with our desert trip and Sandra having to work all weekend. I've really enjoyed spending time with her. I don't think we've ever spent so much time together, even if has been busy and with others. It really is uncanny how alike she and Mum are! I have to wonder if my children, and my sisters children will find the same thing in years to come. Ellie and I are close in age, and have always been close growing up. Becca and I have really similar personalities. It will be intersting to see. Maybe I'll end up like Keygan or Hayden? I somehow doubt it though...
As the desert festival continues, Leon and Andrew had another performance tonight, this time in the mall. I discovered potato twisties- coolest thing ever! Except she over salted mine, but still amazing...

Potato twistie!

The markets were pretty cool, but we didn't have heaps of time because...
We were going to the comedy show! Leon was the MC for the night, so we got to hear a few short skits from him throughout the evening, which were quite good. There were two other local comedians featured before the main act... FRANK WOODLEY!!
I was really surprised to see him on the program all the way out here. I was so glad he did though, because I haven't laughed that hard in ages! I had seen him as part of Lano and Woodley years ago, but I think he's actually better by himself. I got to meet him after the show, and I got my picture taken with him. Twice. Gaye didn't get one in focus the first time round, so she dragged him back for round two...

Having a cuddle with Frank!

 Really need to get to bed now!
