In a competition to give away $5000 we were calling out a street that didn't actually exist anywhere on the Border. Luckily the people who lived where we were supposed to be talking about figured it out pretty quickly and got us back on the right path.
Also we found a cafe where only one sized coffee is king (because that's the only sized brew they do!)
NO ONE LIVES IN DISOMA COURT
Well they might actually if there's a Disoma court outside of the Border. But in our broadcasting range there certainly isn't, a simple spelling mistake on the computer screen had us scratching our heads and more on how to pronounce the place than where it was (or if it even existed to begin with).
Dee-Soma?
Die-Soma?
Diss-Oh-Mah?
Nope, none of those. Because it's Diosma Court, named after the flower. Which looks like this:
The more you know!
TODAY I LEARNT - BLOKARTING!
The name of a flower wasn't the only thing we learnt today, finding out about the sport Blokarting. And if you're wondering if there's a connection between Go Karting and wind somewhere there then you're pretty close. It's land sailing!
Originally from New Zealand, it's growing in popularity here and apparently big in Beachworth and other locations. While we don't have a nice stretch of beach handy, there's plenty of land about to fang about in one of these wind powered machines of awesomeness and we'd love to give it a try - seriously how much fun does it look?
YOU CAN HAVE ANY COFFEE YOU LIKE - BUT YOU CAN'T PICK THE SIZE
A shout out to the lovely staff at Canvas Lane Eatery in QEII Square Albury - I've been meaning to try their coffees for a while and today was the day.
And while their Oat Cap was delicious, I was surprised by the lack of sizes. There's no small, medium or large here, there's just coffee. (Take away cup size seemed between small and medium.) I'm so used to including a size description when ordering that it feels really strange saying just 'Cappuccino please.'
Still, coffee did the trick so I was happy for it no matter what the size and I'm always happy checking out new places around town.
Nice to see the weather has calmed down for the moment too - although they're predicting more rain for the weekend.. (Hopefully not)
Chat tomorrow!
