Peaceful Sunday

   I asked my boss to take me fishing since I was dying of boredom.
 
   Although I had a hang over since I drank too much the night before, I was so excited.
   We went to Brisbane River. It took about 40 minutes from Gatton.
   We took a small boat with an Engine.

 
  It was the first time that I had been river fishing, since I usually go to the sea for fishing, and I aim at the fish that live at a depth of 35-50m in the sea.

  But this time, the depth is about 3 m, and I aim at the fish in the middle.
   It was difficult for me because when I go sea fishing I aim at the sea floor.
 
 
   Anyway, I threw the bait and just left it.
   I caught 3 fish, of which 2 were bass and one was a yellow belly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   We waited for the fish to grab the bait in the silence.
   We only heard birds singing. And we found Pelicans.
    I saw they flying and they were like small air crafts.
    The wings were big and they were very graceful.
 
 
 
 
 
     I saw wild koalas as well and they were a mother and a child. 
  
   They were so cute and I couldn't stop smiling.
    But my boss said that wild koalas are not so friendly and they will groan if we draw too close to them.
 
 
   We had the fish with his family.
   I thought the freshwater fish is not tasty but it was very delicious. 
 
 
   It was a peaceful Sunday.

Greek style lunch


I made sandwitch for my lunch with avocado, Feta cheese and "vegie smoked slices" by Sanitarium instead of bacon because I just like it.
I'm not a vegetalian but I sometimes buy this brand since my vegetalian friend gave it to me.
It tastes like original bacon and I don't feel too much full of my stomach and kind of heartburn when we take meat fat.
Also I haven't found tasty sausages and bacon here so far. I don't know why Australian sausages are different from others. The skin is very hard to bite, it is like still raw. And the meat inside is like minced meat and lack of smoke flavor. Is this Australian favorite taste? Otherwise what I had were just not good.

Besides I had salad that I cooked at last night.
I like to eat this kind of salad after keeping a half day or more.
I squeezed water of cucumber and red onion.Then mixed all ingredients just added olive oil and flaxseed oil. I could tast salt from Feta and black olive.
