Birthday hamper for ThirdCat

Renowned South Australian blogger, mother, novelist and standup comedian Adelaide From Adelaide, AKA ThirdCat, has gone to live in Abu Dhabi for a while and is having a significant birthday there, so I've made her a virtual hamper of South Australian treats. The photo at the end is of Fisherman's Jetty in Port Pirie; it's actually dawn, not sunset as the poem* suggests, but the effect is the same.

Best chox in the universe.

Langhorne Creek Lake Breeze Bernoota Shiraz. Observe medals.

Almond milk rock ...

... and mixed lollies with snakes.




... tell me, if you know,
Why, when the singing ended and we turned
Toward the town, tell why the glassy lights,
The lights in the fishing boats at anchor there,
As the night descended, tilting in the air,
Mastered the night and portioned out the sea,
Fixing emblazoned zones and fiery poles,
Arranging, deepening, enchanting night.
