party season
It's started. The party season has truly arrived and so has the summer weather (even the flies!)
Last Friday night was my work social xmas party. We had lots Seafood platters and lucky for me I was on a table with people who couldn’t be bothered to get their hands dirty to unpeel prawns and crack into the crabs. I had a ‘Splash’ moment where Darryl Hannah chomps into a lobster in restaurant. (Except I am not blonde and 6 foot with a flapping tail. But oh how I wished I was after I saw that movie!).
Saturday – DB race in Penrith. Got asked nicely (many times) to help out my ‘Nagas’ who were left short of female paddlers on the weekend. So I went and paddled and hung out in Penrith. It was my first DB race since…China last year! So many things have changed and yet nothing ever really changes – a few new faces, same old faces, same dirty jokes, and same build up of lactic acid in the forearms. And, unfortunately for my gut, the same Krispy Kremes afterwards!
Sunday arvo went to HT’s 30th Birthday Picnic in Centennial Park and in a spot completely away from the children’s picnic area! Except it was completely overrun by poodles. Imagine ten yapping manicured poodles trying to hump each other and running amuck. There was even a poodle dressed as Santa. But the picnic was great – lots of eating talking laughing swatting flies and chasing the shade. It was very educational too with HT teaching us pilates exercises, Jpeg teaching Ah Beng the correct technique to throw an aerobe (but failing miserably!) and Clinton teaching us the value of family connections to get 10% discounts at Thai restaurants.
The week ahead…
– crafty commitments (yes the scarves are FINALLY getting sent out)
- another work xmas party (karaoke anyone?!)
- farewell to Romykins
- weekend away to Mollymook for outrigger event.
- missing my partner in crimes ‘Red Ginger’ who is shopping it up in Thailand!
