Hippo Birdie Andy!!

Today was A's b'day which did not start off well... To start with it was a "round" number (/me whispers thirty) .. then there was the kitten that just wanted to wish him a happy birthday from mid night until 4 am ... And then when he got up, the real fun began! A car breakdown!

Lucky things got better from there with a session in the valley - I was designated driver... Which was a bit sad once we got to DOOLEY'S and the pints of Bulmers came out ... so sad .. too bad!

And then we decided to move on to dinner as the boys were keen to discover / rediscover the ribs at Blue Smoke BBQ, down the road in New Farm.... Firstly can I say CORN BREAD! well I just did ... so yum with the honey butter whip!

Andrew & Dunc of course had the beef ribs and I had the lamb (with fries and BBQ-ed corn). Both excellent choices. Although for me the star of the night was the very YUMMY buffalo wings, with the third degree sauce luckily on the side!!!

By the end of the night Andrew was ready to give birth to twins, named Bulmers ... and ... Ribs...!

sawadee?

Looks like I might be visiting the land of smiles again sooner than I thought.... The travel bug is still around albeit it will have taken me 12 months to get around to the next trip ....

So in June if plans come to fruition, I will be escorting my beloved flo to bangers for some hard core shopping.....

I can't wait... I have been hanging for some authentic thai food... This one which I had for work the other day - but nothing on the real TOM YUM GONG!!

Any way... watch this space.... :P

Congratulations to the Happy Couple

Yesterday, IP and I had the pleasure of attending Matt & SJ's wedding... what a happy event! The weather held off, the temperature was perfect for this joyous occasion. The ceremony was at a little rotunda on the same site as the reception, so cute! And the reception was superb, I enjoyed a Barramundi with a Potato Cake like thing. The steak looked good too! Dessert was a chocolate thing or a creme brulee.... YUMMO!

I can't think of anything else to say - I am in denial about the maybe hangover.... At least I am not yakking, just a bit tired and fuzzy!

But yeah.... I thought I would get my hair "done" for the night, so I went to the hairdresser with no idea - just up! And I ended up looking like a BOOF-bowl... It was OK, but at least I know for next time to ask for anti boof.

Swifty Swift

Today I took delivery of my brand new (only 7kms on the clock) BLUE Suzuki Swift (YAY!) It took a lot of careful consideration, thought, research and a bit of waiting as well for this purchase (which is so unlike me). But now it's here in my driveway and the chazza is sadly in it's new home.... Which is a bit emotional ... but anyway ... I don't know how I survived with out powersteering, air conditioning that works and suspension - my teeth no longer rattle when I go over a bump! To the right is a picture of the weird flowers that they gave me.... Would have preferred all of the warranties on the extra bits I got like tinted windows, rust protection and pain protection!!!

But yeh I luv my new wheels.... watch this space for the pimping of my new ride!!!!
