Out With The Girls...

Had a delightful night out last night with some dear friends. Some I know quite well, others I am loving getting to know much better. Headed to the best woodfired pizza place in town for some laughs and a drink or three.

Had a really manic day at work...our Food Safety Audit is on Monday & I spent almost three hours overtime making sure things were in order. I have inherited a crappy mess and it has taken some time to get it sorted...the person who did my job before me seems to have neglected to keep the appropriate records, a nightmare to sort out. Showering & getting ready to go out were the last things I felt like doing but it was so worth the effort.

I digress...

The first gin & tonic didn't touch the sides, it was closely followed by another and a third. So good to unwind. All the usual topics were discussed...dead beat ex-boyfriends, childbirth (one of us is 34 weeks pregnant and is a surrogate for dear friends), best-ever sex, worst-ever sex...many laughs had, much pizza eaten & a few bottles of red downed.

Good times all round. Shell, Janelle, Nancy, Karen, Lou & Adele...I had a great evening, looking forward to the next one. Lou B...missed you, hope you are feeling much better today.

In Awe...

Friday evening was the annual Sound Showcase at Matilda's school...her very last one given she is in Grade 12. For the first time it was held in the beautiful new theatre, "The Imperial Playhouse". It has been constructed over the last 12 months or so as part of the Queensland Government's "Schools Of Tomorrow" program.

It's just gorgeous and playing in such a beautiful venue was reflected in the student's performance...they played with maturity and professionalism.

Just a few photos...in the band photo Matilda is seated immediately to the right of the Conductor, she plays first flute. The others are from the Flute Quartet's performance.

I am utterly in awe of anyone who can read music as well as these young people do. It's like another language...so very clever...

It's Been Too Long...

...and time I resurrected this little blog.

Time seems to slip by too quickly, suddenly it's May and I haven't written for so long here. Will endeavour to update weekly, no promises but am going to try.

Check back shortly...
