G'day everyone,
You'll be pleased to know there's been no more 'Muggings' this week. I was talking with my Manager though and could see the Kookaburra through her office window .... it was taunting me I'm sure !!
Monday was a Public Holiday here so it was a very short week. Quiz night, we had 10 people on our team and only managed 3rd place ! No drinks voucher or anything. Dean and Helen came and brought Dean's folks who are over here on holiday. We had Carol and she brought her partner and then Rudi (Em's cousin) came. We should have won it with all the people !
It was Em's birthday on saturday so we bought her a Birthday Banner and some balloons and decorated the room for when she got back from work. We hid behind the chairs and frightened the life out of her when she opened the door ......... probably not a good idea after just having the break-in really but funny all the same !
Em drove us to the beach and we had a walk around the Sculptures by the sea. Pieces of art that people had designed and they display them on Cottesloe Beach. We just missed the sunset but it was still lovely. Em had fish and chips and we sat on the beach for a while whilst she ate them. Very nice.
Saturday Ben was working 10-2pm so we gave Em her present before Ben had gone. We had bought her a DVD that she wanted, also got her a ACDC keyring (as she's going to see them on monday night) and Digs bought her a Birthday Girl badge (which she wore all day !). Me and Em watched the DVD together and then I headed out to town to get some shopping done and to have a wander. Got back just after 3 and Ben wasn't long after. We had bought Em some Mr Kipling cakes and put some candles in them and sang Happy Birthday to her.
At 6pm some of her friends arrived and we got ready and went up to Elie's Tent. It's a Lebanese Restaurant just up the road. There was 9 of us altogether and we sat on the sofas ready for our Banquet. The food was awesome, so tasty and so much of it. There was kebabs, hummus, falafel, lebanese bread .... so tasty. It's a Bring Your Own restaurant so we'd got loaded up with our Tooheys. After the food had been served the music came on and there was a belly dancer. She even got Ben and Emma up to dance !
Needless to say he'd had a few Tooheys by then ! She even came back and got Johnny up to dance too ... he was too good at it ! The staff there were amazing, so funny. We've got a Council Cleanup here monday so everyone is putting stuff they don't want, out onto the streets. 2 guys walked past carrying a kids slide whilst Em was having a smoke. They asked her if she wanted a go and she did, right there on the Albany Highway !! So funny ! We were ready to go and the waitresses came and thanked us for coming and showed us how to do a dance .... check out the footage !! It's actually on You tube !!
We all came back to the house afterwards and continued the drinking and chatting. Everyone left at 2ish and Em decided to get out her firesticks .... probably not wise after drinking ! Ben had a go but couldn't quite master it. Em was amazing, it was so mesmerizing. I didn't even attempt to have a go, I couldn't even twirl it right without it being lit !
When we'd finished we decided to watch Em's DVD again ...... it was 5.30am when we got to bed. Awesome !
Ben got up at 12 today. I did too and lasted 3 seconds on the chair before thinking I wasn't ready to sit up just yet and went back to bed. 3.30pm I eventually got up and had a shower to wake me up. We went for shopping and then headed to the pub for some dinner. There was a sunday session there and the guitarist was awesome. We just chilled there for a while, reading the papers. Couldn't manage a pint though !
We got back and helped Em sort some stuff out for the Council Collection tomorrow. We've just chilled out watching Biggest Loser and probably all going to bed now cos we're flagging a bit now. So impressed that Em made it work today .... not quite sure how she did it !
Got another week at the Council .... no surprise there ! I'm back with the Executive Services Department. Not many weeks left, we've really got to start planning our NZ trip !!
Hope everyones ok, we send our love to everyone !! We're both fine (apart from the hangovers!).
Bye for now ! xx
