BACK TO LIFE....

Been awhile since we've blogged just random thoughts - we've been kinda doing mainly backlogged photoblogging these days... Can't help it, been going nuts with the new camera... But we're back. Woke up a wee bit fragile after the shennanigans at Matt's BBQ last night, which was held in honour of the important occasion that is better known as "being able to secure a pit". Heh. Actually, it was because Simon Wilcox - former colleague of all of ours - was in town, so Matt did the honours. It was a laugh and a half. Dionne churned out some great eats. Tah Nee (jap chap from earlier posts) showed up in his Jap-o clogs, bearing teriyaki and sake... Pete made chicken masala and mash, and Sharm made us all proud with her first ever spud salad, which turned out really yum. There was heaps more from everyone else but I'm getting hungry just talking about it so will shut up before I end up demanding supper right this very minute. There was a fair bit of damage done though... We had to call it a night a remotely decent hour, not a bad thing, really, coz Huge Cow (alias Hugh) was getting in from HK. Twas great to see him again - especially for Pete, since the last time the two were together was when Mr Chow flew in for just one night to give us a bottle of champers and have a bit of a laugh the night before the wedding. We were blown away. His boss back then was a bit of a cow and so he couldn't get in for any of the main events.... But he could make it in for just that night. Fab chap. Eight hours of travel for one night of damage (and you could see it in Pete's eyes as I lovingly accepted him as my husband!! Actually I accepted him as my "wife" thanks to the Justice of Peace... But that's a story I don't really wanna recount). Anyways, it called for a big ole catch up session on the Perch. Big ole headache this morning. Ah well, you pay the price. He'll be here for a bit this time, which is nice. And his other half's flying in on the weekend, so that's something to look forward to. Trivia for the day: We stumbled on this uber weird (yet mildly entertaining) site: Blogthings for stuff you can chuck on your blog... Today's entertainment: Pete n Me decided to find out our Hawaiin names... And .... *drumroll* Pete's: Your Hawaiian Name is: Mamo Meka & Art's: Your Hawaiian Name is: Alana Nalani What's" your Hawaiian Name? Sounds almost Sindhi... Alana Nalani Williams?? Hmm.... Might stick to Art.
