Ribbons and Birthdays

Well it has been a busy few days.

First of all on Thursday night I met June and Jim from The Bill – pic coming soon. Yes I was a sad Bill tragic but so what – you only live once!

Then on Friday, Hugo had his first ever swimming carnival and won a ribbon in every race!

He was delighted with himself and so were we! Well done Huge.

On Friday our nephew Logan turned one. We went up for a few drinks with Mark and Mads and the birthday boy. Here is Godfather and Godson…

Then Mum and Dad took the kids down south where they are having a great time – going fishing today on Uncle Vern’s boat will be… interesting!

So Rory and I have been on our own…

Yesterday we went down to the newly opened University Club which is where the Rugby Oval used to be on campus. It is a lovely building – very sixties in decor – well kind of modern sixties if you know what I mean. There are several function rooms and a members dining area as well as the cafe. Yesterday was an open day. Bevan is already a member and I’m joining too. We’ll see how much we use it.

In fact we used it almost immediately because we ended up going to see Kil Wil - the new Wil Anderson show at the Octagon Theatre. We enjoyed it although felt a bit old thinking to ourselves “Does he really have to swear in every sentence?” It just loses the impact of the swearing I think. He seemed completely hyper – more hyper than when I saw him during a taping of The Glass House. Still some very funny lines… his show has been extended til next weekend.

And after we went to Cello’s – a restaurant in Nedlands – which was quite nice… nothing really outstandingly special. The service was good – better than many – the food was good. Paper napkins – always a downer. I shouldn’t really rate restaurants on the type of napkins they provide but hey, that’s just the kind of superficial chick I am!

Today… no plans. Maybe I’ll read my book…
