Catching Up

All back together, five of us again. We picked up a beast on Thursday and began the laborious task of packing it away. This is how much Megan wanted to help.

This is how much she actually helped - she bagged one whole box of mince (slowly) then cooked us fresh rib fillet for dinner.

There were a lot of sausages...........

After doing his RSA, Drew got a job at a local bottleshop, Saturdays from 2-7. Meg went looking for a job too, to tide her over while she finishes her Masters degree and lives at home; she started today as a waitress at a local hotel, serving meals. She did plenty of that when she worked at IGC during Uni so shouldn't have any problems. After four months of doing very little, rejoining the workforce may take some getting used to.

Gibbo played cricket again yesterday, this time for Dalby against his other team, the QCC. There was plenty of sledging of course - and Dalby won. We supplied the meat for a bbq last night at Mary's.

We had an extra four young men here on Friday night and yesterday, friends of Meg and Chris'. They were all going to a 21st at Kingaroy last night and the boys came to stay with us a day early and catch up with each other after their Canada trip (they all came back on separate flights over a two week period). We had nibblies and cob loaf and bbq-ed on Friday night, bacon and eggs for brekky, a cake for morning tea, 18 rounds of sandwiches for lunch then a batch of jam drops plus chips for afternoon tea. Eat - I've never seen anything quite like it! I was amazed. It was a pleasure to have them. After lunch yesterday they picked up the didgeridoo and were really quite good; then Drew had a go and he made it talk! I'm going to encourage him to play it every day for 5-10 minutes.

I've got next week off and thought I'd get the lunching girls over on Wednesday. I want to try out the eggnet salad recipe that I found on the internet - it was my favourite dish when we went to Longrain in Melbourne last year during the Australian Open. I think we'll have pork wontons for entree and I haven't decided on dessert yet. I also need to get the spraying done, do Gibbo's passport application and pick up some Euro and GBP.
