Overcast
morning then some rain showers came over.
Baked
Anzac cookies and made Nuts and Bolts for our trip and for Mum and Dad.
Worked
on my blog – should catch up before we leave!!
The
sky has cleared and it is very windy after lunch so hopefully it should be fine
for Brian’s party tonight.
Greg
came over with the Tarago again so we could all go to the party together. I had
arranged with all the family to meet half an hour early so we could get some
Geck family photos. Jodie’s boyfriend, Bryan, had my camera and took some great
photos. Will get some more off Jodie when she sorts out hers as she has a big
flash camera.
The
Gecks - Terry and his sister Maralyn with all their families.
Then
we did each family etc.
The marquee made a good backdrop.
The Cousins and the Second Cousins.
Brian
has a couple of chaps to play live music and the kids have organised a slide
show of Brian’s photos.
Steve,
Greg and David were on the BBQ. Jon kept an eye on the proceedings.
Everyone
had a great feed then Brian thanked everyone for coming. Erica and Terry spoke
then Jodie, Stephanie and Samuel did a ‘this is your life’ for Brian.
Time
for cake .
Kellie
had taken photos so I borrowed them off Facebook. Her son Liam sang a Michael
Jackson song with the band – not bad, got the right moves.
Steve
dropped Mum and Dad home and was gone a long time. When he returned he said he
had to ‘deal’ with a snake that had gotten into the house and was curled up in
the corner of the toilet. Steve loves snakes – not!!
We
had a great night chatting with lots of old friends as well as family. Steve
met a lady who he met in Grade 8 and they both recognised each other. A couple
showers of rain passed over so it was great Brian had the marquee.
We
helped clean up and bit and left the younger and young at heart to continue
partying on. Back home just before midnight. The curlews have had a chick and
didn’t want us getting to near as we drove into the driveway. The parent spread
his wings to try and scare us off.
Just
after midnight I sent Brian a happy birthday text as he is now officially 50.
