Me in Afrikaburn costume

 It was so much fun to dress up.

Afrikaburn braai

We all met up at Rob and Dawn's place to plan and get to know each other. It's going to be a beautiful group.
 

Gavin's Xmas party

 The annual party dressed in my usual garb ("Rocker with a Mullet"!)  The food as usual was stupendous.

Hiking Xmas party in Newtown

What a fun night out!!

Any excuse to wear my mullet and have hair again!

Gavin and I "hunking" it up for Elna to make her cousin jealous!

The food at the Thai restaurant was sensational!!

What better way to finish a night out than an 80's milkshake and chocolate crepe at Max Brenner.

Andreas's belated 50 th and Octoberfest Party.

As usual, the kids had a ball!

Partying in The Blue Mountains

The theme of Dani's 40th party was The 80's. I went as a punk rocker with a huge mullet.  It was a wonderful experience having so much hair!!

Highlights of the weekend

• The great house that we rented for the weekend.
• Going up on the Friday afternoon and buying alcohol for the party.
• A lovely meal at a lovely Italian restaurant we'd been to before on our previous weekend here.
• A short walk with a couple of Dani's friends on Saturday morning.
• Setting up the house for the party with streamers and balloons.
• Playing tennis with glasses of Pims in the afternoon (great fun.)
• Having a big laugh putting on my costume with a mullet and skin tight leopard pants.
• Everyone arriving for the party - a lovely group of people as you'd expect being Dani's friends.
• Seeing everyone's costumes; lots of great ones. 
• Barbecuing for the whole group.  I've never cooked so much meat in one go before, challenging with all the different varieties with different cook times!
• The party itself, lots of fun with lots of 80's music.  I had a long stint at being the DJ.
• Dani's great cake that her best friend an made her - a rubik's cube!
• Helping to clear up the next day. Many hands made light work.
• A nice walk on the Sunday with some of Dani's friends.
