Today M'lords and M'Ladies is the Queens Birthday Weekend...
Australia, as a Commonwealth country gets today off despite a) we pretty much all want to be a republic in our own right and b) today isnt actually the Queen's real birthday.
But it is a day off, so we'll take it!
It is reason to celebrate as Paris remains in custody (the evil girl that she is) and the world is safe at least for the next 40 odd days... amazing how a spoilt rich girl gets so many headlines given the worlds problems...
The rains in New South Wales have abated for the time being and whilst us people in the mountains were not in danger of flooding, I was joking the other night that there was so much water falling from the sky that I thought my property may soon have water views - despite its 230m odd elevation above greater Sydney! hehe!
Today has been a lazy day... I have glued and pinned some blood bowl minis (a Minotaur and a Beast of Nurgle to be precise) and am still painting the orcs slowly for my mate Noyz. Kate has a ballet exam practice this afternoon and I am waiting to watch my Dragons take on the Cronulla Sharks in the NRL match this evening... and thats about it, nothin' else happening but I did just return from the Village shops were I picked up a Cappuccino... love winter holiday afternoon's in the mountains :)
Yesterday, we went to Tommy's son Asher's 5th birthday party. Super Hero theme and Batman turned up to entertain the kids! He's a comic mate of Tommy's who does kids parties in a variety of costumes... he was excellent and had a pretty well done Batman costume and entertained the kids non-stop for over an hour. He was then off to do another party as a Mutant Ninja Turtle apparently.
Saturday was pouring rain and we basically did Sweet FA apart from visiting friends Julie & Con in the morning and Niki's parents in the afternoon...
Been a very relaxing weekend... should be more of them!
