Busy Little Bee

Well it’s been a busy two weeks since I last posted on here. Sorry to leave you all in the lurch. I realise I’ve been pretty slack with emails lately too, sorry bout that. Gotta get my priorities right! Anyways, things have been full on in life at the mo. Last weekend was cadets Friday night, followed by a Farscape sesh with Ruth. I didn’t last very long, but I think she was glad to have Ben to herself, although judging by the kicks I received she wasn’t too happy that I fell asleep on the couch!

On Saturday Ruth endured the very unpleasant activity of accompanying me as I shopped for an outfit. I don’t think she will ever do that again. We won tennis, just. I think it was five games the difference or something. Saturday night Blake & I went on a double, or rather triple date, with Tan and her friend Justin and Justin’s cousin Leah and her partner. We went to the Barking Dog for dinner and then back to Tan’s for some drinks.

Stayed out at Blake’s place Saturday night. He is currently living on his Pop’s 400 acre farm in Moddewarre. For those of you who don’t know, Moddewarre (pronounced Moddaworry) it’s kinda between Geelong and Anglesea or Geelong and Colac. Didn’t get to see much of the farm as it was dark when we got there and we had to leave pretty much straight after we got up on Sunday, but I s’pose there will be time for that this weekend.

On Sunday I sacrificed picking Melz up at the airport and went to Kay and Darrell’s housewarming BBQ instead. Melz wasn’t very happy bout that, but she got over it. The BBQ was a load of fun, most of the people there were from the tennis club, which was fantastic. They are such a supportive group of people. It really is like having a second family. Stayed at the BBQ fairly late and had quite a few drinks (well I had a few drinks, Blake was driving). I think we stayed until the last five people or so. Went home, copped the flak from Melz, which was probably deserved, and got ready for another week of work.

The week went fairly smoothly. I won’t bore you with the details about work and besides I could be here for hours if I started on that. Both Melz and Blake had to ease their way back into their jobs. Melz after two weeks in Thailand, Blake after three weeks holiday. I guess they both coped okay.

This weekend was another busy one - I’m about ready to curl into a ball and crash. Friday night was cadets, as usual. Found out that our cadet leader Leon is the Uncle of the girl whose 21st Blake and I went to last night. Yesterday Melz and I spent about six hours at the shops getting an outfit for said semi-formal 21st . I didn’t play tennis as we have four ladies and it was my week out. Also, it meant we had more time for shopping – which we all know I love and adore! :) Uh huh!

So, last night we went to Ruth’s party at The Cremorne, where we had a lovely dinner, before heading off to the 21st. It was a great night. I met heaps of people - all of Blake’s sort of extended family. They are friends of his parents who have known each other for some twenty or maybe even thirty years or so and many of their kids grew up together. I even ran into some people I knew, including Leon and his wife Helen.

Today Blake drove Melz, Mat and myself up to Melbourne for Mother’s Day. We spent the afternoon at Nan’s with Mum, Dad, Nan, Russell, Jenny, Andrew, Jessica and Leigh. It was a really nice, lazy way to spend the day in the company of family, eating, chatting and then walking off all the food.

Tonight I’m exhausted and may even be in bed before midnight – amazing! Another long, boring week of work ahead, but who knows what it will hold. More social activities this weekend – Blake’s organising a bonfire party at the farm for Saturday, plus there is the usual tennis, cadets etc. Melz will be sailing to Apollo Bay and back on Saturday, so I think she will be recovering all day Sunday, as she is already a little sick.

So that has been my life is the last two weeks… sorry it’s written in such a rush. Just wanted to fill you all in, hope life is treatin’ you as kindly as it is me at the mo. All of you take care and keep smilin’.

Pics up when I figure out what's happenin with blogger. Cheers!
