Southern Courier 90th Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Last Sunday the Southern Courier local newspaper put on a party for their 90th birthday.
The prospect of free food and entertainment always gets the attention of our barkada and so it was that I joined Gina and all our hordes of kids down at Maroubra Beach, early enough to get a half decent carpark.
Despite being there 90 minutes prior to the actual event, parking was at a premium. Thankfully we found some space on a grassy area where other fed up motorists had taken to parking.
It was a true wonder that the Randwick Council parking Nazis were not out in force raising revenues by thousands of dollars. One is certain Botany Council's money scrounging Mayor would not have missed such a great opportunity.

An hour was spent on the beach while the kids swam and Stephanie Rice received much media coverage over a recent donation to the surf life saving club there.
Despite numerous attempts, we never got an answer from dear ol Analiza regarding her expected time of arrival there. We had gone by 8pm, so hopefully she didn't show after that :-)

A quick look at the events they had on offer lead to a cameo appearance by our beloved little Anabelle. Although we didn't get to spend time with her, Mr Perfect would never allow that (we tend to poison minds with truth), it was great to see her out and about enjoying the function with her kids.

Twas then we headed back to the surf life saving club to have some lunch and then met up with Enday and Honey (along with their endlessly gossiping mate Lisa). Two hours or so after that and both Gina and myself are also joined by our respective asawas for the rest of the afternoon.

Anyway I am due to go to work, so please enjoy the following shots from the day.

Someone had been naughty. Either that or someones boyfriend was keeping an eye on us :-)

Gina's hat enjoyed the band so much it threw itself at the stage.

The gang!

The forever beautiful little Honey.

Even the other attending hornbags were having fun.

Dancing to a band other than the Kamis. Streeeewth!
