Iona's Bridal Shower

It's only a week away, so a Bridal Shower was held for Iona on Saturday. It was a pretty low key affair which was great for a lazy Saturday afternoon. We started off with a few party games at Hazel's house and then made our way to Continental Cafe at New Farm for a late lunch and a few beverages. Looking forward to the wedding next weekend.

"The Ashes" - First Day

It was the most anticipated match of the summer - the first day of the Ashes series at the Gabba. Nat, Sean and I joined a capacity crowd - including an overwhelming showing from the Barmy Army, and perfect weather - albiet a little hot at 32 degrees. With the Aussies winning the toss, Australia elected to bat and sent Hayden and Langer in as openers. After Hayden was dismissed, Punter stepped in to take charge of the match posting a superb century in the first innings, and only falling 4 runs short of double tonne on day 2. All in all, it was a great day out.

Australia VS Great Britain Test Match

With Ben back on Aussie soil, it was only fitting that we go along to the test match at Suncorp. Great Britain needed to win to make the final, and with the Aussies have never lost 2 consecutive matches to the Poms there was a lot at stake. It was a great game with the Aussies leading all the way. And with an amazing effort on the final siren (90 metre try intiaited by Locky) the Aussies are all set to take on NZ in the final.

On A Night Like This... KYLIE

It's been a long time coming, but finally Kylie's Showgirl Tour came to BrisVegas! It was an awesome night and we had amazing seats. One of the best show's I've ever been to, although we'll have to wait and see how Robbie stacks up. The costumes and sets were fantastic... check out the photos....

The Other Sister

Well baby Meegs... here is a blog all to yourself!! If you didn't realise, Lisa was helping set this up and posted the Sisters entry herself. She was trying to have a party online without you... so if you're mad at anyone it should be her!! To my other bestest pal....

Party all together...

Dinner with Ben

It seems that London has followed Ben back downunder... yesterday it was a very cool 24 degrees in Brisbane and it even snowed in Melbourne and Canberra!! This morning we woke to find that it had snowed in Stanthorpe overnight... that has never happened in November before... EVER!! What is with the crazy weather??

As a traditional welcome back to Aus, Ben came round for a hearty meal and Amazing Race party. Ben decided to test out his new toy from Singapore so here is a photo of me in the kitchen making our dinner last night.

After dinner Ben continued to test out his new flash... it's pretty impressive. Check out the colours in the photos... unfortunatley 9.30pm on a Thursday is not a great time to take my picture!!

We watched the Amazing Race (with snacks of course!). It was great to catch up with Ben.

Sisters

Lisa (the one who inspired me for this blog) and Me.... one of my bestest pals ever!!!

Melbourne Cup

The race that stops the nation - Melbourne Cup 2006. Great day out at Doomben races. Even managed to get a spot on the evening news! Almost came in with the riches... had 2nd and 3rd! Here is a photo of Nat and I enjoying a glass of bubbly on the lawn. We finished the day off with a swim at Struggle St - Matt and Dan's (pictured below) place at Bulimba.

My First Blog

So I've followed in Ben and Lisa's footsteps and started my own blog. Not sure how long this will be around for... I'm sure the novelty will wear off at some point!! This is probably better than photosite though, cause I can access it from work! So expect to see new posts when I am procrastinating!! Look forward to keeping everyone updated on new adventures. Love Tash xo
