Abbey's Birthday


My birthday ends... and Abbey's begins! Abbey held a birthday bash in conjunction with a housewarming for her brothers new apartment at Clayfield. With the Anzac Day public holiday the next day, Sach, Sarah and I had a few drinks and nibbles to celebrate Abbey's birthday.

My Birthday!


After a lovely breakfast at Watt on the weekend, I had a pretty quiet 28th birthday on Monday. Although, I did receive a lovely surprise delivery after lunch! I am very spoilt.

Birthday Breakfast

Happy Birthday to me! For an early morning breakfast celebration Nat, Abbey, Sarah, Iona, Megan, Amber & I headed to Watt at New Farm last Saturday. We had a lovely (and surprisingly cheap) breakfast, although for some reason they just didn't seem to be able to master a cup a green tea - sorry Iona! Anyway we were having a lovely girlie breakfast, made even more lovelier by an appearance from Jamie Charman (Brisbane Lions ruckman for those who may not know). A great way to celebrate a birthday!

Happy Birthday Lisa!

A quick blog entry to say.... Lisa it's your birthday, Happy Birthday Lisa! Hope you and Ben are having a wonderful time in Prague. I look forward to the blog update....

Megan's Graduation


The little baby of the family is all grown up. Megan's university graduation ceremony was held at the Lyric Theatre at Southbank where we all ventured along to see Meg in her cap and gown receive her Education degree! She had her two minutes of fame on stage, and after we waited for the few hundred others to receive their qualifications, we headed to Freestyle for so much needed dessert! Plenty of snaps were taken to commemorate the occasion.
Congratulations Meg!!

Farewell Vossy!


The traditional pre-easter game at The Gabba saw Vossy farewelled in fine form. A capacity crowd cheered Michael Voss on his lap of honour around the ground. Vossy announced his retirement from AFL prior to the pre-season, and what better way that to send him off in style. Coincidently, I has purchased boundary tickets for the game and got a up close and personal encounter!

The Lions then went on to thrash St Kilda - a great start to the season so far!

AFL Season... Round 1 Lions vs Hawthorne

Go Lions... Brisbane Lions... Round 1 of the AFL season kicked off at the Gabba on Saturday night with Brisbane playing Hawthorne. And the best part of all - the return of Brownie! The Lions played a great game (possibly even reminiscent of previous more favourable years) and ran away with the match. It was great to sing the song again!



And then continue our end of match tradition with a beer or two at the German Club. Hooray for football!

Nat's Birthday


Nat's Birthday was celebrated in style with a lovely dinner at the Gun Shop Cafe at West End. Renowned for their breakfast menu, we thought we'd give it a try for dinner and it didn't disappoint! After an earlier stop for me at the Regatta to congratulate Martin and Mel on their engagement, I met Nat, Sean and few of their friends for dinner. We had some great food and a few nice glasses of wine. After dinner we checked our Uber, which was just around the corner, but it wasn't really our kind of place. A quick lap around the Valley soon ruled out any other adventures (who lines up for clubs in Brisbane???) so we called it a night.


On Nat's actual birthday the following Wednesday I joined the Avsenev and Furner families for some Italian at New Farm - followed by a dessert stop for gelati. Happy Birthday Nat!
