It feels like we haven’t stopped since the day we flew to Queensland about ten days ago. We left the house on Saturday morning to go to our friend Jack’s fifth birthday.

The day began with what seem like masses of four and five year olds refusing to partipate in musical chairs,
“It’s like herding cats,” sighed father of Jack.
The day ended after a grand BBQ dinner with a screening of Napolean Dynamite, which was largely hysterical. We followed it up with the Comic Relief episode of Little Britain, and went to sleep feeling full. Oh the sleeping! The wonders of a foam mattress that boasts some actual density! I spent at least ten minutes lying awake wondering why I couldn’t feel my hip driving into the floor the way it does when we sleep on our mattress in the van. Three words. Dense. Foam. Rubber. Three more words. Buy. One. NOW.

After a lovely sleep, we headed off to midday strawberry daquiris at Al’s 18th birthday party - where people bashed pinyada’s, and in the 15 hours that the party went for, blew the stereo speakers and drained a keg. There was mad dancing and one requisite spectacular spew. Bed at 3am and awake at 9am to help eat the fablous breakfast that was concocted as if by magic.

We limped home to trailer oasis in the mid afternoon. M had a lot more energy than me and went off to shedland to do some boat building. I languished on the couch with a book. I can hardly bear to think about going to work in the morning. Ack.
