Megan's 40th Birthday Party

Lets start with a big thank you to some key people who made the day great. Ian and Fay for all their wonderful help. They produced the salads and Pavlovas and many many other of those un noticed things that just make the day a pleasure.

To cybele who with very little practice performed a duet with Megan.

To Paul who had the energy and entusiasm to add to the party. The wonderful song he wrote and performed for Megan. For bringing over his TV, PS3 etc and kept the party going until (I think) the next day.

And some people who were roped in on the day - Frank Horky who carved until his hands ached and his wonderful wife Georgina who helped greatly in that regard too.

To our neighbour Cory who inspired me to do the cooking thing (was going to be a BBQ). He phoned and then drove to try an locate a mate who had a spit roast thing. In the end unsuccessful but his entusiasm inspired me to order meat and hire a roasting oven.

Finally to all our guests who made this a wonderful day for Megan.

 Meat was cooked on a gas roaster.  We had two pork roasts, two beef roasts, four lamb roasts.  Mountains of left overs.

So for once we are the ones disturbing the neighbourhood.  Paul has kindly brought over hos TV, PS3 and all the condiments.  Those with musical and dance talent (more or less) are cranking it out in our music room.  The kids are in the lounge room watching "Lady and the Tramp" on VHS.

The other party complete with its own music and games of ill repute.  Mussy has at least two aces.





















It's 11:15pm and Ellie, Jemma and Dan are screamin out the words to "Crocodile Rock"
