Tomorrow night Hatch celebrates her 18 th. birthday*, at a shared party with her mate who is also 18. They've hired the "Pirate Party Boat" for the night.
Hen and Hatch are currently getting ship's provisions cooked and sorted, and a fair amount of grog is part of the booty.
There will be kareoke and other such entertainments. We're hoping it's all that she wants and wil be a great memory for many years to come.
*We had a quiet family celebration at Rubicon the other night.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”
Remember this was a joint 18th birthday party for two girls, 40 spotty adolescents on a boat with a free bar.
No one got hammered and passed out/threw up. There were no major split ups, no fights, most remained sober. Definitely no evidence of any Persians having been consumed, all over by 10.00 pm.

No examples of fervent groping/tongue hockey spotted.
Most interestingly for me, stacks of the beers and wine, we had bought in, left over.
All for me now!

Ha!! that's what I had for my main course Joe, you are obviously a man of taste!
(It was bloody lovely too.)

As a side note, a friend of mine that I've not been able to convince to try Vegemite was at a doctor appointment today. The conversation somehow got around to me trying to convince her to taste Vegemite and she asked the doctor if he had ever tried it.
He went out of the room and came back with this...
He said that a friend of his had visited him from Australia and had given it to him. He gave it to her to give to me because he was afraid to taste it.
I'd think seriously about making a meal from the cheeses, a little fruit and bread, and of course some good red wine.

Yes, but they ASKED us to be there!?!?!?!? Weird!!!

That picture made me laugh...the girl in the magenta dress (with everyone else in black or gray) makes me think of the old "one of these things is not like the rest" game.
