Its been a month since we last updated the blog and for a moment I did not think we had been up to much through May until I had a quick flick through the photo's and it turns out we did quite a bit really.
The start of the month saw us celebrating Adies birthday with dinner at the local Tavern on the Wednesday night with the kids then a return trip on the Saturday for drinks with a more adult collection of friends,I use the word adult very loosely. We had a great night with Adrienne and Niel a.k.a.Kiki Dee and Elton John getting up for a song on the Karaoke thanks several to Vodka and limes.
The same Saturday afternoon me and Niel took the boys fishing off Woody Point pier
The following weekend me and Adie headed down the Gold Coast for the weekend and left the kids at home to look after Becky and Ian!!
With tropical storms coming down from the North, the Gold Coasts beaches were left smashed and so all the beaches were closed. With no beach to sunbath on our only other options were the pubs and restaurants including a trip to one of my favourites, Hooters. The Gold Coast is a fantastic place to visit with something happening round every corner. We had a fab time even though the weather did its best to spoil it for us. Thank you Becky and Ian for having Loz and Will.
We also had a visitor this month with the arrival of Andy 'Rammo' Ramsden, my old school and footballing buddy. Rammo is the only person to come to Australia from the U.K. on holiday for a week!! Although he was only here a week he certainly crammed in the site seeing to say the least, including a visit to Montville, Malany, Mapleton, Mooloolaba and Australia Zoo in one day and was still back in North Lakes by 3.00 pm in time for our after works drinks!! It would take most normal people 3 days to visit those places.
Last Saturday we paid a visit to Niel and Claire's for their house warming, another night of alcohol fuelled fun and festivities. They have built there lovely new home about a mile away from us on North Lakes, we were just glad we booked a taxi to get home as I think we would still be walking home now thanks to the liqueur consumption.
With Becky and Ian staying over at ours that night the drinks started to flow again once we got home with flaming Sambuccas being the drink of choice, some people just don't know when they have had enough. Well some people do don't they Becks!!! Its when you have to run to the toilet to chuck up. LOL
No real damage though as she couldn't remember anything about it the next morning.
