Hello

Hey guys, thanks for the invite to join your blog! Loves the pics of Wagstaffe. Hope Claires black eyes are getting better. You didn't walk into a door did you? Take care S xx

BUBBLY AND GRUB IN BONDI

I was having a few schooners in Surry Hills with the G-Man when he suddenly remembered we were meant to be in Bondi for dinner.

So when Claire joined us, we jumped in a cab and met Ian, Cat and Gareth (old mates from BBH).

Gaz having a little tipple.

I'll have what he's having.

I'll have what she's having.

(which means I'll have what he's having)

Cheers.

What are you doing G?

MY POOR CLAIRE.

It is actually getting better. 

But poor little Claire is still not a happy bunny.

She's still the most beautiful woman in the world though. 

SYDNEY MARDI GRAS 2009

Ahhh, the girls getting ready.

The results of the curlers and a trowel of make-up.

Nice tutus. The SJP Uniform.

The 'Sexy' and the City float. Claire and Kat 

are 2nd and 3rd from the front.

And here they are leaving us.

No, it wasn't Ben. Here, I took one for the gays.  Some idiot -

before we had even started - launched a bottle into the 

performance area and I was in the wrong place at the wrong

time. But ... the show must go on.

A WEDNESDAY NIGHT BBQ.

You know how it is.... 

You're sitting around, looking across at 

the bridge ....

.. down the jetty....

You think, why don't we have a BBQ.

Then loads of people turn up...

Ok it wasn't that easy, but it sort of was.

Ben and the Bear.

Danny, Tash and Liz.

Gaz and Cand are also in town. 

And the rest of the gang. (Kat what are you doing.)

Ahh isn't everyone lovely.

THE RED BUILDING.

A quick one.

This is our flat looking from Double Bay. 

Its the one in the centre of the shot. 

We're 4 floors down from the top.

Miss ya's.

PRETTY BEACH NEAR WOY WOY.

So after Palm Beach we went to meet Sidonie and John. 

And her uncle and Aunt. And her friends. At her uncle's place. 

In Pretty Beach Near Woy Woy.

We got lost. And then worked out where we were going.

 Then got lost again.

We arrived with only minutes to shower and change 

before we went out to the local pub. 

For some awesome grub.

Has Sid got some horns.

After a night of alcohol and Balderdash we hit the sack. 

And woke up to these little fellows outside the window.

We then headed past Pretty Beach to..........

.......Killcare.

Ahh lovely Claire.

And the view.

13 year old life savers. Oh can you imagine 

the embarrassment if needing to be saved by them.

A blue bottle stinger. OUCH.

The gang.

The Girls.

The view as we left.

"HOME & AWAY .....WITH YOU EACH DAY"

It's Saturday morning. You look out of the window and the sun is shining. So what do you fancy doing today? Well why don't we hire a car and drive up to where Home and Away is filmed?

It's not called Summer Bay - though part of it might be. 

It's actually called Palm Beach. And it's lovely.

We me Danny and Tash (Liz's friends from home who've moved out here) and their little daughter Anais. (Ahhhh) at the beach.

Then instead of taking a 20 minute ferry across the water we embarked on a 2 hour drive round to Woy Woy...........

A LITTLE TIPPLE IN PADDO.

It's Liz's first Friday in Sydney. 

So we thought we'd have a little pub crawl 

and see where it took us ...

It stared here. (Note without Me -Ben.)

Neil and Sonya joined us. 

(Kat and Chris are somewhere about)

Oh there's Cat (and Liz) the little Angels

 -with their Halo. 

Ahhhh.

LIZ IS HERE.

Unfortunately I wasn't here to meet her. I know, how crap am I? Claire met Liz at the Airport and I arrived back from a shoot a day later.

Anyway, she's here for a couple of weeks so hopefully we'll get up to some fun.
