Our great friends Jo and Mark are about to move out of their amazing rented house in Rose Bay after more than 10 years. It's been a great entertaining house over the years with its gorgeous grounds and a huge verandah allowing lots of rainy day lunches under cover. With Jo being of Greek heritage and Mark having unusually large hands, they decided to have a double celebration - the last hurrah at the house and to celebrate Greek Easter. We thought it was to be an intimate lunch for a few friends but it somehow - thanks to facebook perhaps - became a party for more than 100 people. There were kids everywhere, tables heaving under the weight of food, huge tubs of ice full of wine and beer and a massive lamb roasting on a spit. As the day progressed slices of lamb were cut off and we helped ourselves to kebabs of lamb, tomatoes, hommous and cucumber. It was a fantastic afternoon celebrating old friendships and new beginnings. Huzzah.
In other news, Rob's Grizzly Adams phase has finally come to an end. After a fortnight of dedicated beard growing, with accompanying scratching and unwitting food storage, Rob went to a barber yesterday for a shave and a haircut, instantly taking 10 years of his appearance. Ah, so that's the secret of looking younger. Now where did I put those testosterone tablets....
