We had a full on weekend which took me until Tuesday to recover from. On Saturday after more cute, tutu-related action at Flo's dance class we went over the bridge to see our fantastic friends Jules and Lenka. For reasons that escape us all we haven't made time to catch up with one another since last year. Pre children, Jules and Lenka were among a small group who took part in what became known as "the best weekend ever" several years ago when Rick was over from the UK. The weekend in question involved bbqs, drinking and an amazing day in the surf at Palm Beach.
Post children we have a lots of laughs together too, but the kids don't drink as much as we do. On Saturday afternoon we caught up over a few wines and a pretty damn good fillet steak cooked by Lenka. On Sunday with more wet weather, we pottered about at home making and decorating a cardboard castle. In the afternoon we had Julia over with the girls (her wicked husband having absconded to LA for work), alongwith Chris and Stef O'Brien and their kids GG and Harrison. It's the same story with the O'Briens, we used to see so much of each other but with the advent of kids starting school and us all back at work there never seems to be enough time. For reasons that also escape me, I didn't take any photos of either event. As a result you will have to imagine us throwing our heards back with laughter, telling hilarious stories, pausing only to chew and sip wine. Instead here's a photo of the girls sharing a cuddle on the couch during Play School. Surprisingly there are several times a day when they stop hitting each other over the head with saucepans, which sends Flo off looking for a secret hiding place, play well and show genuine affection for one another.
