Happy Easter!

Happy Easter all! I hope you all had a safe one, and aren't feeling too sick from all the chocolate!




I had a great, but very busy Easter. I flew to Melbourne the weekend before Easter for a friends birthday - after which I promised to never drink again! So happy birthday Gaz!


Popped down to see Mum on Monday night before dropping Murray off at work, and after that he returned to Sydney until Easter.


I spent the week living it up on my own! Well... it was hardly living it up... work mostly - and my nights were filled to the brim with catching up with friends and family. It was really great - but I think I may have spread myself too thinly.


Friday night (Good Friday) was Mary's birthday, so happy birthday Mary! And we went out for dinner. Went to the Berwick Inn which was somewhat disapointing for everyone. With several takeovers in the last few years its really gone downhill there... it used to be much better than a regular pub meal... I wouldn't really recommened it these days.


I was the only person going to hell at our table, I had red meat on Good Friday. But it was Kangaroo, and it was delish! I figure that Jesus didn't know what Kangaroo was so that doesn't count. Right?


That night we headed off to a housewarming party - where I can say that we sufficiently warmed the house. Again - for the second weekend in a row - after a bottle of red I can say that I'm never drinking again! It was a great night though and fantastic to see everyone again.


I slept my way through most of Saturday, and after much deliberation I headed down to Mums late Saturday night. It was the best I'd felt all day. I wanted to wake up at Mums on Sunday morning so that I didn't miss the Easter Bunny!


For Easter Sunday we had the biggest "afternoon tea" I've ever seen. Between people working and us having to catch flights we could do neither lunch or dinner - so we had Roast Lamb and Roast Chicken at 4pm! As always, Mum put on a great spread of food for all 1o of us! Mum, Jeremy and his girlfriend Amy, Molly and her boyfriend Alex plus a 'homeless' friend Tiff, Myself and Murray, plus his Mum and Uncle! Phew!


After eating ourselves silly it was finally time to head off to the airport to come home to Sydney. I was really looking forward to it - it was great to see everyone, but probably even better to come home. All the Easter Eggies came with me as hand luggage, and I'm sure that the overhead cabbins that night were a chocoholics dream.


Today we had a blog day and did as little as possible, which was lovely. I can't believe I have to get back into work tomorrow - I wish I had another week off now! But thats always the way isn't it?

Good to see you returned home safely. Even if you are going to "hell" :D

Pity about the pub though :(
