The Matrix Bird and Silent Ninja's!

+ Spent over 6 hours in the sun waiting for cement to be poured

+ You know those contractors you see standing on the side of a road not doing anything wearing a hard hat, bright yellow or orange (mine was yellow) protective vest, ear plugs and steal cap boots. That was me all day Monday.

+ I have been teased for having 'a farmers tan'.

+ I participated in a Geological Field Trip over Tuesday and Wednesday which entailed climbing rock, looking at rocks, touching rocks and climbing rocks.

+ Birds are very odd creatures. Witnessed a long tailed bird just hovering just over the cliff face - The Matrix Bird!

+ Lunch was at Coolangatta Vineyard. The greatest tasting plate complemented by

+ I have been nicknamed 'Diva 2' by my boss, whooo hooo I'm not the most diva-ish!

+ Dinner with work colleagues on Tuesday night was at a gorgeous quaint restaurant Seagrass Brasserie. The food was divine, Butterflied Roasted Quail with Celeriac Puree & Mediterranean Capsicum Jam for entree followed by delicious Seared Ocean Trout Fillet with an Asparagus & Macadamia Salsa and Spanner Crab Aioli and dessert... I ordered a limon and lime tart and went halves with one of the Geo's wicked nutty chocolate. After finding the website I now know why.

+ Apparently I now have the respect of many of my colleagues based on my alcohol consumption. Well lets see the count. Ha lost count of white wine that was continuously filled during the evening. Dessert wine. It was time to go, 3/4 bottle of Cab Sav but, one catch no glasses... I was sharing the wine 'out of the bottle' with a couple of the guys. Buy wait there's more. I ended up sitting on the balcony of the 'big bosses' hotel room with a bottle of wine from the vineyard with a couple of the Geo's, everyone hammered! Some of the guys from the plant sneaking into the room NINJA!

+ People were talking about me on the trip - I was told to 'be careful, just be careful'

+ We went on a cruise to see cliff faces for the detailed rock formations dolphins and whales. Ohhh too hungover to be on the sea. We went past the heads onto the open sea Arhhh!

+ I was looking forward to coming home. Plans to see RR. I introduced him to semi- traditional Czech Cuisine. He likes. We shared a bottle of red and went back to his place for House and Prison Break... Another late, late night. Must stay in tonight. Must.

Happy B-Day...

Why is it that I suspect that you happened to look far better than the people pouring concrete in my neighborhood?
