New Year’s Eve has done me in. I’m completely knackered and, after getting home at 6.30am, have spent most of the day in bed asleep. James and I met at 7.30pm and the night finished at 5.30am te next morning. I got home at 6.30am. Whilst I wasn’t particularly smashed, I was/am zonked and in [...]
Socialising with the Adelaide boys!
Yoda and I had a fabulous time last night catching up with Darren, David & his partner Ben at the Hampshire Hotel. Paul K was supposed to come along but had some family dramas that changed his plans. It was wonderful to meet David’s partner Ben who really is a lovely guy. Darren was his [...]

Time to get back in the saddle again
Good lord! I sat on a saddle last night….and I think I liked it! Last night was my first experience of the Midnight Shift’s new ‘Saddle Bar’ and I was bloody impressed. They’ve completely reinvented the space upstairs. It’s sort of painted a bit like an old western town. Wine Barrels for tables, funky stools [...]

…and then came Sunday
…and then came the reckoning…the hangover from hell! I spent all day at home on on Sunday – in my PJs and in bed for a lot of the day. My delicate state did not leave me all day. I blame the man in this photograph. He’s a bad influence! Trent, an Aussie friend who [...]

Euroshambles at the Flinders
The cover charge was $5. I would have gladly paid $10 if they’d just given me a warning: “this will be the worst organised shambles of a Eurovision party ever. Rush home immediately and save yourself!” Actually, I’d have paid even $20 for that advice. Last night we decided to do something different for Eurovision. [...]

9 o’clock swill
“The Six o’clock swill was the last-minute rush to buy drinks at a hotel bar before it closed. During a significant part of the 20th century, Australian and New Zealand hotels shut their public bars at 6 p.m.; between finishing work (5 p.m.) and this early closing hour, men drank heavily. Six o’clock closing time [...]

Social
Just uploaded yet another new page called ‘Social’ (available from menu at the top of this page). I’ve added some pictures from last night out of the town. I intend to update it from time to time with pics from social occasions etc.

All change for The Wednesday Night Mothers Club
Since 1993, a group of my friends have generally been found at the pub on Wednesday nights. The actual pub has changed a couple of times over the years and so has the composition of the group of friends. But some constants remain the same. Barring illness or being out of town, the ‘Wednesday Night [...]

Thank God for Panadol Rapid
JudgeG was not a well boy this morning. A quiet Sunday afternoon drink with James turned into a late night taken up by much merriment and the consumption of quite a few jugs of beer. When you keep refilling the glass from a jug, you don’t really know how many you’ve had…or are having. I [...]
