OMG forgot to tell you, Polly did us proud
At the grand prix, she won an award for the best marshalling team!!
I took some phots of her recieving the award, but they were crap, due to me having to stand on a very wibbily chair to be able to see
WELL DONE POLL xxxxxx

The Bloke can't talk, he had a few himself, and was spotted boogying on the dance floor with hevs several times throughout the evening!
Quite a surprise to get an award I must say, apparently we worked really well as a team. Made the sore feet worthwhile anyway!

Well, the Grand Prix was carefully organised so that we were on different points (hence my team won an award, and The Bloke's didn't! tee hee ) so we spent most of the day apart..... having said that, The Bloke did ask his point chief if he could come down and join me! Ahhhhhhh!!!
So we had to make up for it in the evenings! One spent at Hev's having a riotous bbq, one spent down at St Kilda beach in the bar where we first got to know each other 3 years ago (this is getting very soppy!), then a few early nights during the race meeting(Thurs-Sun). Sunday night there was a party for all the officials and their specially chosen guests (free food and drink, Hevs and Badge were there like a shot!).
Slightly unconventional honeymoon, but great fun, and very appropriate as we met when we were both in Melbourne for the race in 2001.

Pollyanna knows the 7th verse, or something, to 'Summer of '69' so she was equally impressive. Me - I did my bit for Anglo-Australian relations.

Have to say, I went out last night after work for a guy's retirement do......there was me thinking Hooray, party time! But no, we all trooped up the road to the local bar, and then sat very sedately round two long tables, talking politely about work and eating some small nibbles. The guys were quite worried about me drinking Cascade Premium, cos they thought it might be too strong for me, and the rule semed to be that you could only put two little bites of food on your plate at any one time.........
For the first time in my life I left while the party was still in full swing (after only an hour in fact!)........made me appreciate last weekend even more! Get me back to the rock music and the non-stop booze!

Hi Pollyanna, Tinaj and Badgers
Great to see you on the threads again. Glad everything went well for the wedding and the honeymoon sounded crazy Jealous of you at the formula 1 I must say wish we were there.
How are you ALL getting settled life has been one long DIY for us - except a short cruise to Hong Kong in the middle - back now to lawn mowing - tree transplanting and painting everything in sight.
Again congratulations Polyy and Hevs When is there a get together?????? and where
