Cocktails, a Wedding and Broncos

Well the fun and festivities of the weekend commenced on Friday night with Sue's and mine bi-annual girls night out. We started with cocktails at Jorge - hello French Mohito, then moved to dinner at Lab in the Casino. Then, moved back to Jorge - Mediterranean Tang was ok but nothing on the Mohito.

Saturday started with Angela's wedding. Thank god it had finally stopped raining so it ended up being a beautiful day. So beautiful in fact I ended up getting burnt at the ceremony and now have a delightful handbag burn mark on my shoulder. The bride was beautiful and the drinks flowed aplenty - can you tell much?


This was towards the middle of the evening when we thought it would be a wonderful idea to take the flowers out of the table piece to decorate ourselves - I think it looks quite fetching!


I think this was a little towards the end of the night and of course being at a wedding you have to get into the toasting mood! I'm not quite sure what we were toasting but I think at this stage we didn't really need an excuse!

The festivities finally ended and it was time to leave. This was the most interesting part of the evening - the 1hr train ride back from Ipswich to the City. We had our strategically concocted roadies - vodka and orange in the orange juice bottle - perfect, the police never suspected a thing. Word of warning, don't keep yourself stuck on a train for an hour when you've been drinking for the best part of 10 hours and you really need a toilet!!

Then Sunday we headed of to the Broncos final home game for the season. It was my first trip to Suncorp and first game of rugby so it was all good fun. Except for the feeling a little off colour and continue nose blowing as my cold took hold. But hey, play hard or go home!!
