Went to bowls on Saturday under suffrence, Gary and I almost had a big fight over it because I whinged so much about not wanting to play LOL.. the weather was miserable here in Atherton so I didn't want to play outside in the rain, it ended up being a nice day in Yungaburra though so wasn't too bad. Played terrible bowls but I think that was because I wasn't really interested in being there!
After bowls I rushed up to Gail and Bob's and got changed to go to Cairns for Cathy and Kathy's 40th birthday dinner at Fetta's Greek Restaurant. Kim picked me up and we headed down the hill, it wasn't a bad drive, felt a bit off after the range but not too bad.
Took us a little while to find the place and get a park as there was a festival happening so streets were packed with people. We actually found it by accident and got a park not too far away as someone was pulling out.
The restaurant was loud and fun and very Greek, the service was a bit iffy though, first the waitress told us she couldn't do a seperate bill for the tables and we couldn't go up to the bar to be served individually so we ended up having to keep track of our own drinks which was a bit of a pain but ok. Then we had some older Greek waiter get very frustrated with the group because he couldn't keep track of how many there were and asked us all to sit down so he could count us LOL
It was certainly a little bizarre to be treated like that at a restaraunt! The last thing I am going to bitch about is how long it took to get fed!! We arrived at 7pm and the entree was served at 8.30pm we were starving!! At 10pm we still hadn't had dessert and Kim and I had to leave, the food was so oily, I haven't eaten a lot of Greek so I am not sure if that is normal.
Having whinged I will say the entertainment and the company were wonderful so we did have a great time (I am sure the Vodka helped with that lol) and it was wonderful to catch up with Kathy again as I haven't seen her in ages.
So we went back up the range, where I met Gary at Yungaburra (he had stayed behind to go to the local pubs footy tipping comp party - free beer and a feed) and we stayed the night at Gail and Bob's.
Woke up early had a nice cooked breakfast and I headed home while Gary went to Bowls to play in the Pairs comp (which he won) I went and picked up Rhett from Mum and Dad's, had a bit of a chat and got home and cleaned my house and read the paper (I love the Sunday Mail)
At 3pm I picked up Savannah from Giglets, she had a great time and had made a movie using PowerPoint, I am sure she will be a famous director one day, she loves to write stories and make movies and put on plays. Very creative and artistic is my daughter. Mum told us how her and Rhett had put on a circus for them the night before, so fun!
Yesterday Gary went back to work and I realised just how much more productive I am without him in the house, caught up on all the washing and ironing, packed all internet orders and this was with stopping to watch Dr Phil LOL
Today hasn't started well with us cooking the keys with the toaster!! How did that happen, we think they must have fell off the bench into the toaster without our realising it, thank god for safety switches!
Anyway have posted a couple of pics from the party and shoul get back to work. Today's goal my massive To Do pile and a tidy up of the shop.
