Scrabble, Rummikub, some hockey and catching up with Friends
Well another weekend has past in Canberra, pretty crazy thinking have now been here nearly 2 months! The weekend again started on Thursday night at O'Neils, this is good fun but is becoming a dangerous tradition especially when others decide (Ash & Elene) that Civic is a good idea and party till all hours, glad decided against this as could of made friday at work very difficult! Friday was North bar for free champagne then a few of us decided dinner was a good idea so off to Jimmy's Kitchen in Dickson we went, can highly reccommend it all the meals that we had were delicious and easily fed the four of us. It was then decided after dinner to head out to Jess' place to watch a couple of movies, we headed out to Jess' place with some more drinks and decided to play board games instead! Rimsy champion of rummikub lost his first game, must say think had begginers luck. Then it was scrabble where Tracey, Rims and I had forged a lead against Jess who then came from the back to leave us in her wake! A movie was turned on but quickly decide against as we all crashed out! Had a very enjoyable evening and definately will do again. After getting back to my place on Saturday had the big breakfast at a cafe in Watson, again this place I can highly reccommend, coffee was nice, service good, food delicious and quite an extensive breakky menu, not the cheapest around but worth the couple of extra dollars. Off to hockey to role my ankle in the first 30 seconds no reserves so played the whole game, think didn't help the team much lost 3-2 to wests, 1 goal to me but missed about 5!
The sore ankle and previous late night I thought would just kick back and recover but Genevieve was in town and after not seeing her for a couple of years was great to catch up! Ended up going out again then to Cathys place (Gens friend whos 30th bday it was) to have a couple of drinks then sunday involved lazing round, watching DVDs and eating another big breakfast cooked by Cathy for her guests, which I am very grateful for especially since I was a random!
On a totally different note my parents headed to Mudgee for a Dog show and Felix won best in show which Mum was stoked with, so thought would throw in couple of photos of that.

Genevieve and I out at King O'Malleys just having a few pints, awesome to catch up maybe should do it more than every 2-3 years.
Going to have to get a bigger lounge, especially when the pup grows up, As you can see by Maddison the kids have been sent to the floor!
Felix getting judged where he was awarded best in show
After a long weekend, nothing like relaxing whilst showing off the bounty!

Sensible, Mix - that trip in to Civic after O'Neil's with Ash can bring you undone.
What did you have at Jimmy's? (I've not eaten there).
Jess is a gun on Scrabble, hey Mix? Let's get some practice in this week.
How's the sprained ankle? It's a real bastard of an injury. I only appreciate how bad it is now, having had one earlier in the year.
Btw the way, Mix - that Felix is a monster.

Jimmys cosisted on Fried Rice, Mongoliam Lamb (2 servings) Sizzling steak in Pepper sauce and shang tao chicken or something like that. Scrabble sounds like a plan was going to say thursday before O'neils as I have hockey on at 9 so wont be making the pub and was going to cook a kangaroo roast this evening.
