Who wears short shorts?

How quickly the time goes these days.

It's nearly been a whole year since the last short shorts party, so on Winter Solstice it's time to head on out to the bonfire down the lane and party in a pair of shorts.

A 'brief' history (get it?)

I think it would have to be about 5 years ago the tradititon began. Winter solstice is the dead middle of winter, when the nights are at their longest, and the days at their shortest.

A little out of party season it's a good excuse to see everyone.......wearing shorts.

There's a big bonfire and plenty of mulled wine, so no chance of getting cold, we've even stuck it out in the rain.

This is the first time the Solstice has fallen on anything but a school night.

FRIDAY JUNE 22ND.

NO EXCUSES!!!

Be there.......
...or...
...be............
long?

NO ENTRY WITHOUT THE WEARING OF SHORTS

You can't stop progress

Oh my god!!!

There's traffic lights at the Fitzimons Lane roundabout.

For Real!

I don't know if this was the first night they've been in use, or if tonight was the first time I've come home early enough to catch peak hour traffic, but there they were. Making my lane of traffic slow. And just generally freaking me out.

But you know what they say......

This morning I sent my sister off to play in the Australian girls team in Thailand. Here is a photo for my mum to see that she was off safely.

How gorgeous is my lovely mum?

Here she is at Richard's 60th in the UK. Casablanca themed at Rick's Cafe Americain. Complete with band and the birthday boy on guest vocals. We all miss you.
