Thank god for nyal paracetemol. The Vat Christmas party last night. Ripper. I really got into the party spirit this time. The idea was to come dressed as a song. I absoloutely squeezed myself into "If you were to ask me....", but noone did, so i didn't. I did drink a lot of champagne though, danced it up and had midnight swims. Then i had to walk home at 2 and work all day today. It wasn't a problem until I started to sober up around 12 noon. Then it was across the road and to the medicinal aisle for the nyal- cheap and effective, fish and chips for lunch and a coffee.

I've just put up a whole lot of photos- thanks Ev- including Spicks and Specks and Meredith, you should go check them out.

Crush

I have a giant celebrity crush. Oh Hamish! Not enough to actuall bother finding out his last name mind you, just enough to go ga ga whenever I see him. Oh yeah. He's so hot. And everything he says is absoloute gold, much funnier than that Rove guy. I stumbled across this blog the other day and it's all about this girls fascination with Rove. I think she's from England and when she was in Australia she must have gone to a taping. Loco.

Speaking of tapings that's what has reawakened my celbrity crush. I went to see the Christmas Special of Spicks and Specks with B's brother Steve and his friends Emma and Simon.
Anyway, back to fun things. Lots of celebrity guests and what not. But Hamish is definitly the highlight. It's showing on Sunday night ABC. So watch it. I'm the one up the back with a Christmas hat on, slightly "coloured" from my weekend in the sun. Lats time we went it was odd to watch it on the tv 'cos it was so heavily edited. This time will be even worse. It's an hour long special so it was always going to take a bit longer, but who'd have known it would take 4 1/2 hours. B called me at 4.15 saying Steve had some tix, so I postponed my shopping expedition and headed over to Steve's then the studio. By 10.30 we got out of there, so hot and thirsty and hungry (scungy ABC) and it was freezing, pissing down with rain and the only food we could get was macca's. But I got to touch him. Oh yeah. I touched Hamish. He is hot. I have a crush. -As I'm typing that bit my body involuntarily swings side to side in a sing song manner- Oh yeah a crush. Ra ra ra.

Meredith

As anticipated Meredith was kick ass. My marquee really made it I think. Although there were other marquee style structures around mine was clearly the supreme being. The one thing i forgot to take with me though was my camera, so everyone has to forward me all their photos so I can post them and share the joy that is Meredith with the world.
My brain is still a big pile of mush, so I'll try and post about some actual events when I remeber them.

Clubbing it

What a ripper. I’ve finished all my work for the year. Wahoo! Why, you may then ask, am I still up early enough to be posting before 9 am ? Well working isn’t my entire life. Although at times you’d be forgiven for thinking so. Today consists mainly of shopping plans, Christmas party this weekend, then banking and cleaning up my studio from the crazy amount of work been going on in there. Zoe’s dress is all finished and looks amazing, if I do say so myself. I’ve taken some photos so hopefully Ill put them up after the wedding next weekend. By that time I should have a whole stack of exciting photos and stories post rrr ob and Meredith.
My marquee arrived this week and man is it sweet. It’s gonna be so kick-ass.

I’ve set up the marquee in my backyard for a test run. Very nice. Four people put it up in about 20 mins. So at Meredith 10 inebriated people should be able to achieve the same effect.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

You are cordially invited to a marquee Christmas party. In the tradition of Shay and Small ( Rhiannon)’s Christmas parties of old I’m having a shindig on the 23rd of December. The punch will be flowing and the turkey basted. Except I don’t actually know what that is. But I’ll try my best.
So come along bring a plate- preferably with food on it and a little kris kringle present to put under the tree.

December 23rd from 7.30 pm
See you under the big top
