I had a great weekend, not that I don't have a great weekend every weekend, it's the weekend after all, but this last weekend, I did a lot, I mean a real lot!
Saturday saw the significant other and myself off to Wollongong the Brave for a sunny lunch followed by some cultural pursuits, a la, a play direct from the Sydney Theatre Company no less! See we can get culture in the country!
We had lunch at a fabulous restaurant called Rocksalt which is right on the city beach at Wollongong, and as it was a fabulous sunny day we sat outside (as you do) and had a light lunch of Champagne ( the real deal), oysters, and some soft shell crab. Here are a couple of pictures to whet your appetite!

| Oh how sweet, hats cuddling up! Got to protect yourself from the sun! |
 |
| Yes, I felt like a splurge, and it was a day made for Moet! |
 |
| Oysters, for entree, lucky we had a play to attend afterwards, who knows what they may have led to! |
The play was a blast from the past, it was called School Dance and it transported me back to being 15 again. Do you remember the anticipation of the school dance?
I went to an all girls school and the opportunity to see boys (who were not related to you!) was an adventure in itself. We spent weeks planning our outfits, who were the "spunks" we would consider dancing with ( it was the 70's and "spunk" was a legitimate descriptionon, now it would be hot!). Anyway I loved it and the music that featured. The bonus was that at the end, as we were leaving I saw DEBORAH MAILMAN who was a friend of the playwright and there for a QandA (not the Tony Jones version) afterwards.
I tried to get a photo, but unfortunately but she had important Deborah Mailman business to attend to, and I did not get a photo, but the significant other can confirm she was there.
PLUS
I had to get home to get ready for the highlight of the Burrawang social calendar
Burrawang is a village about 10kms from Glenquarry Goddess HQ, and we like to call it The Wang, anyway we got a last minute call up from Baby Mac who needed some brain power for her table and as good neighbours we answered the call.
It was a BIG event, 20 tables of 8 baby boomers, and some Gen X's! Let me say we did not disgrace ourselves, we came 2nd and that was with some performance enhancing drinks as well, anyway there is next year!
And the final note is that here is a little frog I found in my shower, and it obviously has good taste as it chooses J&J body wash to rest itself upon! ( hope my boss reads this and I get a raise!).
Anyway that is enough of my trivial pursuits, hope you had a good weekend too! Stay tuned as we are going away next weekend !
