I would have liked to make this and say hello and catch up with you guys, but unfortunately work always seems to thwart the fun stuff :?

Always next time though :wink:

Unfortunately, I may not be able to make this after all. We have family coming up from Sydney and may be off visiting.

I will find out for sure in the next few days and let you know Manta, as I also have your phone number (**waggles eyebrows**).

I have to ask the question - as this is a minimeet, does it mean that QLD people are all midgets (politically correct expression ”small people”) 8) :lol: :lol: :roll:

No problems Tony. Understand if you can't make it. They're dropping like flies but we'll have fun anyway. Doesn't seem fair that you're the only person on the planet who doesn't have my number so you've got a PM.

:lol:

Lol thats the first thing I thought when I looked outside this morning...

look on the bright side though....

overcast skies could mean lovely diffused light for photography...

or it could mean we will end up taking our pics at the pub.... :wink:

I've been sent out on a stove hunt .... our stove finally died last night (I'm actually surprised that it has lasted as long as it has), and as such, I'm being SENT SHOPPING !!!! Anyone who knows Damian knows what a serious situation this really is ;) Anywho, I don't think I'll make it along - just depends on the success of stove shopping ..... I'll give you a ring later on Simon and see how I'm going .....
Then I'm off to the Bridezilla hens night :(
Wish me luck

And if I don't get there (I probably won't) I expect to see heaps of great photos from you lot

heres a couple from lunch ... sitting in deep shade with a very bright background was not the ideal place for a shoot :roll:

don't you dare take a photo of me eating !! :P

the only pic i got of Steve was when he was taking a pic of his "new bestest friend" :lol:

It was a great day as the weather cleared up and was quite warm ... a bit lucky as my jumper and tripod were back in the car and it was too far to go get them for the sunset shots of the bridge.

Well, I obviously didn't make it .. and didn't get a stove either :(
Note to self - if you find a great bargain (but heaps more than I've been told to spend) DON'T ring the other half to convince them to let you buy it :( :( ... didn't work, and just ended up shitty :( LOL
But looks like you all had a ball - just been checking out some of the shots - (I'll comment shortly) - ripper :)

Oh lord... perhaps I should have clarified what i meant when I said 'Dont you dare take a picture of me while I'm eating'... what I really meant was.. "do it and prepare to be annihilated'... *rakes through really bad Shane pics on her hard drive while warming up the clone tool*... :wink:

we look terrible...

when you said you didn't take portraits you weren't joking were you... *grins*

don't you know its always polite to touch a lady up before posting her pic on the net... specially if its a really bad one... *sighs*

Ah obviously you don't have the 'wrapping him around your little finger' tecnique down to a fine art yet Rel... here's a little hint for ya... men and ego's... they need stroking.. among other things as well...;) And sorry to hear that you ended up wasting your day and not able to get the oven that you wanted.... or one at all by the looks of it... a week or two of take out and he'll be pushing you out the door to get the stove of your dreams I am sure... :lol:
We did have a good day... but it wasnt the same without you... :)

Even though I missed out on the day, and watching Manta waggle those eyebrows, I did get to meet the adorable Bindii. Can't take her anywhere though, she wore a fair bit of her hot chocolate :lol:
