Monday wash up: it was a biggun'

The biggest event to happen this weekend was the Hen's and Buck's Day/night! Choosing the same day allowed us to right off one weekend not two! Thank goodness we did that since wiped out we were on Sunday! (sounding abit yoda-ish there)

The boys set out about 11am while the girls had a relaxed morning and mustered about 2pm. While we sat out the front of the MCA waiting for our full number to arrive, we watched as other hen's days gathered for their very own brand of fun.....When our co-ordinator arrived we all got in trouble for banishing tackiness and she vowed to get me a condom veil before the day was out! luckily she forgot...the girls however had a crack at a different type of veil for me.....

I know it all looks a little odd, but the idea was that we do a treasure hunt around the rocks. Not sure what to expect, we all headed off in good spirits waiting to see what our day would bring! First stop for us was the police station, where we ummed and arrhhed about entering the station and wasting police time....we found out soon enough that they were on to us and were really quite happy to help with our enquiries. We raced off to our next location, and once we had frantically scribbled down the answers to some very basic questions, we realised we had loads of time and got stuck into the wine....great decision! after that, each location was sorted first with some wine and then some answers. (I guess that explains the state of the veils...another challenge for the hunt)

The hunt ended after a few hours with the VICTORS being the "FaBLUEness" team....My team (Of course!). We decided to head out for dinner, Spanish was the go. We even managed to find a lovely waiter for Lucy! (my brother-in-laws' sister), unfortunately his name was NOT Alan...very inconsiderate when you consider the day was the "festival of the Alans!"

Anyway, after dinner, it was raining, so we headed for the nearest pub, just so happens to be the 3 wise monkeys. We thought we'd stay there for a beer and move on to the myriad other places we had planned to go on this night. Not to be I'm afraid. We got great seats immediately and there we stayed....didn't even think of moving on actually?! Sarah and Jackie got set on meerkats and had the entire dancefloor (the size of my house) all jumping up with hands as paws and mouth pursed! even the band got in on it and stopped playing to pose as meerkats. I had a look through Jackie's photos of the night and she has about 20 odd shots of her, or Sarah, or Me, or Bron with random strangers being meerkats!

This is us with random Melbournians and doing the said Meerkat poses!

Sounds appropriately silly and fabulous! I am very sorry to have missed out, I make an excellent meercat.
