A year in the life (cont)

Yet amid the diversions and distractions, there were stirrings in our ranks. Merely months into 08, Mattwa shocked even himself by kicking recruitment to the curb. Others soon followed as Nicolai quit the SFF, John shook Cerner loose, Noodle stormed triumphantly out of uni and Gretta left working life behind altogether. Even little George got tired of the womb and decided to come out and play.

We celebrated several other births that took place many decades ago. Nicolai, Mattwa, Gretta, John, Richie, and B Sam all threw us a bash for their 30th and Flit sponsored much beer swilling for his 40th.
Drinking was also the only way to farewell the iconic Wiglet after his untimely but spectacular demise,



as was it for the Swans semifinal victory


and a house-sitting opportunity.


While some things were best toasted in other ways…
