2007 - a year in review

Well my friends, it's that time of year again - when your kindly neighbourhood evil blog administrator finds herself in a deserted office, haunted by the echoes of a silent phone and still inbox, with time and inclination to idle over a few memories and take a look back at the momentous and the fleeting in the life of the SRF for 2007.

Let’s start at the very beginning, with January, February, March. Some kicked off with a bang,

others with more of a splutter-splutter-chug.

The first three months brought new beginnings for the SRF. For some, new hopes, new careers, new cars.
For others, new stairs. The most notable addition to the SRF repertoire was the big fat FUTSAL win, in February, perhaps the proudest moment in the history of our physically challenged and individual oriented society.

But as in every good story there were sadnesses too, colouring the start of our year with a bitter sweet tinge of blue. The OC, Amanda Vanstone, Freddo Frog, and Anna Nicole Smith all bowed out, puncturing our hopes for the year to come. The House of Chicken suffered a great blow that left a Noodle-shaped hole in the fabric of their domestic lives. Lucky for the remaining housemates, an enormous pair of shins would soon fill that void…

In other happenings, we visited Wollombi,
Nicolai visited Canada, the boys visited Noodle’s feminine side.

The comet came, the Google Earth plane didn’t
and a mouse dropped by the House of Fillet. Nicolai took Flit on their first date. Flit made it to his ½ anniversary with Gretta. Gretta started kicking recruitment arse. Then on the last day of March we all headed to the bush for a hoedown and I married our noodliest.
