Hi Tea

Lawrence and Wayne sharing a joke. Lawrence is one of our E.A. which means he's on the front desk.

This is the group enjoying the food, company and tea.

I did enjoy the food but not the tea. The coffee was great though which made up for having so many teas.

Dinner with Friends

After meeting at Coffee Bean we went along to the next restaurant and negotiated a deal where we got two free bottles of wine, beer at half price and 25% off the dinner price. The wine, beer and company was lovely.

At the end of the evening some of the friends bought a Nemo hat and proceeded to have fun wearing it and making the fish faces.
This is Angela and Gordon.

Sue has put her best face on.

As has Christina.

The evening was fun and were in fits of laughter. We are going to miss our get togethers but will have to arrange it so we all meet up somehow next year.

Nearly the end of the year

Well it is so close to the end of the year and we are both counting down till we hit NZ soil and see our boys. It has been a wonderful year, we have met some lovely people and made some lovely friends.

Yesterday we had a joint staff lunch at Sakura and the meal was superb. It was the last chance to see some of the people before they head away for Christmas.

Saturday we are having our 'in house' end of year drinks and then it is only the Sunday to go and I am having some drinks at the Simei branch before heading to a friends house for some last Christmas drinks.

It is sad to say goodbye to some of the children but we should see them around the centre next year.
