Paul’s Stag and Mark & Neils Hanmer Birthday Bash

Last weekend it was time for Paul (of Paul and Shelly)’s stag weekend.

I don’t have many pictures from the weekend (which is only right and proper).. but it was a fun affair. Paul did irritatingly well it would have to be said. He seemed to drink everything which was set in front of him – and yet managed to outlast everyone. Strange, as he’s a total lightweight really!

Then this weekend it was off to Hanmer for Mark and Neil’s birthday bash.

Here they are playing “The shoe/newlywed game”. Each person takes one shoe from their opponent/opposite/partner.. and have to hold up the shoe corresponding to who best fits the answer to questions like “Who is the stronger in the relationship” etc.. I won’t say whose were held up for “who wears the pants… ;”

Aaaaanyway, fun times. Went biking with Steve & Matt which was lots of fun. Visited one of Steve’s bug sites.

Under the frame are two sets of timber. One wrapped in plastic and the other wrapped, but permeable to insects. I think. The plan is (for three years) to see how they get munched. I think. I’m no etymologist ok. Sheesh. If you want facts go somewhere else. Honestly. ;)

Did get to play with my new ixus 220HS which was lots of fun. It’s a neat little camera and takes HD video’s. Unfortunately this one is a little on the boring side – but more will come now that I’ve got a camera that works again!

Also, this officially means I’m up to date on the blog again. Hurrah.
