The Ball

Last night was the CANZA Charity Ball at the Corinthian Towers. We nearly didn't make it last minute when M fell over in the shower, taking out the shower head in the process!!But he and the shower survived the trauma, our downstairs baby sitter arrived and we made it to the ball.

The menu was marinated prawn, kangaroo, gumleaf sorbet, pork stuffed with salmon, coffee pavlova....with non stop Jacobs Creek(one of those nights where they keep filling your glass and you don't know how much you have had). All that took us up to 11:30...at which time M & I turned back into pumpkins(our baby sitter was expecting us).

Although we went by ourselves we ended up meeting many people we know...4 teachers from school, one of the ladies I play tennis with, and a few of the parents from school. Our table had a few DHL and Ernst Young expats from Australia(one was the daughter of an EY founder).

We were entertained by an Aboriginal musician, Maori dancers, live band and a DJ. They had a lot of prizes and we were lucky enough to win a night for two in Karlovy Vary.
