megalong 30th

I just got back from the most amazing weekend away with some friends under the pretense of celebrating my 30th... I say that 'cause it just felt like a great weekend away and we need to find excuses like that to do it more in the future! A huge thank you to you all for making it such a great time and to my amazing wife for bringing it all together!
We headed up on Friday arvo and made our way down the valley by 3pm or so and it was a nice 8*C, far nicer than the 5* up in the mountains! Eventually everyone showed up and we settled in for some dinner with a few relaxing beers & vino's...






The next morning, the sun rose to a lovely day, we pretty much just hung out in the morning, drinking coffee in the sun!


We took the opportunity to brush up on centre-court... it's in a pretty sad state. Note the footwear!


Little Oscar, cute as ever!


Some nutter's actually went for a 10km run! (not me)

And yep, Evie is still adorable!

The wind got up and so did the kite...

Pete & Brendan then joined us for an amazing feast and we ate and drank our fill well into the evening... And I received some very nice, thoughtful gifts from some very special friends! (ipad, some nice vino, a very nice jumper and a very nice scotch decanter!)

The next day dawned an absolute stunner and a few of us decided to saddle up and hit the trail! It was a great way to relax and soak up the vista, despite my stubborn steed Hank.






And then came an amazing surprise as my little sister Nicole showed up! Lunch with her was the perfect way to end an amazing weekend! Thanks everyone!!

So, I've got this cool new app called Photosynth, click the image below and check out the pic, it's pretty cool! First is looking out of my hotel in Singapore with a huge thunderstorm moving through.
