On Friday morning we had a big (typically Brethren) morning tea to farewell our office girl who is going off to get married. I skipped lunch and went on to afternoon tea at Anna's as our weekly get together to take Jo out. Then home and out to dinner at old friends Kaye and Bruce Easton. Kaye had just been made redundant in quite bizarre circumstances at Girls High where she was the office lady and had one of the previous principals Karen Johansen there, and also Jill Chrisp. They are Human Rights commissioners. Kaye had done all my favourites - Cob loaf, Lasagne and salad, pavlova AND brownie and fruitsalad.
On Saturday we had a farewell for Graeme and Olwyn Black who are off to England so we gave them a british themed meal and quiz. All typically stoggy dishes!! Great fun.
