We were invited to our friends 60th birthday on the weekend but we had to come in fancy dress! Now this would normally send me into a dither but as luck would have it Halloween was also on Saturday night so the shops were filled with Halloween outfits. We visited the Reject Shop (gotta love the cheap shops) and picked up two outfits for less that $60. Philip went as a Ghoul and I went as Morticia from the Addams Family. We all arrived at 5.00pm in normal clothes and at around about 6.00pm our guest of honour was blind-folded and dressed in his outfit - Barney Rubble, and the rest of us quickly changed into our fancy dress. His blind-fold was then removed and he was very much surprised, not only by his outfit but everyone else's efforts.
We had a beautiful meal...thanks Kate....and a lovely night chatting to our friends, some of whom we hadn't seen for quite awhile. The men stayed up to watch New Zealand beat Australia in the Rugby World Cup while the rest of us where tucked up in bed by 1.00 pm. I think Philip stumbled into the camper at about 3.30 pm!
