“The Season of Parties.” As you can see I am completely avoiding stereotypes by using that phrase but this weekend I have been to two parties aswell as a Jazz gig. So not to be that blogger that just blogs about all the fun stuff they are doing, that is what I am going to do. Staff Christmas party on Friday night with vegetarian lasagna and great conversation and free drinks that I did not go overboard with. As part of the night they read out memorandums for us all about why we should be fired. It was very funny. One of my closest friends here got “next time you kick someone out of the van for being degrading towards women do it more than 10metres away from a strip club.” The saturday night a friend had a pink party and we all got dresses up and looked very spunky in our pink outfits. Karaoke was the entertainment for some of that evening. I represented and had a go. Everyone loves people for having a go even if they can’t sing particularly well. Then tonight after a lovely church service we headed to this Jazz club down one of Melbourne’s laneways. It was very Melbourne and pretty great music.

One of my favourite Melbourne memories was siting with Keith and Ann in one of inner Melbourne’s laneways eating food, drinking wine and listening to some good jazz. It may have been the same place. Keith loved the sax player so much we followed him to his next gig. It was such a great vibe. Glad you’re having some wonderful moments in that beautiful city.
