The Week That Was

So Sc's Work Week started off at Buller and Ended in Torquay. Sounds a little like a Rip Curl Ad doesnt it From the mountains to the surf :):):)

Anyway after spending weekend at Falls monday was spent at Buller enjoying the mountain air training people on our rental product.
Tuesday I was back here (airport) flying up to sydney for some meetings etc. Even a little job review



Luckily our marketing dept partnered with Boost on a promotion and we all had free boost juices :)


Our Office in Sydney is pretty much in the heart of it as far as surf goes and here is the local beach located in Manly. Paul colby if your reading this I hope this makes you home sick (cause we miss you)


So friday night I had a little clinic going at a store in torquay to end the week, the clinic ended well (so i thought) until someone yelled "FIRE" and you wouldn't believe it but a fire started in the shop.
It was quickly put out but still freaked everyone out. Way to end the week.
On way home I checked out a little contest going on in the city at one of the snowboard shops in there.
Similar to the episode of "My name is Earl" where they held the contest to win a car by having the longest person holding the car win it, except this time it wasn't a car but snowboard and they where hung in the air. 30 people where going at it and im sure theres still people going today.
Check Blurry Photo below for the keen contest entrants

Saturday in the City

While Shane was away working at the resorts, I caught up with KT Moo and Jammo (AKA Stuart). The day started off with a ride on the Frankston train line (sketchy), where the guy sitting next to Moo decided he'd had a little too much to drink (before noon!) and lost it in his McDonald's milkshake cup. Yummy!

Once we got off the train in Melbourne, Katie and I decided to go shopping (imagine that), while Jammo went to "Game On" at Fed Square.

After a rough day of shopping, we all went to Docklands to the James Squire Pub for dinner . . .



TC and Moo and a little Golden Ale

The Russian's Farewell

For those of you who haven't heard about my friend Eugenia . . . she's my Russian friend that I met at work about a year or so ago. Unfortunately, she's heading back to Russia and then she's off to the UK. She had farewell drinks in the city on Saturday night. It was heaps of fun (and I even got to buy a new dress for the occasion - surprise, surprise!). We will miss you Eugenia!



Eugenia, TC, and Lili

More Early Season Snow


Here is a Photo of Everyones Fave Run at Mt Buller Bourke Street or what is commonly referred to as "Berzerk Street" which I think was coined by our friend Jammo.
Anyway its 8 degrees outside our house and at Mt Buller its -1.5c.
Great News For All, Adelaide ended up pretty cool and mellow city and work has been so busy this week Ive slacked on the updates till now.
More to come this weekend thats for sure.

Snow Season Housing Hunting

After Bailing Early last night and missing out on what seems to be the after party of the year. Lars, TC and I ventured early up to Sawmill Settlement at the base of Mount Buller to check out winter rental cabins for the upcoming snow season.
Thanks to Everyone who reminded us what we missed out on last night :):). I think this cabin will be worth it and if we do get it (touch wood) this will be an amazing snow season.

On the way we dropped into the normally sleepish town of Mansfield (30 mins from Mt Buller).
Mansfield was having a market/festival in the centre of town and let me tell you all, the town was bustling, we even knew a couple of people.



TC and her friend the Lamb



Lars And SC in the police heli, we had to kick that kid out so we could get a shot.

Jumping For Joy Hoping That We Get Our New Place For The Snow Season

Pink Jobs

Not to long ago some friends and I went out on the Great Barrier Reef (thanks Breny) on a four bedroom catamaran.

Anyway one of the first lessons we where taught before getting out on the water was that there where two kinds of jobs on the boat.
Blue jobs for the boys and Pink Jobs for the girls.

Blue jobs where steering the boat, fishing, mooring the boat, sailing the boat, cooking on the bbq (not in the kitchen) etc.

Heres a Shot of Breny and I performing a Blue job.




Pink jobs on the other hand where cleaning, cooking, doing the dishes, getting drinks, etc. etc pretty much anything in the kitchen.


Well here is Tara wishing she was back on the boat taking Pink jobs a little to far in her Team Pink Track Suit. :):)


TC is the Best
