Laura's house party

Friday night saw Laura's 18th birthday party take place at the house and, to our relief, it all went off well and she enjoyed it. The day had been wet after a very hot humid day on the Thursday, but the evening was dry so we had the veranda and downstairs room used for the party and there were just over 30 of Laura's friends attending. The neighbours had been warned and we also had peace of mind with 2 'security' guys at the top of drive in the event that we might have had any gatecrashers, but they had a quiet night.

The rest of the weekend has been wet again although there was a spell of sunshine on Saturday afternoon so Sue and I had a walk along Curl Curl beach and sat for a while watching the rolling waves come crashing in at the cliffs on the south end of the beach. We then spent the evening with Laura at her friend Nicola's parents, as this was their last weekend here before they return to South Africa this Friday.
