Martha and Susan’s Excellent Adventures

My dad’s Christmas decorations at the office

Yeah, I don’t know why the photo of Rob and Tara keeps mucking up in that previous post. I’ve tried fixing it many times, decreased the file size, done things to the html of the link. It hates me.

Just a quick one - there is lots of catching up to do on this blog, but for now here are the 2 biggest events: Oliver and Beun’s wedding in Australia, and Rob and Tara’s wedding in Canada. I won’t tell you which photo is from which wedding though. I think it’s clear.

Hello faithful followers of the blog! We’re back! So recently I’ve been home for a visit in Ontario, and now that I’ve moved on to the west coast, I have a bit of time to get you up to speed. My friend Dan Inns, from UNSW, came up to visit one weekend. He sent me his photos that he took, and among them was this:

I think he was impressed by the buttons being in both English and French, but I’m not sure. The rest of the photos from his trip can be found here.

Check out the gallery for lots & lots of new photos, including a bunch from Jason & Chau’s wedding this past weekend!

Okay, I’m actually back in the ‘Loo now, but last weekend was an awesome weekend, so here’s a little synopsis with pictures.

Saturday, City2Surf training, then sushi for dinner, and then karaoke!

Florence and Tim gave by far the best rendition of “Love Shack” that I have ever heard! Tim and I did a pretty good Bon Jovi “Livin’ on a Prayer” cover as well. But Florence still wins best song of the evening in my books.

Sunday, sushi party at Tim & Ziv’s, complete with make-your-own (vegetarian) sushi, tea pouring ceremony, and Japanese movie watching. The tea pouring ceremony was researched by Roland, performed by Ziv, and took somewhat less than the specified 4 hours which these things are supposed to take. And may actually be Chinese. But who’s counting.

Mars makin’ some sushi…

Drinkin’ some tea…

And makin’ some of Michelle’s chocolate coffee brownies with Jamie and Jenny, ’cause how can we have some sort of potluck event without the famous brownies???

Steve & Anne’s wedding was incredibly fun! They’re off to Cape Breton Island now for their honeymoon. Check out the Gallery for some pictures of the event. The most fun wedding I’ve ever been to.

Random Canadian news:

• There’s a black bear on the loose in Waterloo Region, but no one can find it now
• Edmonton has lost 2 heart-breakers so far in the Stanley Cup Finals
• No more smoking in public buildings in Ontario. Period. Woo hoo!

Back to Sydney this afternoon. The maple syrup and hockey stick are packed. The Crown will be bought at the airport. Take off, you hosers.
