Some folks who couldn’t make it requested that the picnic be blogged, so here we are!
We had loads of fun with much conversation (oh, you wish you were there for the discussion of Middle English slash, I know how you do) and laughter and food. I was particularly taken with the boob cupcakes made by the news with nipples, which were both hilarious and delicious. I was kind of amazed that we had so many people come who live outside Sydney: Bridget came especially from Bathurst and we were fortunate enough to have timed it so that folks from Canberra, New Zealand and the United States could be there, too!
It was a beautiful sunny day and it was fabulous to put some faces to names as well as to catch up with some people I hadn’t seen in a while. Thank you so, so much to those who came, it was a real pleasure to see you all. Hopefully we can do this again sometime.
Just a lost property notice: a black bag was left behind. If it’s yours and you would like it returned, email me at chally [dot] zeroatthebone [at] gmail [dot] com and I shall put you in touch with she who has it.
(Are you sure your email address has two “at”s in it? It looks odd to me.)
Edited.
I wish I’d been able to make it! I was actually back from Darwin in time, but too exhausted after not having slept the night before. I crashed out for about 14 hours as soon as I got home.
Next time for sure!
Glad to hear you all had fun!
