The day started with me not even knowing where City Beach was. Lucky I found Lushie and we made some calls - eventually found where we were meant to be - in a carpark up the road a little. I dropped of my (and Matt's) Secret Santa gifts under the tree and said hello to the crew that was already there.
The three-legged race was up first, then the sack race which Chookie is a master of. And boy did he go. He won it fair and square and was presented with a large rubber squid as first prize.
Next it was onto beach cricket, where Jono took a few marvellous catches and Matt was "Mr Cricket". And again, Chookie had to be the star of the show. He snapped the cricket bat 3 balls later.
A few rounds of drinks and the ranger stopping by informing us that our BBQ gas bottles are a big no-no, didn't slow the day down. Frank fired up the BBQ anyway and everyone started to get their food out.
"Hey Leeeeeroy" was my call and I had managed to scam a lift to Subway for lunch (as I didn't bring any food - I didn't have a backpack). We drove to Scarborough Subway and came back with wheels spinning. That car had more poke than my bike. Lots more.
Lunch was served and eaten, then it was more relaxing at the beach along with Secret Santa. I got a belt and a small clutch purse. The kiddies got water pistols which the rest of us then took over and it was game on with the freezing cold water from the eskies.
I remained relatively dry all day until I copped a whole esky full of icy-cold water right at the end of the day - faff off Marcus!
Topped off with a nice ride home, a nap and the last 6 overs of the fourth day of the Third Test match. Ahhh, summer in Australia.
