Dave's Birthday

The boys enjoyin the drinks:

Now, even though these photos indicate otherwise, I SWEAR that my brother and his friends are NOT gay - they are just VERY friendly with each other.

This is a prime example of NOT being gay.

We had a ball that night, drank too much and stayed up too late but overall everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I was only diappointed about 1 thing - Dave and I were supposed to be having a shot in every room (the toilet was the only exception - where we all had to have our hand on the door but not actually in the room) We got 90% of the shots done and then when I was getting ready to do the last room I went looking for Dave - which is when I found him passed out in the lounge room with Rocky. Rocky appeared to be drunk also, a few tins of alcohol were spilt (some because Rocky pushed them over I think) and Rocky offered to lick it all up, it seems he likes his alcohol...

Clouds

Here are a few photos which I took out of the window of the plane on my way home to Brissy. Its a real shame that I didn't take any photos on the way up to Mackay - the clouds were really beautiful and majestic, with about 4-5 different colours in the sky at one stage. Anyhow here are my pics:

Not bad for the make do polarizer I had - (i pressed the lens hard up against my sunnies seeing as how they are polarised)

Flooding at Dave and Mandy's

So yesterday we had a massive amount of rain in just a short period of time and as such Dave and Mandy's pool overflowed and they had gained some waterfalls over the rocks behind the pool. Thus turning their patio into a wading pool of sorts. (Side note : the waterfalls over the rocks would make a GREAT water feature..)

Here's the pics:

This is how half of the water was moved out of the patio area in the first place before the water diversion measures were in place.

Look how pretty the water falls are!!

You probably can't see it as well as I had hoped but the water is actually just coming over the edge of the pool.

The ingenious means of water diversion - which surprisingly worked very well - seemed to keep alot of water out of the patio area.
