To celebrate being officially over the hill Meegs took us away for a surprise long weekend. After being picked up from the airport on Friday afternoon we started heading North. We ended up at Noosa Rise Apartments for a three night stay. Now usually this would have been a great weekend anyway. But for my birthday Meegs had also organised three Kite Surfing lessons. To say that this was fun and hard work is the understatement of the year. To try to control a 9 to 13 square metre kite at the same time as trying to ride a board is much tougher than it looks.
After three lessons I was up, but certainly not comfortable. Meegs was there on Monday to get some shots of me, both standing and face planting. I asked her to take some pictures of some of the better guys and say it was me, but with chicken legs like mine it’s hard to believe the others were of me.
The rest of the weekend was spent predominantly relaxing around the apartment with Meegs, O, Mum and Dad. We then caught up with some of our closest friends for dinner on Monday night at Roman Empire.
We’ll post some pictures from the weekend soon. But right now the cricket is almost over and I don’t want to drop the laptop if the Aussies actually get over the line.
EDIT: Nope, the Aussies didn’t get up. Should have just stayed typing the story. :(
Over the Hill!!!! Geez, Marc, make me feel ancient, why don’t you!!!
Can’t wait to see the photos – make sure you put on the face planting ones as well!!!
anyway, Happy Birthday.
