Lunch with my team

Well today I saw my work buddies for the first time since I went in to hospital.  I had lunch with the Huxley team.  Huxley is the project I was working on and leading the development for.  I won't go into more detail in case I bore you all.

Anyway it was great to hear how everyone was doing and hear where they were up to on the project.  I also met Atul the new GUI developer and after our lunch I went around the corner and met up with the Tech Comms group (they are the guys who write up our technical manuals and online help) who were having lunch and having some very good wine indeed.  They also had a few new starters whom I haven't met before. 

There have been quite a lot of people leaving my department over the past 2 months and now after years of hardly employing anyone new, we are starting to get in quite a few.  The place will have a very different feel to it when I get back.  

Tomorrow I am getting together with all my cousins for dinner.  There will be about 11 of us (I think) plus their partners.  My agenda for tomorrow is as follows:
  •  having breakfast with my friend Jill.  
  • Having my hair washed, massaged and blow-dried at Synergy - the hairdresser opposite the Turtle cafe.  
  • My friend Michelle has booked me in for a manicure and pedicure.  
I think I will look and feel like a million dollars after all that - and then I'm off to the Cousins Do.

The question of course remains... What do the cousins do at the cousins do?

Usually every thing we don't do at the Cousins Don't

Hi Anita,
Your blog is very cool, and it's nice to see who Patrick is. We are on our way to play FYB now where Paul will be defending his trophy. Today Dana won a trophy in a national horseriding comp. and is very excited. Love to all the cousins,
Ruth

Hi Ruth,
Great to hear about Dana. I didn't even know that she did horse-riding.

John one the FYB cup here last week. I didn't go to the game because I wasn't feeling up to it but John rang and told me. He was very excited and I think he said it was his second win in 14 years. I thought it was his 3rd. but still can see why he was excited about it. Say it loud. Say it proud.
