The farewell lunch (Star Trek High Five!).

Do I look tired? That's because I was fucking tired. And I wanted kwoffee.

Touch down.

We went to the airport at 06:45 to pick up Nicole's parents who were coming back from vacation. This is their Air Malaysia flight touching down. The landing looked very gracious.

Wog fest 2009. Naturally, because I wanted to make a photo of them arriving, some unknown force in the bloody universe decided to plant 3 families in my line of sight.

The in-laws. Tony and Vicky.

This is my international drivers license with which I can drive a car anywhere in the world for a year. I dunno, it could also be a WWII pass of some sort...

Today we had our farewell lunch at Uleybury. Here we see Greg, Gianna and Nicole.

Stephen, Anna and Greg.

Karin and Stephen.

A particularly good photo (if not the nicest ever!) of natalie and Luke (who actually drove two hours to be there!). Thanks so much for coming guys!

STAR TREK HIGH FIVE!

A bit of after chit chat in the parking lot.

We drove home the scenic way, through the Adelaide hills. Everything was still very green. Pretty soon it will be dry and brown again.

We past a hot rod with a dog in it.

While going home we decided to hit the beach. We went to Largs.

Larg's jetty.

Largs beach.

People fishing at the top of the jetty.

A seagull on a pole.

Do I still look tired? That's because I still was bloody tired.

Me! me! me! ME! mE! ME! me! ME!

Geek-Risk

Three o'clock beer. Coopers dark ale is very nice.

I organised a game of Risk in the evening. Here we see Justin, Ben and Dale.

Dale, Natalie and Luke.

This is an old version of the game. Beautiful board though but old crappy rules.

I had a great time. Ben won the one game we played eventually.

The birds

Our palm tree.

The tree at Victoria Square.

Somehow a pizza was stuck to the ground behind the bench and attracted loads of pigeons.

A big mag pie was interested as well and the pigeons disappeared.

A little miner bird was also developing an interest.

And when the mag pie left...

... the miner bird took its chance.

After work we went out for drinks. Because the Adelaide office RULES! We made a lot of money in June and July so we earned booz. This was the view.

Colleagues Mohit and Dave.

Colleague Justin, girlfriend of colleague Luke; Natalie, and colleague Buddy.

Colleagues Ben and Craig.

They have carpaccio here which I ordered at the bar.

Afterwards I walked to my pickup spot. I passed the fountain in Rundle mall.

Big city bright lights.

The war memorial at night.

The fantastic lunch

My colleague Luke recently went to this hotel called Hotel Richmond in Rundle mall and thought it was my kinda style.

And he was 100% correct!

Luke ordering at the bar.

Luke and Natalie.

Natalie had potatoes, mushrooms and broccolini. All VERY tasty.

Luke had home made tortellini. Absolutely beautiful.

I have finally found a place that does carpaccio. It was my starter: herb crusted beef carpaccio with beetroot aiolo and wild rocket. It was sensational.

Main was organic chicken breast rolled with pistachio stuffing and baby vegetables. Hmmmmmmm.

Lunch was fantastic. Also a fantastic surprise because I did not expect to see this kind of fine food here. And the company was just as fine of course :-)

On our way back to the office there was a band performing. It got quite busy!

In the afternoon we had our group photo taken at work. Bunch of geeks.

Magic, the gathering

Tea with my breakfast.

We like breakfast at Scoozi's. Just some rasin toast and muffins with salmon for me. Hmmmm.

On the way home I bought a cake for my visitors of today.

Luke and Natalie came over to play Magic, the gathering with me.

It was a fun afternoon :-)
