Me and Dane had tried to play tennis in the courts of his brothers apartment complex (very nice, and apparently where some of the Taipans live), but it kept raining so we didn't really get much played, and my legs were still hurting. Sammi- one of the Sri Lankan kitchen staff- was supposed to be cooking a few of us a curry, but then at about 7 text to say Chats had cooked for him and Indi and so could it be tomorrow. On my way to work there's a sign outside a res...

Dave offered to take me, Alice, Bex, Amanda, Billy (new night porter), and the French receptionists (Gaelle and Vanessa) out for a meal to show his appreciation for the work we had done for him, which I thought was a very nice gesture, especially for stingy Dave. We had to keep it quiet from Guy though, as Dave knew he kept going out on nights when he was supposed to be night porter. Alice was working and Bex wanted to go see Barry to watch the State of Origin ga...

When I had finished work, I had a text from Alice saying that their team in the Woolshed Trivia quiz had come f...

Duncan surprised us all by being a very good harmonica player- he was playing along whilst people were playing the guitar outside in the smoking area. After work, I went to The Courthouse to meet Jay, Dane, Masa (who work in the kitchen) and Nobby (who used to work at Hogs Breath- one of the people whose leaving nights out I went on) and his friend whose name was You-Me although I'm sure it's not spelt like that!

In my break, I cooked my black sapote in the work ovens. It didn't really have that much flavour on its own, but covered in the chocolate ganache, it was a very tasty pudding! Skype with mum and dad after was very entertaining, because mum kept accusing dad of things like putting the bedside lamp on so that he got the best lighting.
