The tallest Black Forest ever!

RAINBOW G'S MINTY BIRTHDAY


Well, the 21st of October was a very happy pseudo birthday indeed. My 30th celebrations were belated, but thanks to all who attended and made it a really special evening! I really appreciate having you all there (sorry about the crap speech at dinner). And thanks for all the coolest pressies!

All Smiles - Lisa, Ben, Susie & Paul

Me & Lloyd!


Sparkly Anne, Sophie, G & Jo


Vavoom - Mel, Danni & me


The Salsa class was awesome and everyone left with twinkly toes and a few smooth salsa moves under their belts. Thanks Corrie for giving everyone a taste and leaving them wanting more!

Gideon...
You can dip me any time!


Anne & Campbell looking professional!


Gideon & Sonia show us how it's done!

Dinner was laid back and yum - the most stressful point of the night being attempts to cut up the 30cm tall blackforest cake! Huge thanks to Cath and Geoff for getting the cakes there in one piece - a feat indeed!

Where's the food?
Paul, Cath, Geoff, Beatriz, Brendan & Andrew


Amy, Monica, Peter, Jase, Chez, Aimee


Gideon, Sandra, Lee, Jane, Rachel, Nick, Jasmine & Marty


Me and the cake taller than me!
(Thanks G for the photo!)

Big hugs for all those who soldiered on and made it to Heist and danced all night to the point of injury! Hope you all had as fantastic a night as I did. :)

Love g

ps.
My next investment.... maybe...heheh.

Hola minty one,

Very bummed out we missed your b'day and a salsa lesson to boot not to mention a slice (probably thick) of black forest cake yum!

Currently taking it easy on pretty Lago Atitlan in Guatemala. Contemplating a few spanish or salsa lessons if we can muster the energy & quetzales. On the way home soon - yipppeeeee!!!

Great to see you eventually (in true mint style) got around to having a brilliant bash to celebrate the big 3 oh. Its all down hill from here, so you'd better get that funky board and enjoy it!

Bessitos,
Kaz & Stu xx
