Kelly is the one in blue. She did this for a charity she didn't win the fight but she was awesome, she said it was one of the hardest things she has done. We were very proud of her, way to go Kelly.

Made me think of Thelma and Louise

I am about to go on my first assignment I'm temping for Drake, they rang me at 4pm and asked if I would do a 12hr shift that night 6pm to 6am so I said yeah I'm up for it, but I had to go and get some safty gear first, steel capped boots, muffs, safty glass's and yes the vest. All went well didn't need to find a spot out the back to have a sleep, even though that meant I had been up 24hrs straight.

Well I think Kay is still my Friend

These photo's were taken by me at Kay's surprise 50th birthday she didn't have a clue. They are going to be away in Europe when she turns 50 so couldn't let it go by so I rang a few people and got them around to Kay's house for a pot luck, it was awesome. Peter Taylor, Scott, Kay and Sally Jordan as it turn's out it was her birthday on that night.
