Benet for dinner/Cabin Working Bee

As Fran suggested, this blog will relate the story of our friend Benet coming over for dinner. I can sort of imagine that it's similar to when Fran is at work - someone tells her to do something, and I, as her, end up on Facebook. But on with the blog/LIMs...
Here is a picture of Benet:



Benet works as the Programme Director at RDU, and is a nicely eccentric person with a good taste in music. For dinner, Fran, Melinda and I prepared a delish Veggie Lasagna, and amazing Caramalised Onions and Walnuts. And Fran whipped up a choice-as Feijoa and Ginger Cake.
Dinner was enjoyed by all. We've instituted a new policy at the Log Cabin: each visitor is given the camera and allowed to take one picture during their time here. Benet was first, and took this picture:





I think it would look rather at home in House & Garden. Perhaps not with the L&P and the $7 wine.









Stay tuned to the bLog Cabin for more tales of dining with the Christchurch Elite

Saturday morning was an unusually productive one at the Cabin. We had had two dozen pallets delivered via the transport company my mum works for - hello firewood!

With Fran 'recovering' from last night, and Netta still on the comedown in Wellington, Eamonn, Melinda and I got to work. Operation: Un-Boganify our front yard before Tuesday's inspection. Eamonn's dad David joined the party, bringing a Saw Bench, funnel and two dozI pryed the pallets apart with the crowbar, and Eamonn and Melinda transported the cut wood to the shed. We really proved ourselves worthy of living in a Log Cabin, with some hearty lumber jack activity
Yusssss! Lots of wood to keep warm. Sorta frustratingly, it was a really warm day, so we didn't need to light the fire. This is the pile of wood that Eamonn, Melinda and I will use to keep warm.
Fran and Netta will have to work quite hard to stay warm this winter. Working with this, it's not looking promising. Keep looking guys!

Love blossoms at the Log Cabin

Well only yesterday there was relationship status changes on Fcbk which announced to the world that Nettron and Dklein have got themselves engaged.






This stems from Nettrons desire for a vegan husband. She wants to play vegan wifey to him, and Dklein seems like the perfect man for the job.

Even in the early stages of this relationship, I forsee troubled times, mostly cause Nettron seems to be spending a lot of time with another man *gasp*

Also, observed last night at Al's bar:









Nettron and Dklein sitting at a table, ignoring each other, looking at everything but each other. (soz about the image, no camera so MSpaint must do the job)

How will this relationship work if they can't even stare wistfully into each others eyes while listening to the sweet soundz of Ed Muzik's Burning Sensations?

a couple of random images which should have been uploaded long ago:

This was an aplology cake from Netta to Cranford Castle after our first ever visit.


Whiteboards are fun.

Thirsty Thursday at the cabin

After deciding to call it a night and return home for a quiet one last night, Josh and myself arrived home armed with a bottle of wine and a movie... Unfortunately, half a bottle of cheap white wine was enough to fog our common sense and slowly we moved onto the vodka and then tequila accompanied by Fran and Will, (who had been doing arts and crafts in her room) David and Melinda and eventually James and T'Nealle! Throw in some poetry slams and play dough and VOILA! As you can imagine, things got rather messy by the time Matt arrived with his trusty goon! Behold the evidence which should of been destroyed! Muahahahaha!



David told us a story about being on a boat....

panda!




T'Nealle decided it was time to make us some food, of the fries variety... disco fries!


Then, in Fran's room, we got out her playdough and made an animal farm and partook in some light reading...

Then Eamonn came home, having won a lot of money off the Punks....




Dirty magazines and gamblin' money

Log Cabin group photo!

Then, as this was a log cabin reunion, Matt came round...

and we had disco fries.... and matt posted you tube videos.

Sex is destroying the world

I quite like meat, I enjoy it... Aside from days of religious observance I will enjoy it.

The flat question, is meat or sex? If you could only chose one which would you take?

I refuse to answer this.

Eamonn eats meat all day in Swannanoa.
