What a fun day I had today. It was our Christmas golf game and party day. Jessie, Jane and I played together, unfortunately Nola couldn't join us as she had to rush into work but...

...she could make it for lunch. The theme this year was "The Movies'" and we dressed up as the ladies from "Hairspray".  I thought Valerie, Jenny, Jan and Irene looked fabulous  as the nuns from "Sister Act".  We were all up dancing for hours after lunch, a very successful Christmas party.

Here are a couple of pretty photos that Pete put up on instagram of the Cocoa Golf Resort in Japan where he is at the moment with Gareth...looks gorgeous.

The stunning bright yellow of the Nuytsia floribunda (known locally as the christmas tree) against the bright blue sky on our golf course today....

How lucky am I to work on this beautiful campus...

Waiting for our guests...

Celebrations tonight for Natasha's birthday...

It was a perfect night to eat outside and we all seemed to have a good time. Jo and Ash joined us and Mandy and Graeme as well, of course.

The beautiful pine trees that are in and around Curtin University....years ago this land that the university is on was the Collier pine plantation. The trees were planted in 1925 by the WA Forests Department. 

At the golf club today we celebrated Jan and Jenny's birthdays, two delightful ladies that I am glad are my friends.

It is also Tasha's birthday today and she sent me this photo of her at her morning tea that her colleagues had made for her. I am so pleased that she works with such thoughtful people.

Todd put this photo up on instagram ...looking forward to celebrating with them both on Friday.
