Fabulous Fashion

Excuse the fact that this blog is backwards.  I am still trying to figure out how to post on a Mac and don't know how to rearrange the photos!  : )

Audrey and Evelyn's moms probably didn't know

 what they were getting themselves into when 

they sat at our rowdy table.

Evelyn is a recent arrival to Perth even though

 she's been in Oz for years.  Scottish by birth, 

she also lived in Canada.  We're glad she's here!

Audrey and her mom, Liverpool natives, are extremely fun

and we love them despite the fact they never met the Beatles.

Sue and Fran choose from an array of homemade goodies.

Mary, Margi and Veronica yuk it up over 

Veronica's new discovery, tit tape.

I love Australian fashion because all the styles have a kicky edge that's really fun.  However, I haven't bought a thing because fashion is pricey here.  Luckily, I didn't need to buy to enjoy the fashion show at Veronica's tennis club.  Three of the ten ladies at our table won door prizes.  We laughed when Veronica, incredible Italian food cook that she is, won The Book of Pasta.

   

Anzac with the Girls

Anzac Day is a big holiday in Australia and New Zealand, celebrating the alliance of the two countries during World War II.   Jenny is our only Aussie native in the group but Pauline and Pat also count since they immigrated many years ago from Indonesia and England respectively.  Since I lived in New Zealand for six months, I consider myself an honorary Kiwi.  Veronica is always game for a fun outing.  Besides, who needs an excuse to get together with friends?  Certainly not moi!

Eating alfresco is a popular Aussie pastime so to commemorate the occasion, we went to a lovely sidewalk cafe to share an array of Aussie dessert delights and gasbag, as my neighbor, Spike, calls it.  Wish our friends who aren't here could have joined us!
