I flew to Sydney to go to William Yang’s birthday party at Jack’s eccentric house in Marrickville.
His invitation said to ‘dress auspiciously please’ -so Rebekah Fogarty who accompanied me to the party gave me a Jade ring to wear to the party.
The party was a buzz of excitement with William beaming and a cellist played a chinese musical piece.
I enjoyed William’s birthday speech as he mentioned the Karen Blixon novel 'Babette’s Feast'.
Check out the story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babette's_Feast
William asked me if I wanted to meet any celebrities at the party but I was happy enough enjoying his company and of course Rebekah was charmed by Jack’s Irish charm.
Best of luck William with your performance at the 2012 Sydney Festival this year! http://www.sydneyfestival.org.au/uploads-2012/08%20I%20Am%20A%20Camera.pdf
Also Gareth celebrated his 50th Birthday by throwing a party at home in Beechmont
He certainly looks 10 years younger! I enjoyed reconnecting with his friends Kate and Max. Maurice, Anna and Maria Meagher, Madelaine, Melissa, Gerard and Lae stayed at Rosewood. It was a great party and the work that he and Warren had put into hosting the event was evident from all the people enjoying themselves! Delvae was there as was Michelle who made the most yummy of desserts.
Meanwhile news around the family was
Mum giving my nephew Leo a violin lesson

I welcomed a delightful German family from Bavaria - Melanie, Jens and their three children: Lilly, Jannes and Joris. They are from the HelpX organisation and it was a great hosting them. Jens and Melanie are both psychologists so we had some very interesting conversations. My nephew Leo also came up to play with their children and there was alot of laughter and activity around the yard. Jens was great helping me around the garden and Melanie helped in the house and we had a few laughs over cooking instructions that weren't followed. They went to do some bushwalking up in Binna Burra and are now heading south - what a great adventure for their children to be travelling.
