In the Drip Tray

Bren in the Drip Tray kitchen
Ready for class, and looking mighty fine.

Karen and Sarah
Chatting in the drip tray is a nightly event.

Sarah, Goddess of the Kitchen

Sarah cooks up a storm - she is a fantastic cook and we love her for it. Mango salsa, anyone? Pancakes for breakfast? Fresh sausages I made myself? No prob.

Groups

The whole gang, with Kim.

Week 3 group
All of us are still here in week 3, with David G.

Where's week 2? I really don't know. A teal eldritch in a purple muumuu must have stolen the photos on a dark stygian night.

 

Reading in the city

We went to the city to read from our stories, to an audience of... hardly any. Matt's vomit story nearly put the amazed locals off their steaks. A good time was had by all.

We ended up in pelting rain waiting for the taxi and arrived flustered and wet in the bus. I then took the following photos for posterity.

Chris and Wendy in the bus

Bren, Wendy and Claire on the way to reading

Alinta and Grace in the bus on the way to reading

Chris, Bren and Claire in the bus

Matt on the way to the reading... is he worried?

Chris after his reading

Wipe-on pheremones? You can buy this stuff? Cool! Chris then did wipe it on and all the girls had a sniff. It smelled remarkably like toilet air freshener to me. Claire, on the other hand, wanted more sniffs.

Hilarity afterwards centred around the discovery
of wipe-on pheremones in the men's

More hilarity

Kim Wilkins and Matt
