Clevely gathering

Had a late afternoon bbq/roast at James and Nadine's place. It was a fun afternoon and good to be with so many Clevelys! The boys swam and played TV games with Ronald; the gals chatted girl stuff in the kitchen (I learned heaps about mascara) and the men did their men stuff around the fire. We ate and ate...asparagus, lamb, fillet, butternut, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, gravy, cheese sauce, and the best-ever ice-cream: Woolworths Tin Roof choc-mint and toffee-nut. Sue had two helpings which she says she never does (do we believe her??). She confesses that her ribs were sore for days :-)
Nick and I dropped the boys off at Tony and Sue for a sleep-over with their cousins, then rushed off to see a movie. We stood around at the front of the queue for a while wondering why no one was offering to help us, then realized that it movie-ticket purchasing has become self-service, even down to swiping a credit card through the machine. We constantly see more gaps in our technological education after being on the island!
