Birthday party - but not at the beach

Well, the hot weather changed to a Southerly after tea yesterday. We had been planning a beach barbeque for Rowena's birthday today - should have held it on Thursday! The party plans have evoloved in the last 20 hours. We whipped round and borrowed Twister from a neighbour and sorted out a couple of other games to have at home.

This afternoon has been getting finer and finer, though still a wind. The final plan is to start with pressies, then take 8 or 9 girls to the swimming pool, then back here for the food (sausies done in the oven, not on the barbie). The party has started early as R had to be dropped off here, so they are warming up with Twister. It's a really good mixing game for 13 yr olds.
