A bunch of crazy middle aged women all away together for 3 days and 3 nights. An esky full of wine and the only rules are the exercise rules, both weight bearing and balancing rules ... that we lift our full wine glasses, evenly between our left hand and our right hand.
The first group of men to pass by us, while we were socialising in the barbecue/pool area, were equally middle aged and attempting to capture our attention by being charming and friendly. One of the girls commented on how attractive the big belly and noticeable breasts were on the leader of the pack.
I screwed my nose up and questioned the sanity of we women ... and the attractiveness of said men.
The second group of males to pass by were young, mid 20s in various states of undress. Tanned tone bodies, six packs .. you get the picture.
The leader of our group was quick to point these males out to me and challenged me to capture their attention .. I love a good challenge!
Two fingers raised to my mouth and a very long and loud wolf whistle emanated from within.
This made the girls ... all 11 of them ... squeal with delight and giggle like teenagers, while the males in question, all smiled with pride, as if we were much younger and much more attractive than we really were.
They must have been chuffed and flattered, because when they returned from their walk up the road, they came straight back past us (to the sound of another wolf whistle) and spent a good deal of time in the pool spa.
The leader of our group had just enough wine to spend a short period of time chatting and flirting with said males. Nothing would ever eventuate there, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story (good advice, I have discovered, from a fellow photographer).
As I sit here, the second apartment, just across the hall, which is full of the real party animals, is pumping with music and giggling women, who have all had just a little too much to drink.
This apartment, that I am sharing with 5 other women, is quiet ... after the obligatory "night grandpa" "night John Boy" "night Mary Jo" and everyone has settled into their comfy beds ready for a good night's sleep.
I am incredibly annoyed with myself, having brought all my camera gear, and prepared to be the recorder of all things embarrassing, my battery ran flat after about 30 photos ... I came back to the room to change the battery, only to discover that the second battery was also flat.
Luckily, I keep a third battery for just such occasions, but alas, it was also flat!!
I checked my suitcase and even worse, I have not packed my battery charger!
So the girls have been given a reprieve tonight.
I announced that their antics would not be recorded tonight, and that they should make the most of it, because tomorrow night, I will make up for it!
So the only photo that I have to share today, is the one that I took with my iphone from the balcony of the Mooloolaba Surf Club this afternoon, as we drank our $14 cocktails.
A good time is being had by all. The party is still rocking next door and the snoring is getting louder from the rooms in this apartment.
Nite all.
