Weekend Update - Darn Mosquitoes!

Since this was our last weekend before we have streams of visitors, we packed in the social calendar with the Bainies. This was the first time that we had hung out with some of them since before the holidays. Unfortunately, it ended up raining for the first half of the weekend.

On Friday night, we trekked out to Paddington, where Casey and Nicole were house sitting. We had organized a pub crawl around the area and were taking advantage of being able to stay somewhere closer to the city. The group started off small with 6 of us, but as we went to each bar, more and more people had come out to join us. We were a pretty big moving group, but luckily with Nicole's navigation and David's time keeping, we moved along easily. Everyone was surprised that our pub crawl actually went to almost all the bars on the list.

On Saturday, we had a slow start in the morning and finally made it to Ben's apartment for a BBQ despite the rain. His apartment was able to hold a big crowd even though we weren't able to take advantage of his patio. We watched a lot of cricket and tennis while just relaxing. As the day progressed, it was more and more apparent that David and I had been a tasty treat to some mosquitoes. It's unclear when/where all the bites occurred, but since no one else at the BBQ was getting bit, we can only assume that it was while we had been sleeping.

Originally, we had planned to play some golf on Sunday, but since the weather hadn't been cooperating, David and I decided to head back to Manly. By the time we got home, I had developed around 20 mosquito bites, mostly on my arms. Luckily, David doesn't have as many bites as me and he has a little more self control so he's not scratching them as much as me!
