This afternoon, we went into Auckland to Jacqueline's work to see her offices's RWC celebrations (all the banks had been assigned countries and they had to decorate them accordingly!) and it was amazing - every team had really gone to town on the decorations and the whole office seemed to have really taken on the spirit of the event and put loads of effort into it!
My favourite ones were Wales (of course!) and Japan and England (take a look at the photos - Office Celebrations) I couldnt quite get over how much everybody had really got involved in it, I mean Italy managed to get a Vespa up the lift to their bank!
As part of the celebrations the office had a Sausage Sizzle as well, which if I have understood correctly, is pretty similar to a BBQ but you only have sausages and slices of bread and you wrap the sausage in the slice of bread and enjoy! Et voila! Yummy indeed!
After the office party we left and went for a drink at a pub in the centre of Auckland then walked down to meet Dale at Wynyard Quarter which is a new area of Auckland that runs right along the harbour, lots of bars, restaurants and shops etc. About half way down we let the boys go and meet Dale (because Thursday night is Boys night and Girls arent allowed - which is fine because Thursday night is also Girls night and Boys arent allowed) and Jac, Mish and I all went to a bar for drinks and secret lovely food in a bar called The Conservatory which was made out to look like a garden and well, a conservatory(!) and I had a sour apple drink that promised to make my lips pucker like a cats bum (or so the label said....) I'm tough as old boots though and didnt think it was *that* sour.... (maybe a little)
After that we all met up and went back to the house, were we spent a good hour or so watching you tube clips in the media room (sofa's big TV, projector screen, all decorated with RWC flags etc) where we rediscovered Family Guy, Adam West's Taffy love and Side Boob, which we soon discovered would be my nickname for the rest of the trip...
...You like that Side Boob? How bout this Side Boob?....Well, you SHOULDN'T, it's myyy Side Boob....
