Penniedarling

 We had such a busy, exciting and happy day last Saturday that I forgot to take more photos!  Gwilym took most of the photos in my last post... but fear not, I've asked Nerys to take these couple of photos so I could tell you what really happened last Saturday!

A couple of weeks ago Nerys and Tim went to a fundraising Trivia Night and we got to talking about all the Trivia fundraisers David and I had been to over the years and what fun they'd been... after Nerys and Tim's table WON!   Nerys was on a roll and suggested we have a Trivia Birthday for me, so she went ahead and made up the questions.

We wanted the whole family present so set up Facetime on the iPad and connected to Briony and Kate in Canberra and tried to connect on iChat on my computer with TEAM-G in Macao but Tomos was in Inner Mongolia and Emma and the Children were at Disneyland in Hong Kong with my little brother Nick and his family... so we missed them :-(

Nerys did a brilliant job and divided us into Teams...
Team Penniedarling -  Pennie, Jackson, Gwilym, Emily and Remy.
Team Rock-On - David, Tim, Charlie, Briony and Kate.
Nerys gave us some Minties and offered 10 points to the team with the longest unbroken Mintie Wrapper... Em won that easily

Let the Game Begin!!  and the questions started coming...  When is QE11's real birthday?  What Animal is on the old 2c coin?  What is the Aboriginal meaning of Turramurra?  and so on... There were prizes... a choice of any one of these Favourites... yum!   There were questions just for the under 10's, there were questions for those in the entertainment world, there were questions for everyone!

Nerys added up the scores and guess what... We were all winners!  After the Birthday girl's team... Penniedarling... received another 10 points because it was her birthday the scores were equal!!  What were the chances eh  LOL!

Well done Nerrynoopoo!!  You did a Brilliant job!

It was all such a success I think we'll have to do a Trivia every family Birthday celebration  :-)
