i message my mate Giff, and asking him if he’s around for me to pick up a couple kegs that we’d spent the summer brewing. ask him if he’s gonna be able to drop by. I get a 50-50 response, fair enough.

i had been messaging shenae through a slow day at work wondering whether i should put something together for my birthday. I dont care to be celebrated, but i do love putting together an event and the act of celebrating - thats joyous for me.

figured i’d left it all to the last minute. But two days before I hit crew up and managed to turn out 80-90 people. 

Its really wonderful when crew rock up for you. We put on a couple kegs of beer Giff and I had brewed, some pulled pork, and some solar powered beats.

I went for a swim and the water was beautifully still  and crystalline.

At sunset we marched everyone over to the drop off to watch the sunset. It was amazing and my little disposable camera without any settings falls so short of being able to try and capture it.  

The sunset felt like it went for hours and left the sky painted and lit for ages after the sun had dropped. 

it’s so wonderful to consistently have crew turn out for you.

lovely that people are there for you and want to be there for you and with you.

we’d thrown together a solar panel, a deep cycle battery and an inverter to power some lights and some big speakers. I’ve got a little transportable system for the beer and the food was kept brought to temp in the oven hours earlier and then allowed to continue to cook with the residual temp in an esky well insulated with towels.

mum, nato, probably yasmins pealy back.

the sun was remarkably hot and there was no shade for the first few hours. luckily we use this rugby field because the padlock is left dummy locked. we just manouvered the troopy around to give crew some shade

brooke post swim

saying g’day to my mate katie. people were constantly rocking up and it never feels like you get to spend solid time with people. so its important to give crew a big fucking gday

the pilgrimage to catch the sunset.
