Katrina's Hen's Day

Despite my protests, my girlfriends decided I needed to mark the occasion of the end of my un-married days (or of 'living in sin' as one so kindly put it). So Kirri, with the help of Anne-Claire and Anna, planned a lovely afternoon for me. My sole input was the guest list, and all I knew was to turn up at The Lanes at 2.30pm on Saturday 10 March after my wedding hair consultation. It was so wonderful to see all the girls there, and we packed in an impressive amount of activities in a few short hours! The order of events was:

1. Ten-pin bowling which was lots of fun despite my best, but completely pathetic, effort


2. The ritual humiliation of attaching a veil to my head in the middle of Courtney Place


3. Even more humiliation and lots of confusion as I attempted to master the dance star machine at Time Out (end result was about 17 points awarded by the machine for accuracy and great moves, compared to Anne-Claire's 3 million or so points)


4. A blissful pig-out at Strawberry Fare (which shot down my pre-wedding diet efforts)


5. Post-prandial drinks outside in the sun at The Tasting Room where I had to answer a questionnaire about my groom and forthcoming marriage


6. Off home to put Guy to bed by 7.15pm

Here are some photos of the afternoon.

Rachel and I are on the synchronised bowling team! (mind you, she probably got another strike and I probably got another gutter ball)
