Afternoon Tea at the Oasis

Dear hearts,

There is a special place Miss Mich retreats to on the weekends where she can truly be herself. A place where her voice is heard and shared amongst those with similar interests in the minutia of life, ourselves (obvi..) and the state of the state (election next Sat dear hearts).

With a toast to Dame Elizabeth on her 100th B'day (and commiserations to her about the unfortunate, though billionaire son), the afternoon was off and running.

My darling B et B, gracious hosts and Miss Mich's surrogate Uncles and Father Confessors, best girlfriends and all round good guys open their little sanctuary in the Edge Hills most Saturdays and Sundays. You will often hear the great Bab's belting out tunes of revenge and regret floating over the gardens for all to hear.

It is here you will find shall we say an eclectic and exotic collection of guests and tropical fauna. Local, interstate and international. Chez B et B is truly Switzerland. Bi,- partisan, neutral, open minded and forgiving, it is the most interesting place to have a conversation and a glass of something fruity..

Miss Mich tells the boys all her secrets and shares her scandal. They love the sport stories the most..surprise, surprise...

Miss Mich's best friend Sha ron (niece of said Uncles and mother of AJ and Napoleon, the only little ones Miss Mich can bear) makes the afternoon complete with her special brand of healthy cynicism. Sha ron is convinced she will never play sport again, that she is on the bench and there are no team players out there for her. Miss Mich, ever the optimist, has told her this bitterness will pass. The look that comes across the table cuts the cheese like a knife as Miss Mich ducks and dismisses it along with the Castello (not on these hips..)

By the time Miss Mich swans out the door like Aunty Mame, little ones in wrapped around
her legs in cuddles galore, the exotic flowers by the pool discussing all things glam, the sun is setting on another day in paradise and we are all ready to face another week at the coal face that is Anna Bligh's smart state...

Enjoy Monday.

Love Miss Mich

  1. I have but one question: Who do you have to kill to get an invitation?

  2. Ah...a difficult one. Should Miss Mich reveal her secret garden, it becomes a secret no more...
