Tour de Melrose

The final result

Had an awesome Saturday afternoon gallivanting around my neighbourhood on a scooter dressed up like a disco diva....all part of Tour de Melrose.
Tour de Melrose was organised by digsmate in order for all the digses in the area to get to know each other...and of course, an excuse to dress up, play games and drink too much!
Stage 1 was a civilised croquet, boulle and Pimms afternoon at the girls' digs....a chance for everyone to meet and greet, enjoy a cup cake and bang a mallet and all and all ease into the afternoon.
After a slight smattering of drizzle, which did nothing to dampen the mood, we all had to set off for Destination 2.
It must have made a hilarious picture to see 30 people riding scooters, skateboards, plastic toy motor bikes, trolleys and even a wheelchair around Melrose.
Destination 2 = the Pink Digs (which is not actually pink at all it turns out) was time for boat races with a Brutal bomb, a bit of table tennis and more chatting. Sadly partner and I lost the match and our punishment was downing  jelly baby flavoured straight vodka. yum. not so much.
By this time, everyone very merry and we headed to Wanderers to catch some of the Super 15 rugby...unfortunately the bar we chose had no dstv so after a quick drink we headed down to Acropolis for the Final Destination.
Hot dogs, human jenga and dancing in the bar ensued......lasting, for me, until about 9pm when I snuck upstairs for a power nap...got busted by a phone call from Curly...and proceeded to go to sleep for real.

An awesome awesome afternoon...and perhaps I shall remember one or two of the peeps I meet for next time.
A trolley of empty bottles and a motor bike or two still stands outside our front door. Good times.
