Our guests were on behalf of Sal her flatmate Paul & her sister SJ (one of our fave Brunch club guests) & Mark (for his third brunch appearance of the year). On behalf of Brad; Adrian (come again) and finally on behalf of Andrew his friend from Barcelona Thiago. Curiously Thiago informed us that 'Orto', the name of the cafe, means anus hole in Spanish. Nice!!
Stories of 2012 including our various overseas adventures this year, my TAFE Christmas party staff awards, Paul's cricket adventures, SJ's cosmetic surgery were interspersed with phone calls from Mummy bear demanding mangoes.
Our quiz was not the climatic 20 that we were wanting for the end of the year despite 8 people answering. Still some impressive answers from Adrian knowing JRR Tolkein's South African birthplace & that George Bush snr served as the head of the CIAA as well as being the president.
Adios 2012.
The place itself was enjoyable & pleasant but our coffee order got terribly confused which wasn't a good start. Still, food was great so in the Christmas spirit of Jean Valejean rather than Scrooge we won't begrudge them.
ANDREW SAYS: 4 golden eggs to end the year. P.S do you like my Christmas present for my gran namely a Hot Royals Calendar?
