It's Spring .... Let's Party !!

Hey, Gang ... It's Spring here in Australia, and I would like to invite you all to a "Welcome To Spring" Blog Party. Come on in and join us !!

I've got the champers chilling (and the soft stuff, too, for those that don't drink) ... here, have a glass ...

I've got some really yummy nibblies happening ... my famous guacomole dip with crunchy corn chips; a huge cob dip (cheese, bacon, spring onions, corn) ... it's just heating up, it'll be ready soon; heaps of finger food (no, not real fingers, don't be silly !!!) ... what would you prefer - Indian, Mexican, Italian, German, Aussie ... we've got the lot; and of course the obligatory chips, nuts and stuff. Hope you're hungry ... dig in !!

I've got the iPod and speakers cranked up real loud, playing the best music, all the fun party stuff ... any preferences. Oooh, I know, let's do the Chicken Dance, that's always fun, and then the Nutbush ... yay ...

I think you know plenty of the people who are here ... why don't you mingle awhile.

Hope you are having a good time, I know I am. I looooove parties. I'm really glad you could come, it's great to see you. Hang on, someone's started a Limbo game ... let's join in (watch your back, wouldn't want you to hurt it !!!). I wonder who is the best limbo-er ??

Ooops, I forgot ...

A PINCH AND A PUNCH FOR THE FIRST OF THE MONTH !!

I get you every time ...

What ?? You have to go now ... oh, no, is it that time already ?!?! It's always a shame when a party has to end ... I really hope you had a great time ... I sure did. Let's do it again real soon. Did you have enough to eat ?? And drink (you aren't over the limit, I hope ... please don't drive if you are, I'll call you a taxi !!). Thank you so much for coming.

Hope you enjoyed the party.

See you again real soon.

Take care,

MEOW

Daybyday ... I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for coming. What is Aussie food .... now that's a good question !!!! Anything you want it to be (no, really, just simple stuff, I guess, like party pies, sausage rolls, little boys ... aka cocktail franks, and stuff like that, I spose !!). I don't really know if Aussies have anything really Aussie ... any takers, fellow Aussie readers ???

3catsmeow4me ... thank you, I intend to !!! Hope you have a pleasant Autumn ... too bad it's followed by Winter !!

Take care, party hard, Meow

Great party! You are heading into spring with flowers budding and trees putting their finery on! Soon we will be heading to trees of lots of colors, raking leaves and a fire in the fireplace. I am so ready for the cool air of autumn!

Thanks for the drink, the food and the fun time. I think I pulled my back out doing the limbo!

Alice said...

I had a great time, thank you.

Sorry about whanging you full in the face when you playfully 'punched' my arm though. Reflex action. Flaw of mine. Has your nose stopped bleeding yet??

;-)

It's nearly autumn here. The leaves have already started to turn a month early now the blistering heat has eased.

I like autumn. It's a fantastic time of year; the sights, the smells, the brisk fresh air, the rich, warm comforting food, the fact it's my birthday in a month and 13 days...

...Yep. Great season, autumn.

Have a fantabulous weekend, Meow!

:-)

Ok i just did my back in after the limbo, who do i sue?! LOL!

You've been a busy girl, i've not been bowling for ages, sounds like you had a blast!

Aussie food, how bout Lamingtons, tim tams, and a good old BBQ :o)

Meow (aka Connie) said...

Alice ... glad you had fun. But woah, both my eyes are turning purple. Girl, what'd you go and whang me in the face ... it was only a playful punch in the arm. Oh well, it'll have to do as a new fashion statement ... it'll match the dress I'm wearing to the dance tonight !! But I forgive ya, you're too lovable to stay mad at !! It looks like you're counting down the days till your birthday ... October 14th if I calculate correctly !

Jean-luc ... thank you for coming, hope it was worth the long trip !!

Kimananda ... you came, how cool. The guest list is pretty good, thanks for mentioning it. More people still to arrive, though (hopefully) ... don't go yet !!

Brian ... welcome, glad you enjoyed the party. I've left you a comment on your blog ... it's cool with me to link (should I be scared, though ?!?!)

Michelle ... hope the back comes good ... that's what you get for trying to go tooooo low ... you naughty girl !!! My mind was in a blank, thinking about Aussie food ... yeah, lamingtons, timtams, barbies ... thanks.

Take care, friends, and have a great weekend ... Meow
