We had a Welcome (for the new students) as well as a Welcome Back Party (for the rest of us) which Jennifer (Reynolds), Martins and Yuka graciously held at their house. Everyone was invited, and quite a few turned up, some even in their beachwear. Apparently all of us were supposed to be good sports and live up to the "Beach Party" idea, but Father Winter put slightly different ideas in the heads of most of us. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was COLD!!

Denni, Jennifer and Yuka lived up to the theme.

So did George, Heather and Yevgeniy.

And Nicole was the sunshine of the party.

Mind you, Janis also had some sunshine to add, while David tried to show that HE was the real boss in the IR office.

In the meanwhile the beautiful women were in the business of being beautiful,

all over the place,

the party was progressing...

withJennifer acting the gracious host, and Cyril acting the gracious figure in shades of black and gray...

people were falling in love all over the place...

and the new kids busily examining their drinks while Jennifer (Wauson) looked on approvingly...

while George...

George...

George...

George...

George was bloody well EVERYWHERE!

(and I was jealous!!!)
