Birthday Eve - Media and Tarts

Do you know what today is?  It is the eve of the first major birthday party since HH has been a part of my life

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12769603

Love this image - thanks BBC!  So hard to believe that on 16th July (tomorrow) it is exactly 149 years since the first brick was laid on the soil of East Brisbane to mark where the Grand Lady was to lay her roots.

Let's face it - we at HH land love any excuse for a party. And trust me, this is one major milestone party!  A year long celebration until the big 150!

So who do we turn to when we need to exploit a major media occasion? Some would say anyone with the name Kardashian. But we at HH have our own resident media tart without compare...

Superstar Tea Cosy HH - just look at her in this shot in the brazen light of day cosying her way into the action on the birthday present table at sister-in-law's milestone birthday recently.

Some would say her place was rightfully on the high tea table.

She was there (momentarily) - doing her thing with her peer group - the infamous silver teapot and various members of her coffee and tea cup fraternity.

But not our Superstar Tea Cosy. Bored with such mediocrity, she, instead,  moved to greener pastures and was celebrity-spotted at various points during the afternoon making a total nuisance of herself

Fraternising with the delectable delicacies

Harassing  the Cake Kiosk cooks whilst they were busy concocting our coffees

Honestly, does this Superstar Tea Cosy tragic know no bounds? One moment she was pulling a punch at the fruit juice table...

Then, when she decided their company was beneath her , she punched way above her weight and joined the champagne jet set.

I see that I may need to keep her in check in the future! But be warned - her influence knows no bounds - look what I saw at Pillow Talk this week...

OMG they are breeding, taking over the world!  I am sure HH's Superstar Cosy started all this - she is only set on one thing - conquering the world with a million tea-cosilet followers.

So you have been warned! And this invasion started with an innocent smothered cosy being rescued from the dark mission brown cupboards of HH. The rest, they will say, is history.

But she was not the only media tart this last week:

I was invited into 4BC to share an update on where the Great Green Lady was at (apparently they replayed the interview with me they did on 19 March after the fire) - I was pretty teary then.

The lovely team from 4BC were delighted to report I seemed happier 3 months later

Anyway, it was fun. I was overwhelmed how busy a radio station can be early in the morning - thanks 4BC - your support means a lot to HH. In fact, I think you are deserving of a coveted HH Blog's Award for Community Service

This is the third award bestowed by this blog - Radio 4BC now is in very good company with Baker HH and Neighbour HH - all outstanding corporate citizens - and all very deserving of this recognition.

So back to the history - tomorrow is the 149th birthday of HH. But today was another milestone because, on the Eve of 150 look at this fabulous array of images I caught today at HH

Yes it might just look like a toilet to you - but this is a very special addition to the HH landscape - it is the builder's "dunny".  It means the builders must be back!

But this was not the only salient image from today - you will not be disappointed, I have more!

New revised plans were plastered to my office wall

Acros arrived - I can only dream to suspect this means the roof coming off is nigh (weather permitting!)

sources of electricity were dotted around the grounds

How serious is this?  We now have meticulously designated parking areas! I might be able to make a small fortune if I put this sign out on cricket day at the Gabba!

And, king of kings, my favourite friend returns - the skip man (how I have missed you!) - this means business people!

Such an occasion was cause for serious applause. I let loose and bought not one, but two, bulk bags of the officially designated lollies of the house - Red Frogs (by appointment to Hanworth House)

Acros might prop up the roof, but the red frogs sugar fix will prop us up as the 150th birthday draws near. The white board was cleaned and was officially declared back in action

It was a good day.  Nice to see people back,  motivated and ready to start again.  With 365 days to go  I officially declare the year ahead  HH Festival 150 . Superstar Cosy, and related media tarts, have much work to do putting this event on the map. Stay tuned!
