FORGOTTEN BIRTHDAY PICS

 Some time ago our CEO, Chiou See, asked Bill if he would live stream her son's wedding so that her family in Singapore and the bride's family in Japan could watch the wedding live, since they couldn't travel here for the wedding due to Covid 19.

So we went along to the wedding held in an historic house courtyard in Brisbane. We spent all afternoon live streaming the wedding until Bill's Phone sent a message saying "iPhone is too hot turn off." Then Bill continued on Chiou See's phone.

It was a lovely wedding and we enjoyed the job even though we were tired when we got home. The bride's mother and Chiou See  thanked us profusely for doing this so their families could watch. Chiou See said she would like to pay for us to go to dinner at her favourite French Restaurant  as a 'thank you' for doing the filming.

So on my birthday last month we booked up to go to Aquitaine Restaurant at South Bank. We invited friends, Val and Peter to come with us. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the view lovely.

    1. We did it via live video on facebook. We had to put all the families contacts into Bill's phone.

  15. Belated 🎂happy birthday wishes to you, Diane, and what a nice treat you received for Bill’s video efforts. Everyone looked happy and the meal looked wonderful. More cheese would have been nice with all that bread, I agree.

  17. That's nice that Bill was the cameraman of a wedding ! In our age we are going more often to funerals, so that was a nice exception and the food looks delicious too !
