well tonight is sunday and i talked to my daddy. i got told off for not updating this often enough! (well not really!! but he did comment there was nothing new!!) its been hot hot hot here!! this week the temperature has tipped the scales in the 42 degree mark. now anyone who has ever experienced this will know that its stifling!!! i walked to the end of the drive in the afternoon and the streets were deserted!! no sounds of laughter from the bowling club, no cars and no people!!! all you could hear were the birds and the steady hum of hundreds of air conditioning units!!!! monday was labour day and of course i was working!!!! after work michael picked me up and we went to gordon and barbs. the kids of course were straight in the pool and we kicked back with some champers. it was a lovely way to unwind from work!! the kids also made use of the very delightful spa with lots of bubbles!!! stevi has been heading to the beach after school and making the most of the laid back lifestyle here in beautiful sunny perth. murrae the poor boy unfortunately has been affected by the heat the most and we found him asleep on the couch one morning with the air con full blast! he comes in from school with sweat pouring down his little chubby very very red face!!! stevi when not heading for the beach, throws herself on the couch and cranks up the air con! the bliss of working in a fully airconditioned hospital is not lost on me, poor michael has no aircon where he is working!! yesterday we bought a new camera, its fab. 7.1 mega pixels and 10 x zoom AND its got a video and audio feature so watch out i may be posting videos in the future!!! i have been playing with it all day, taking pics of everything that moves and stuff that doesnt!!! the one of michael is of him outside his work and the lizard thingy was on the decking at dave and mechelles today!! mikey has applied to continue his apprenticeship and spent the day at a training centre doing the safety stuff. the freebies he came home with were fantastic, he got safety sunglasses for summer, clear ones for winter, a very fetching sun hat, sunscreen, gloves and earplugs, oh and a pen and a free lunch!!! i will try and post some of the pics i took with his gear on and his boxers!! and last night i went out with nat and joe! i didnt take any pics which is probably just as well!!! we did a couple of tequilla slammers and nat is well out of practice so one minute she was pleasantly tipsy then next totally shitfaced!!! well now i guess that means i actually told my dad a lie tonight when i said that i hadnt been doing anything!!!! SORRY DADDY!!!
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO LYNN AND ALEX ON THE BIRTH OF BABY BEN!!!!!!
A HUGE THANKS TO SUSAN AND HER MUMMY FOR PROVIDING ME WITH CHOCOLATE AND WALKERS CHEESE AND ONION CRISPS!!
