this weekend we had the time of our lives. we went to waroona dam, its man made and the lake is lake navarino. its beautiful. we took nearly 3 hours to drive there and have to admit that i didnt think we were ever going to get there!!! there were storms forecast for the weekend and i did wonder what kind of weekend it was going to be. storms?? what storms?? apparently there were in perth but since we were 3hours inland to the south west of perth it seemed to miss us. the weather was beautiful all weekend. mikey was water ski-ing, murrae rowed the dingys, stevi spotted on the boats for the skiers and michael and i went biscuiting! i have never been so scared in all of my life!! inflatable rings being pulled behind a speed boat with me on it??!!!! i never thought i would ever do anything like that but considering that everyone else was either ski-ing, wake boarding or on the biscuits i felt a bit of an idiot just standing there. the buscuits seemed the easiest option!!??? maybe next time i will try water ski-ing??!!! on friday we arrived, unpacked and got into some serious drinking. there were around 20 odd couples plus respective children. we had a real camp fire and a guitar! what else could you ask for? the stars were out and the kids were toasting marshmallows on the fire. saturday it was up, breakfast and away to the lake. murrae shared his breakfast with the friendly parrots that came to visit. saturday night was back from the lake, bbq and more booze! one of the guys that was with us decided at 1am that it would be a good idea to climb the tree next to the campfire. after falling off a couple of times he finally managed it but the tree didnt like it and snapped, throwing jeff to the ground! it was so funny but scary at the same time. he just got up and walked away laughing. however, no one was laughing in the morning when jeff appeared all bandaged up and hobbling off to get his foot xrayed! looks like he broke his foot as well as the tree!!! i couldnt have hoped for any better way to spend our 18th wedding anniversay, if we hadnt gone away michael would have been working and i would have been out on the piss with my friends, at midnight on friday, everyone toasted our anniversary and wished me a happy belated birthday. i will take pics of all my cards and pressies later this week. thanks folks for everything that was sent, its much appreciated!!! love you all lots. xxxxxx

We have been living in nowhere land since the move. BT could not find us, and when they did they could not get a phone line in. We have been to the shops and have all the ingredients for the tofee...we will be waiting at the airport for them bright and early, they are old enough now to use public transport!
It's good to see Murrae getting on with the local 'birds' they'll soon make a man of him. Mon Dieu mon ami!!!!!
I love the picture of Murrae checking out the parrott. He looks so cute.
See you soon Sparkle
