Winter!


Well, its been a while since I posted last - Anzac Day I think? So I thought I'd pop another one up?

Today is 31st May and its well and truely WINTER here!

Its thundering overhead and they've issued a severe weather warning for Bunbury and Mandurah (about 100Kms south) as they expect high seas and high winds etc. It reminds me of the weather we had around Torbay before we left - They closed the sea front road for days in Torquay!!!


So, as its going to piddle down, we're going to watch DVDs, make cakes and stuff - Oh, we'll probably pop to Ikea - Yes, Ikea, as PP needs an airer to dry the washing and the girls like playing with the stuff there. They also do rather nice meat balls!


We also pushed the movers on when we're gonna get our piggin' furniture and the good news is that they can deliver next Weds!!! YIPPEE!


We're more than a little fed up with sitting on garden furniture now - It's been seventeen weeks!!!


Tomorrow is my birthday and its the big one too, but as work have decided not to pay me this week - LONG storey, but a mix up with submission timing by my boss, we'll be celebrating my day by doing...

...nothing!

Just wait till next week, when they DO pay me after all!!!

The thunder is still banging away, but its not raining yet and the sun has just popped out too (Weired weather at the moment) and we're gooing to collect Caity from her sleep over she had at Suzzie's b'day party last night, so better go before it pours.

See you all soon,

Anzac day



Anzac or (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) day is just like rememberance sunday in UK, except EVERYONE gets the day off and HEAPS of Aussies go to Kings Park at DAWN to remember those lost in the War (In France!)

We didn't go at dawn, but went later in the day, as it was a goodun! The views across the city are spectacleear!!! so thought you'd like to see a couple of shots we took WHILST DRIVING too!

(PP took the photos, I was driving!! lol)

Scitech




Sci tech is a science museum / exhibition in Perth and we went there last week to give the girls something to do (I didn't want to go of course, but I'll do anything for a peaceful life!!!) Yeah, right!




It was FAB!!!




HEAPS of things to play with and shows called Flour, Fuel and Farts and another one called No Batteries required and we went into their Planetarium, where we were given the low down on the Southern Hemisphere's Nighttime display. We even saw the milky way!!! Brill!




We had a go on all sorts of experiments and games and things, but didn't take the piggin camera inside, so all you guys get to see is the OUTSIDE! You'll have to come and visit us, so we can take you inside!!!?!!!
