Australia Day update

Can finally post from where I am now working so will endeavour to update this more regularly.

Last weekend was Australia Day weekend. Friday was actually Australia Day. Went to BBQ at Ken and Susan' s place. All good, a little hot (32c but felt hotter next to a barbie with not much breeze) and I find I am constantly having to watch Imogen like a hawk as she is at the age where she finds it amusing to do exactly what she should - be that pinching other children, climbing anything she can, throwing things etc etc...

Left there at 4pm ish and went to Mat's (Mat Hardy) girlfriends (Alice) sister's (Fiona) house for dinner. Again all good. Mat is over with Alice, who he met in London, for a month. We are trying to convince them to move here but not sure this is working!

Saturday was 34c, hottest day so far this year. So spent a lot of the day in the pool. We also had 2 little boys to look after - Angus and Ioan - whose parents (Michelle and Paul) were out for their anniversary. The boys stayed overnight, and it was a good demonstration of how hard it would be to have 4 children!!

Then Sunday I went shopping for our trip to Fraser next weekend with Mat and Alice. http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/projects/park/index.cgi?parkid=1

and bought tarpaulin, tent poles etc - the idea being we can drive miles down the beach and set up a shaded area with the tarp, poles and car... have never done this before but it is what everyone else does so will give it a crack... Will let you know how it goes!!

Will et some more photos up soon but have to do that from home - and we fogot to take the camera out with us on Australia day. We will have Mat with us on Fraser so rest assured there will be thousands of photos...
