Time Flies

I haven't been able to post from last Friday for the simple reason that I have had absolutely zero zip nil bloody time over the last 5 days. Work just seems to be getting busier and busier as the days go by and before we know it will be time to put those Christmas lights up again!!!!

Well the quiet weekend last week wasn't as quiet as originally planned though it was not a big one by any means. Friday we watched a video at home-can't recall the last time we did this and Saturday was spent just cruising between shops, going out for lunch and continuing to lay cement around the rocky edges in the garden-for some reason every time I start mixing cement it is about 35 degrees outside and it is like a pringles add of once you start you can't stop so I just keep going. It will all pay off soon as we are starting to see the difference in the yard. Our quiet Saturday night never came about as Chris came over and was looking for someone to have a beer and watch the rugger with so Sar's and I headed over the Chris' place for some snags on the BBQ and watch some footy. It was a really pleasant evening which ended before closing time as we had to do this fun run in Brissie at 6.30am which meant leaving the Coast at 5.30am.

The run went really well though I only found out later it was for National Woman's Day!!!! I really enjoyed it and pulled up really well on Monday. The route was really nice as we headed out along the Brisbane River on the Southbank side crossed over then through the Botanical Gardens to the sound of pipers playing waltzing Matilda!!! Go figure, it was back across the river into Southbank and to the finish. It was a really good way to start the day though by three pm the day was effectively over as Sar's and I fell asleep on the couch in the comfort of an air-conditioned home.

Work has been crazy though I finally got my new car which has been on its way for about 6 months. It is a Holden,Vauxhall,Opel depending where you live Crewman, the same as the one pictured above though White. It is basically the Holden Commodore interior with a bin on the back. Schweet.

We have booked our trip back to SA for May. We will be in the Republic from 3 May to the 20th so please do get in touch if you are going to be around. Our time will be spent mostly in Kloof though we will be having the odd night or two going to game parks and hopefully spotting some large animals. Sarah has not seen Elephant and Lion so that is our goal while we are there. Please get in touch if I don't have your email address as we will be having a mini wedding celebration when we arrive and would hate to miss anyone.
