What a weekend

Well we finally named the dog after having her for almost a week we have decided she will now be known as Bindi-for that is a good name for a mutt with very sharp teeth!! As it turns out the day we named her I received a phone call to say she had managed to escape from the garden and was caught chasing out neighbours cat up the road!! It all ends well though as she was locked up in their yard for the day until I picked her up after work. All it really did was create work for me as now I had to find how she got out and continue to mesh up any possible means of escape. By the time Sarah got home I was knackered so wasn't much help in cleaning the house for the cleaner-yes you heard right cleaning for the cleaner. We have decided to get a cleaner in every second Saturday to do the house so we can have more of the weekend free to actually do things besides clean. This being her first visit we had to make sure the house was in a reasonable state for the cleaner, kind of defeats the point though was necessary for this visit I can assure you.
Saturday kicked off very early with Sar's folks arriving at 7am to begin laying the foundation for our outside wall-yes all the digging was finally over so it was now time for kippie here to mix cement for about 6 hours!! It worked really well with Sar's dad doing the pouring and levelling of the foundation and myself making sure he had an ongoing supply of "mud". We eventually finished at around 2pm-next step:build the wall.
Clayton and Julie paid us a visit on their way back to Brissie so we could show off Bindi to them then I was off to Chris' for a few icy colds I felt I had earned.
Sunday we were off to the footy after we visited the Eldridge family for lunch to celebrate Leanne's birthday. Unfortunately we could only stay for an hour as we had to get to Suncorp stadium to see the Gold Coast Titans plat St George in rugby league. This was really a big day as the Titans are the new boys on the league block and after 8 years finally have a team in the NRL. This was their first league game ever and I think half the Gold Coast were there. They played in Brisbane as the Stadium on the coast wouldn't have taken as many people as wanted tickets so common sense prevailed and they decided to use Suncorp Stadium. Good thing they did as 43000 people arrived and the atmosphere was super. It was a really good day and Sarah got to have her meat pie at the footy which really completed the day. Oh ye, the Titans lost 20-18.
