It's been a while!!!

I know, I'm lazy... I haven't posted in AGES!!!! but that's because we've had a really quiet time of late which is just what the doctor ordered!! It's been such a busy year and now in the lead up to Christmas it's going to be busy again, but not too bad this year!

Things with the daycare are going well. I'm full now which is good for the bank balance! I had my first friday off in ages 3 days ago.. and it was nice! I cleaned, had Yum Cha with friends for lunch, met Stu in the city and then we both had hour long massages, drinks at Fridays with Pen and some of her friends, and then continued on to dinner in the valley afterward (at Bow Thai.. where else?)

Stu's off again this week - traipsing around North Qld.. he's pretty chuffed that his hire vehicle is a fully optioned Statesman! (Leather and all!!!) When he gets back we have Christmas with his family on the Saturday and then we are off to the Sunny Coast for a week for a much needed Holiday! No rest for the wicked though over the Christmas period with only the Public Holidays to call our own, but that's okay! At least he's not working up at Woodford like last year.. we can sit in the air con and watch movies all day and just chill with the puppies! We are adding Bailey to the mix while Soni & Rod are away in Europe for three weeks... He's been unwell of late. Needs to be given injections twice a day to pretty much keep him alive.... fingers crossed that nothing happens to him while they are away and while we are the responsible party!!!

We've taken Jack up the beach twice... and both times the gearbox has overheated... (no damage... just warning lights!) we have realised that there is a guard around the gearbox.. and it likes to collect sand, which makes it rather warm under there! Stu's going to remove it before we head off road again. We were going to be going to a gathering at Double Island Pt with a 4wd group we've found.. but it's next Saturday.. and I don't think Soni would like us ditching Christmas for some driving on the sand! We're going to camp with the club at Charlie Moreland in January! Our holidays for next year are all sorted! Neurum Creek at Easter (with the dogs) Thailand for two weeks in June, a couple of days in Sydney in September for Blair's Wedding and a week in Nambucca Heads in November (hopefully in Rod & Soni's 200 and Van!) I think the year is split up quite nicely!!!

Best Wishes to all for this festive season! I hope you enjoy spending time with your families and spread the love! Lets hope that 2010 is more calm!
