Happy Australia Day!
Hi everyone we have had a very busy week catching up with friends and having a great time with 4 days off work to fill woohoo!
Saturday we eventually managed to find Melbourne's library tucked away down a little street in town and took out our first books..yey very exciting! Apparently on my membership I am allowed to take out 30 books! However we limited it to 5 between the two of us....we got a little over excited at the prospect of new reading material! I am currently reading Lord of the Rings in honour of our up and coming visit to New Zealand and Chris is amusing himself with one of the Adrian Mole classics!
Saturday night we went for some drinks in St Kilda for Kelly from work's birthday, this was nice and we got to chat to our friends from the Icehouse.
On Sunday we then returned to our favourite beach in Brighton and I was able to collect enough 'holy' shells to complete my 'not so chimey wind chime'. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of seeing this masterpiece on skype I will post photos asap! :)
As Chris gracefully put it...'Well it looks nice but there's one fundamental flaw....it doesn't chime!' I hadn't even realised up to this point but was thoroughly disapointed all the same...Chris however found this hilarious!!
Ah well... I have decided it will be my first and last beach sculpture and I have promised to pass it onto Paul and Elise when we leave...much to Chris' horror! Monday we mostly did jobs and I did some more scrapbooking! Looks like we are going to have to double our luggage allowance for me to get these albums home!
Finally Australia Day arrived and we headed once again over to Geelong to have a BBQ with Paul and Elise and some of their friends, who were all lovely! We had several games of short tennis (which got very competitive) and then sat and chatted into the early evening.
It was a great way to spend the day with Aussie friends!
Right that's all our news for now, please let us know what you have been up to on the wall if you get chance!
Lots of love
Netti and Chris xxx
