This morning I seemed to wake up about 7:30am for no reason, still be tired, and be unable to sleep. No one else was up, so I just got up and had breakfast etc while checking out all the surf cams. There didn't look to be that much around as the swell is dying, so I just bummed around and waited for everyone else to get up. Cecily's friend was still here and it was overcast but not raining, so we decided we'd go to Noosa for the day. We got to Noosa about 12, w...

This morning I woke up about 8:30am when I heard everyone moving around in the kitchen etc. I got up and had breakfast and got the low down for the weekend. We were thinking of going to Noosa to walk around with some friends, but the weather was horrible so we didn't have anything to do today. I checked the webcams to be pleasantly surprised - Carrimundi was meant to be really good, for the first time since I have been here. I threw all my stuff in the car and w...

I had my day off today but still ended up waking up about 7am when Diggor and Cecily were getting ready for school. I checked the webcams and ended up going surfing after breakfast, about 8:30am.

After about 20 minutes and copping some pretty good beatings, it was apparent it real...

Day 14 fruit picking - I slept in Diggor's room last night as the varnish smell from the floor had made by room pretty potent. I don't think I could have slept as well, as I was quite tired today. It absolutely hammered it down on an off all morning at work today, making it even muddier and harder to work in. There wasn't much fruit to be picked again as the rain is stopping anything ripen, so we all finished at 12. We also have tomorrow off as nothing will ha...

Day 13 fruit picking - The morning started rather eventfully when I was driving to work and I almost hit a huge Kangaroo as it jumped across the road right in front of the car. Fortunately I avoided it, or it could have been pretty serious. It was then a pretty horrible day at work too - there had been so much rain (and showers while we worked) that all the patches had got a couple of inches of mud in, for us to have to try and push our trollies through.. Despi...
