Sunday 18th, Monday 19th & Tuesday 20th

Hello all it's a 3 day blog so we shall start with Sunday I guess. 

We had a very relaxed Sunday where by we spent most the day down at Rose Bay watching the world go by and using their wifi which is great. An attempt at updating the blog was made but unsuccessful due to not enough wifi :(
This is becoming a pain so were starting to look for somewhere new to stay already! Once Laura started to get sunburnt we headed back to base for a late lunch and a few games of cards. The daytime TV is getting a bit much especially with the TV from about 11 years ago. You can imagine the fantastic picture quality we are experiencing especially since Myles walked into the aerial and broke part of it off! It all resulted to us playing cards to decide whether we walked or drove to Coles. Laura won so we were driving and she won the second game of pick the highest car so Myles was driving as well. A very grumpy Myles drove to Coles where we got some dinner and crumpets :) Bath time and then we cooked dinner. We were all snuggled down on the sofa ready for Masterchef when we heard a knock at our door. Very strange, Myles investigated and found 2 boys at the door. I say boys they were 19 turns out they were waiting for Michael our landlord who was late no surprise there! We let them in and a few seconds later Michael had arrived. This was grand except the fact Laura had her hair in a towel. We weren't expecting guests on a Sunday night! Regardless Rennie came home and they went out for a drink together and left us to Masterchef which was lovely. After that it was time for bed. 

Monday 19th
Today was another lazy day as Laura was waiting to hear about her work for the week. Trusting that Simon was useless we planned to go back to Rosé Bay to speak to him face to face. Turns out that was very right it got to 10:30 and we were ready to go do some laundry and pick up insurance paperwork from Kingscross. Laura had a wonder into the bay and found Simon who was glad to see her as he had forgotten to ring her no surprises there eh? He said he would try to put her in for as many shifts as he could and also get Myles started working as well. Well if there was ever any work we would both have a job! After this a trip into Kingscross. This is a 2 man job because we can't legally put our car anywhere so one of us has to guard it whilst the other goes and does jobs. Once the insurance was sorted and washing done we headed back home to hang it out. Trouble was the buggers from upstairs had put their washing on the line! So we had to cover the house in washing! Chairs were all used and the heater turned on. Luckily the sun had gone in as a bad omen to them! Ha. 
Lunch was noodles for Myles, a sandwich and a crumpet for Laura. Very exciting things to add to our food blog. 
After this we didn't do a lot due to rubbish weather. We competed playing iPhone games and generally loitered around for the evening. 

Tuesday 20th we were awoken by a person being noisy which was rather annoying as this was the first time it ha ever happened. This was then interrupted by the Australian phone ringing. It was 9:30 and SIMON was calling. Excited by the hope of work it turned out Laura had 2 hours work on Thursday followed by a meeting about the Rotas. At this point I think a new job is needed... Regardless breakfast was next on my agenda but I couldn't make it because SOMEONE was using MY toaster... And my breakfast plate. This was rather rude but I was unphased I cooked Myles' crumpets and peanut butter then dried up my plate to use mine. Grump. After this Laura headed outside to put the washing on the line as the people upstairs had moved out! Mwaha
It was mostly dry but thought it would be nice anyways. Laura then found a hose and started playing with it leaving Myles peeking around the door wagging his finger. We then decided to wash our car. Laura was in charge of the hose and Myles did the washing part. After this more TV and lunch which was left over pasta and meatballs from the night before. As the people from upstairs had moved out we went to see if they had left their keys so we could use their oven. Turns out they didn't so we text Michael to acquire the keys. But we did acquire a mouse for the laptop which will be useful for playing MineSweeper. Next it was shopping time and as it was a sunny day we walked to Coles. We were also very very grumpy about our cheese grater we bought earlier in the week! It was useless it bent and then cracked so we took it back. We bought a new bigger and better cheese grater along with the usual things. 
Once we were home we saw the upstairs people come back and they left their keys in the cupboard! Once they drove off we ran upstairs to investigate. They had a working oven great! Myles went on the hunt for Wifi and Foxtel (SKY) cables. He was successful but the wifi didn't work. Boo. Going downstairs we had a play with the newly acquired Foxtel cables using Marks knowledge of TV cables that Myles had learnt, co-ax cable was cut, connected and finally got a TV picture. We still got the same old channels however is now the Australian equivalent of HD (just less grainy) after this we wrote this big blog. We're now off to post this online for you all to read you lucky people. The reason you get it early is so Laura won't be blind anymore as she needs mummy to find out her glasses perception so she can get some glasses. Oh and we're having KFC for dinner!!! Very exciting. Bye for now :)
