Today started as a very normal non eventful weekend. It was a beautiful day even though it was meant to rain and have possible thunderstorms. Myles had another day of cars planned with Ian and deb and Laura were going to sand and stain the stairs. After a morning on cleaning the house it was pretty warm about 35-36degrees and Deb Swherry and I had a swim in the pool which was lovely! Especially as the boys had fixed the waterfalls. After this the sanders were located but we needed more paper so the customary trip to Bunnings warehouse was required. Before this lunch was on the agenda so some sausages were cooked and some wrapped in foil for the boys on the way. They got their lunch and we carried on to get the required things. All very exciting when we got there greeted by a woman who was off her face screaming and shouting at 2 guys who had her restrained. Turns out she had been caught stealing drills and wasn't happy about being caught too much! Police arrived and that was that. We found the stain for the stairs very well and good but they had no Black andDecker paper at all so we were very unhappy with Bunnings and the useless man working in the tool shop department! We found another hardware shop and got what we needed which was pretty good. With this a speedy drive back home where the boys came home pretty soon after. We were setting up our sanders when we were asked to go swimming. Neither of us wanted to so Myles decides it would be a good idea to throw Me in the pool again. This is becoming a regular habit. After a 5 minute struggle he got to the pool side where he asked me why he shouldn't throw me in, with this Ian had come up behind him and just tapped him on his back over balancing him an we both went in fully clothed shoes and all! Worst part is Myles' phone was still in his pocket! It was taken out very sharpish, dried and put in a bowl of rice. Myles was hoping this would attract Asians who would fix the phone and I hoped it would draw out the water so an overall win win.
This far it's still working but we shall keep you posted! Once dry Debra and Laura carried on sanding the stairs but could only do 2 as Ian wanted to watch the news so a drink and we all sat down and watched a toy story Pixar short that was on the TV.
Tonight we were going out to the King George pub in Picton for dinner as they had a band playing. It's quite a historic place an one of the oldest pubs in Australia. It used to be a coach house where they would store English prisoners over night whist in transit. Myles had a beef burger and I had a steak and caramalised onion sandwich. I think I got the best deal but we did a swap half for half which was very nice. Debra had a seafood platter and a pizza for Ian. After enjoying the band for a while we headed back home where we are now. We're watching Johnny English Reborn which is very good. We have had a good week but not done a lot!
Love to everyone back home hope your enjoying your rain! ;) x
