Busy Busy Bees!

Well once again I've left it too long in writing another blog. Oh well. We have been very busy again since my last blog. I will try and sum up what we have been up to.

We have been fishing down the creek at his parents place. Where unfortunately I didnt catch anything but wade and his dad both caught 2 fish each. I was kind of hoping we were going to have fresh fish for dinner, but sadly the fish were too small to eat. But the afternoon was fun anyway.

Last weekend we went to Rocky to catch up with wades friends and do some shopping. We were going to be going camping but there were some large thunderstorms so we decided against it and just stayed at his friends house. More my type of camping! The weekend was great fun.
We had a few drinks and played 'beer pong', a game that involves trying to throw balls into your opponents 10 cups from the other end of a long table. If you get the ball in their cup they have to drink it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching, because as the game goes on the shots get worse and worse. Highly entertaining.
 We also went out water skiing on the Fitzroy river. Well again wade did, I sat in the boat and watched. Much better view for spotting crocs. As yes there has been large crocodiles in the river. And most people who know me are aware that I dont go in water as Im scared of fish. But wade and his friends had great fun knee boarding.

Wade has officially started work now. Well sort of! On Tuesday last week, we had prepared ourselves for not seeing each other for a week and said our (tearful on my part) goodbyes, and off he went to Rolleston, which is 3 1/2 hours away. However as soon as he got there he received a call from his boss who said actually mate you dont start till next week now. As you can imagine neither of us were particularly impressed. So he ended up coming home that night. However the boss did find him some work in the workshop in Gladstone for a few days so he went up there instead. Which means he has to go out to rolleston again tomorrow. Im not particularly happy about all this, as I had just come to terms with not seeing him for a week by telling myself we would get to spend all next week together. That is no longer happening now. I didnt get to see him much last week and now I wont get to see him at all this week. However on the plus side, I sleep 10 times better without him in the bed, getting a good night sleep without his elephant arm around me.

Lastly, as requested by Fee. Photos of our house.

  1. Hellooooo,
    Yes more posts please I love hearing about your new life. Though it seems so so far removed from the cold dark Huddersfield nights. I have started trying to persuade Gaz that we should move to Aus - if we could just gain some useful skills maybe he would give it more consideration. Your house looks lovely, yes more photos please, I like to see what you are up to,
    Huge hugs
    Helen (Mabes and Gaz send love also) xxx
