We haven't really been anywhere much, Emma went away for 10 days to her mam's. It was her mam's 60th and they had a big party. We dropped her at Perth Airport which is about 10 mins drive away. Then it was just the 3 of us, Ben, me and Digger ! We loved it, he really is a star ! He just loves coming and sitting with you when your watching telly, he follows you everywhere. We're going to try and clone him before we go so we can have one exactly like him when we get home.
Last weekend we decided to go the pictures, so we went into the city and bought loads of sweets and then headed out to Osbourne Park. It was a mahoosive cinema with about 10 screens in. We decided on watching Paranormal Activity. It was ok, we weren't as scared as what everyone was saying it would be.
This week Ben was working on a street festival at Subiaco and he was working from 8.30 to 11pm. It was all street entertainers and stages with different stuff on and he loved it. Long day though, but they've given him monday off for it and payed him his hours so he's pleased ! Another boys days for him on monday !
Friday was an awesome day for us, I arrived in from work to find a massive box labelled to Claire and Ben. On opening said box it contained ...... Socks, XL Cheese Crisps, Milky Bar Button, Milky Bars, Galaxy Ripples, Curly Wurly's and Vinegar ...... what a package !! British chocolate ....... mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm, it's been so long ! It was a hamper from my mam .... I love my Mam ! We immediately put them in the fridge cos they were a wee bit soggy but boy they tasted good that evening ! Although I much say that the Boosts over here in OZ are so much better than the ones in the UK .... sorry but it's true !
Saturday we went into the city, 37 degrees !! It was hot !! We didn't stay long really and unfortunately the trains were off so we had to catch the replacement bus back .... now that's an experience ! It was worse than any ride at Disney..... Oz drivers are nutters !
We decided to treat ourselves to a pizza for tea and Em new a nice little italian (Avanti) just down the road. We stuffed our faces with Pizza and I had Lasagne and lots of Lift to drink and then filled our pockets with loose change and hit the road looking for christmas lights. We even had a 'Christmas with the Stars' cd to listen to in the car. We headed to High Wycombe first and saw the house on Teddington Avenue. Wow, it's worth looking on You Tube at this house ..... loads of LED Lights that move to the music ..... awesome! Just opposite was another house all with loads of christmas ornaments and stuff kids could touch ... bubble machines. It was all for charity and they're both in the final for this years competition. We even got a lollie each ... a chubba chub. Next we went onto North Perth and there was another house, they were really awesome ... made us feel right christmassy ! Tonight (Sunday) we're going to the Carols by Candlelight service thats on in the park. We did something similar last time when we in Oz and it's lovely.
Just to let you's know GMTV are going to be at Cotterlsoe Beach 24th December and we're going to try and get there. I know I'm working but we're not sure about Ben .... if Ben's not then I'm not and Emma said that she's want us to have the car and to go there for the day. We'll keep you posted nearer the time but hopefully we'll be there to give you all a wave !
Hope everyone's ok at home ! Ben had some great news on Wednesday that he's a proud Uncle again. Little Rosie Anne made an appearance early morning weighing 4lb 14oz. A nice little sister for Charlie and Harry to look after. Congrats Em, Marc, Charlie and Harry ! ! We're going to have a British Chocolate Bar to celebrate !!
Merry Christmas everyone !! xx
