Nearly Australia Day !

Hello Strangers !
Sorry it's been lots of days since our last confession ... I mean Blog ! Sorry peeps, we're still alive and at Perth ! Just been working and eating, working and eating ! Ha ha, just like being back at home really. Can't really remember what we're done since the last time we spoke. We're both fine, apart from me (Claire) being covered in bites ... la'al buggers !
We're found the local swimming pool and we've been there a couple of times. Massive outdoor pool, very refreshing ! We're building up the lengths .. about time we actually did some exercise. We've watched some DVD's and eaten lots of Baskin Robbins Ice Cream ! We attended a quiz "Team Diggers" at the local pub .... The Victoria Hotel and came 6th out of 8 teams ... not bad ! We're hooking up with another team this week to see if we can win a prize.
We've been to the pictures to see Bran Nue Dae a new Australian Film with Geoffrey Rush .... very funny indeed ! It's an aborigional musical ..... say no more !
I've found out that the council want me to stay on for another week, great another weeks pay ! Ben's still at the AV Company, he's working Australia Day unfortunately.
Ben booked a hire car for us for this weekend, we're going daan sarf with the tent ... can't wait ! It's for my birthday weekend, we need to get away for a bit, get back to what we came over here to do and travel. We've got Bens Post Christmas Party the weekend after too, a trip to Rotty, hope the weather cools down otherwise we'll melt on the boat going over !

It was a sad day for Ben on saturday as we took the Beetle back. He drove her for the last time, back to the Calvins. We decided to give it back incase something happened to it (more me panicking!). Mike didn't want it back but we left it, we've had a great time in her already ... too kind ! He says we've to go over for a barbie one weekend so we've got that to look forward too.

Nothing much been happening really, just boring stuff ... just wanted to let you's know we're alright.

We've got big celebrations here on Tuesday 26th January, big fireworks to celebrate Australia Day. I'm off down there to watch them, seens as I missed them on New Years Eve. Ben's working down there, manning a massive searchlight so he'll get to see them. So exciting !

Well better go cos there's nowt more interesting happened to us, hopefully get back from camping and have loads to tell you and hopefully some photos of Roos for Kacey and Tuqiri ! I'll try my best petals !!

Take care everyone, sending loads of love
Ben and Claire xxx
