Burgled, Bogans and Beer !

Hey there,

what a weird couple of days we've had. Finished work on Friday, came home as normal. Opened the living room door to find a card opened on the floor, blaming diggy I then walked into the kitchen. The medicine was all out of the cupboards and on the kitchen floor, along with all the drawers in the cupboards in the dining area. Emma has been tidying all her stuff out ready for her move home and I just thought she'd maybe finished work early and started tidying. Although thinking at the same time if she had of gone out she would have took Digs and she deffo wouldn't have left Digs alone with the medicine on the floor ??!!

I then walked through to the bedroom and noticed all the bedroom doors were open. Weird, cos everyone shuts them before going out ?? I then went into our bedroom and the double wardrobe had been emptied onto the bed, stuff everywhere. Still not quite understanding what was going on, I then went into Emmas bedroom and everything was everywhere. All the drawers and cupboards emptied. I then rang Emma, followed by Ben and then the police. Everyone got home about 20 mins later and we just couldn't understand what had gone on. They had left everything of value and only took painkillers, cash from Emma's room, our New Zealand Dollars we had, unopened cards we had, a tin of $1 and $2 coins ....... our footie tickets !!. We were very lucky cos it could have been so much worse ! We were just gutted that some strangers or stranger had been through all our private stuff, been in our private space. They had gotten in through the dog door, poor digs must have been terrified ! The forensics rang and said they couldn't come out until the next morning and not to move or touch anything. We couldn't have left it the way it was and we just wanted to tidy up. We were gutted all night and couldn't understand what had happened.

The next morning Ben was working, so me and Emma waited for the forensics to come. They came but didn't get any prints cos we'd tidied up. They said that it was probably kids and just to make sure all the doors and windows are locked with keys. He said they probably wouldn't be back cos they would have just taken everything first time. As soon as the copper had gone, me and Emma just cleaned the place from top to bottom. We wanted to make it our own again. When we finished we instantly felt better ! Ben got home about 3ish and we were ready to go and have a few drinks and just to forget about it for a while.

We caught the bus into town and made our way to the beer festival. Ha ha, Ben got asked for ID on his way into the arena !! So funny !

We went and got some food first, thinking lining our stomach would be a wise option ! It was huge and there was tons of people there, it had started at 12 so there was a few wobbly people already ! We tried Coopers Pale Ale, Little Creatures Bright Ale, Ninja Ginger Beer, Doom Bar Ale, Strawberry Daiquris and even raised our glasses to Owen with a Green King IPA !

Emma treated me to a ride on the chair swing that was there, so much fun ! Ben didn't want a go, thinking he would probably spew.

We sat and watched the live music for a while. We watched One Island East, a samba type band .... very chilled ! We then caught the start of Seth Sentry, he reminded me of Mike Skinner. We managed to persuade Ben to have a go on the Chairs. He loved it, didn't spew which was disapointing ! Ha ha, only joking. Saw the funniest thing though .... while Ben and Emma were on the chairs a guy fell off ! Check out the video, it's at 30sec !! Ha ha, awesome !

We caught a taxi to our local Pizzeria and got a carry out of booze, the perfect end to a great day ! Just what we all needed ! Ben's now at work, he had to go in for a couple of hours. So to is Emma, it's just been me and Digs this morning. We went for a la'al walk to the park and I checked through all our stuff just to make sure the tickets have deffo gone...... they have ! So we're going to get a dvd out and chill out this arvo instead of going to the footie ! Never mind, we'll all ok and thats the main thing ay ???!!
