Missing Gary

Hi folks

Gary's gone to the World Masters in Sydney to play basketball for 10 days so I'm single Mum home alone but that hasn't cramped my style.

I went for a walk along the beach Saturday morning to stretch my legs (and get rid of those wine inches). I was feeling a bit sad cos Gary had gone! All of a sudden this vision of loveliness happened buy. Two gorgeous hunks, bronzed & sweaty, jogging along the beach. I thought I'd imagined it!! I was enjoying the memory of the vision as I walked home when they passed me again - bliss. Being in Oz has certainly become even more interesting :)

As Gary left Sally & Graham reappeared. They knocked on the door early Saturday morning having just got off the plane. They decided that as it was such a lovely day they would take their yacht out on the water. It was also the Opening Day for the Yacht Club so there were loads of boats racing on the water - it was fantastic. I can now see the attraction of being in a sailing club. We spent the afternoon on the boat having tea & cake, oh and then cheese & wine. The day was finished off with a Gourmet Barbecue at the Yacht Club which we gatecrashed.

Gary was grumpy that we were on the boat while he was in cloudy wet Sydney on boys trip playing basketball - I ask you?!

The weekend was lovely & warm but it's now started raining again (funny drought this). The girls are grumpy because they're in out of school club while Gary's in Sydney. Ever get that Monday feeling? Anyway only a few more days then Mum will arrive from the UK so we'll just have to do more wine tasting.

We are definitely coming back to the UK. We go walkabout in November so will only be contactable by email/ phone. We'll catch up with you all when we get back. For those of you planning to get pressies for girls - please don't worry about it. If you really want to we'll get then when we get home (our luggage is already over the limit!)

Missing you lots - big hugs to all
