Today is Friday 19th December.
Well life has been much the same as always, nothing really changes there then.. Have been busy working hard, getting hotter by the day. Temperatures are now in the low to mid 30's on a daily basis, feels like 130 in the car. Making good use of the Aircon there.
Well what have we been up to apart from work - well......
On the 5th was Tracy's birthday, she had a few cards and a couple of prezzies.. so that saw Tracy's first birthday in OZ. No different to normal just have to good weather to go with it.
On the 7th we decided to go somewhere for a change of scenery. We said in the blog before that we went to Moonta and found nothing there... Well think we must have had our eyes closed or went through on the wrong road. Well we went and found a lovely little town. Had a walk down the street. Then we had to stop - there was a roar coming from a side road - and then suddenly about 100 moterbikes drove out. We later found out that they were on a gift run to needy children... how nice.
We then drove down to Moonta bay - what a lovely spot, so took some photos.
On Friday the 12th, my mobile phone rang at 4-30 AM, it was my boss saying that there was no work today... This was due to the rather large storm that was above. We had rain all day Friday and most of Saturday. There was that much that it broke all records. We had about 100mm or 4 inches. Good for keeping the dust down, but makes work difficult. On monday we got our concrete truck stuck so went home at 8-00am.
On Saturday 13th we went to Port Pirie to get our Christmas tree. On the way Tracy started screaming, making me wonder what the hell was wrong - well she had seen 3 kangaroos bouncing along the side of the car. Luckily they bounced off into the bush and never damaged the car. A nice sight though. Anyway got to Port Pirie and found they have a BIG W - basically a cash and carry, so we got a tree (artificial) and some decorations. Stopped at Subway for lunch and drove back. Bearing in mind that Port Pirie is about 2 1/2 hours away...
On the 14th we decorated the tree - here is the result.
Today the 19th we have had some work done on the house. We now have 2 large rainwater tanks. A carport and a big pile of gravel. We have struck a deal with the owner of the house, she is supplying the gravel etc and I will be landscaping the garden, in exchange for a few weeks free rent... Helps us all out.
Well think thats about it for the moment - and my beer is getting warm, so will finish here and will update very, very soon.
Hope everybody is ok and please keep intouch.
