Easter Holiday ... Hmm?

Monday is upon us and it is back to work tomorrow. How can it go so quick? What have we done?

Friday was a lazy day and I spent until lunch time in my PJ's.

Saturday, did a bit of shopping, Gloria Jeans and beading.

Sunday - Oh yeah, went 4x4 up Mount irvine. It was so scarey I thought I was going to faint. Whole body went like jelly. The track was at least 2 hours mong and all on the edge of a mountain. Must admit nice views though. You can see some of the photos on my Flickr site .

Monday - well we absolutely butchered the flower bed next to the pool and chopped a tree down. Just looks like a heap of mess now. The back of Barrys Ute is full of bushes, grass and tree. Whoops. I hope it looks better in a few months time. We are absolutely shattered now and aching all over. Whilst we were packing away we found this little critter on the gardening gloves. At first I thought it was a bit of twig but then it moved. Left it for Barry to sort out. Haven't got a clue what it is!!!

Dad has arrived

Well my Dad arrived on 2nd of Feb 08 and, inbetween work and commitments, we have been trying to show him around. Managed to spend 4 days in the Hunter Valley staying in a lovely log cabin and do the winery tours.

Also managed to look around Cessnock and the Hunter Valley Gardens. Barry took him up to Cabbage Tree to look at the views but it was too wet for some areas. And yes we had some more rain!! Sydney was the last port of call, obviously the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, a boat ride from Curcular Quay to Darling Harbour and the Chinese Gardens. Just managed to fit in a massage and coffee before it started to rain again!!

Another week before he sets back to the UK. Unfortunately we all have to get back to work on his last week. Let's hope the weather gets better and he can relax by the pool.
