Jimmy Jimmy Jeep Jeep

Bob appears to have lost the plot. Or maybe he's just happy? Either way, he is dancing about the living room, shaking his bum whilst singing along to Vanilla Ice and has his newly won baseball cap sideways on his head juggling his newly won golf balls. Sometimes I worry. Truth be told, he played an absolutely amazing game of golf today in the Warragul Plate. Must have been the free beer and BBQ pre-match that helped him on his way. Not only did he win the individual round with a score of 72, he also won the team event too and came away with some prizes. He had to give a speech in which he mentioned he was struggling with the heat (17C) and the lack of wind......think he got some laughs, not to mention some beers bought for him. A rather merry Bob wandered home about 7pm demanding (guess what) some Thai for tea! Love it.

Bob was far more successful in his sporting achievements than I was today. The Dusties played Cora Lynn in the knockout stages, playing to reach the semi finals next week. After an awesome 1st quarter for the Dusties, we were leading 20-12 at quarter time, only for Cora Lynn to inch back into the game, making it 37-37 going into the last quarter. Despite playing extremely well (well done girls) we were pipped at the post with the final score 50-47 to Cora Lynn. Knocked out! End of the season for us. Boo. What sport shall I try next? Anyone for tennis? Or perhaps lawn bowls?

The big news though is that we now have Jimmy the Jeep! He is all ours and running rather smoothly after his service the other day. This is the first car I've owned that (a) hasn't been a rust bucket, (b) hasn't been stolen and rally driven round a field and (c) hasn't been set on fire by my welder of a brother-in-law and towed away. Fingers crossed the jeep shall survive! Long live Jimmy

Our weekend has been fairly tame, as I had a mammoth netball training session on Friday night and then was working on Saturday, and Bob was playing golf Saturday and Sunday. Nowt much else to report, peeps! Other than we were watching the Edinburgh Tattoo on the telly tonight and it made me feel a little bit (just a little bit) homesick - Bob was happily humming along to Highland Cathedral, couldn't help but hum along too. I had to explain to my netball girls what a ceilidh was the other day - they'd never heard of it! That's it, we'll need to organise one before we leave.

Will write more next Sunday as we are off to Sydney for Matthew and Verity's wedding part II! Will tell you all about it on our return.

Hope you are all behaving yourselves back in the UK/Europe

Lots of love Mo and Bob xx
