Apologies folks for the lack of blogging over the past couple of weeks - truth be told, Bob and I have led a fairly quiet life in the country so not much to report!
Bob was excited about going into the final round of the club championship on Saturday but it appeared he got himself overexcited, took a few risks that didn't pay off unfortunately and finished an admirable 2nd. Not bad at all from 150 competitors! On a plus note however, he has a new job (managed to get through the interview without putting off his new employers with that horrendous MO) and starts with Baw Baw Shire council on 3rd Jan with a company car thrown in for good measure - hurrah!
Tennis has been somewhat variable over the past two weeks - played really well one week, then it was rained off the next and then Saturday there, I had an absolute 'mare, probably something to do with the coach telling me my ball toss on my serve is about 7ft too high and me trying to change it and failing miserably. Double faults galore! Hmph. I shall persevere.
Work is busy busy busy! We had our christmas party (early I know) at Chambers on Saturday night, a chance to get glammed up in the country and a posh meal and champers all paid for by the boss. Awesome and much fun. No scandal to report, everyone was fairly well behaved and we were all tucked up in bed by midnight. It felt really weird to have a christmas party in the beer garden with the sun shining - disappointed about the lack of crackers and party hats! Not a santa in sight. Scottish crimbo parties win hands down : )
The weather has been picking up here - we had a glorious day yesterday, sat out in the garden and BBQ'd, sunny and 28C, think it's meant to be 32C today which is rubbish as it's Monday morning and we'll be at work all day! At least it'll be pleasant to eat lunch in the park. Sunscreen is becoming a permanent fixture on my peely wally skin these days!
Got a physio hip course coming up this Sunday in Melbourne, dinner with some friends on Saturday night and tennis on Saturday. We are currently planning a scottish street party on 5th Dec for St Andrews day - we have found a british butcher who sells square sausage and haggis but still need to hunt down some Irn Bru. Think we'll need to have vegemite and pavlova on standby for the ozzies who refuse the haggis!
Think that's all from our end - will update again next Sunday, love to all xx
