Pink gig, Margaret River and more !!

It 's both girls birthdays next week so Talluah had her party this week (as Mum and Mike were away touring the south). Luckily for Paul's wallet she wanted a sleepover so had 3 friends, loads of pizza, crisps, lollies (sweets), garlic bread and a birthday cake ! They all behaved pretty well, I have no idea how much (or little!) sleep they actually got as their bedroom is at the opposite end of the house to ours so we slept soundly !! I bought the pizza at the supermarket and found out afterwards that I could have got takeaway pizza cheaper on a Tuesday - how wierd is that !!

For part of their present, we all went to see Pink in concert and they were able to take a friend each. It was an awesome concert and Pink was unbelievably good. I have seen many, many concerts in my time and hers was the best - it even beat Robbie cos she had to work at it whereas he lets his popularity reduce his effort (when was the last time he sang most of Angels ?!) Fit girl too - great acrobatics in the air. We all enjoyed it, even Paul who originally didn't want to go. So, in the 8 months we've been here we've been to 3 concerts. Christina Aguilera is here in July too so I'm hoping to buy tickets for that gig too.

This weekend Mum and Mike were back so Paul and I left them with the pup and the girls and we headed down to Margaret River and the surrounding area. It was beautiful, we loved the area and I 'm glad we didn't go there on our reckie as I think I would have been hard pushed to get Paul to look anywhere else and, at 3.5 hours from Perth, is just a little too far for me. Good surf though, lovely shops (different ones!) and the retreat we stayed at was spot on, I could not fault it at all (www.forestrise.com.au). Back to earth with a bump now though. School is back next week (where did that school holiday go ?!) Mutley has a wonderful habit of stopping for a sit down on his walks and he's soooooo nosy so I think it will be a while before he gets to walk the girls to school !! On Tuesday it's Nakita's birthday and, unfortunately, a trip back to the dentist for me. I cracked a filling last week and, unfortunately it can't be mended, nor can I have a crown as there is decay inbetween the root canel so I have to have the extraction done Tuesday and then save the $3,000 to $10,000 for a bridge or an implant as soon as possible. Not something I'm looking forward to, where's the NHS when you need them ?!

On Wednesday it's a bank holiday (Anzac Day) so it's Nakita's cinema party - eight 9 year olds off to see Meet The Robinsons, what fun ! Thursday I'm back in the canteen and Friday I need to recover from the week and prepare myself for the weekend. Mum and Mike go back on Sunday so there's bound to be tears, I may send Paul up to the airport with them, save the upset. I think Mutley will miss them big time though !!
