The job is a decent one (been there 3 weeks already) and I got off to a flyer by fixing a problem in 45 mins that a few of the guys had spent days on and gave up. Always a good one for the Friday arvo meeting that one ;)

We moved into our new apartment last weekend - we've got the marina on one side and Mindil beach on the other, which is nice. There's also a large pool in the grounds so we don't have to dodge the jellies and / or crocs in the sea.

What was the problem you fixed in 45 minutes? I'm guessing computer not plugged in? I'd have fixed it in 30 :p

Looks like my Sis might actually be coming up there after all now. Still not confirmed, but looking more likely than not.

As for not being eaten yet..... we're off out fishing on my mate's boat tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed

Sounds like sis and bro-in-law are being messed about a bit. Make sure you tell them to look us up if / when they get here anyway.

Might be going to a rodeo in Litchfield for NYE - if we can get accomodation anyway. The alternative is stay at home and watch the English Premier League on the telly like last year :rolleyes:

Tell her I am so glad she had a nice Christmas...actually, am glad for you both!!

Sounds like NYE should be fun, cant you just go buy a tent and crash in it for the night??
