Default Now i'm bored in Perth !

Been a dull year so far !

Only Been to Monkey Mia and surrounding areas !
Seen bush tornados (willi willis ) and heaps of wildlife on the trip , eagles hawks , roos etc etc

Been off roading in our new 4x4 !

Started work in the proper outback where you get to see lizards , dingos , more tornados ( no power in them so don't panic ), get cooked in the 47 deg heat ,view it all from this sky as you fly to work

Visited places like local parks and reserves, Moore river , swan valley ( for lunches in the vineyards ) , the endless beaches on our door step .

Been to a couple of the pop/rock gigs that have been on this year ( pixies were awsome )

Had nights out with the boys ( hick )

Been down south with the olds to see the green rolling hills , 60 meter trees , emus, more roos .

Plus other boring stuff just like it .

What other boring stuff have you done ????

It's been a pretty boring year for me too so far.

Visited Exmouth, swam with whale sharks, did some SCUBA diving, plenty of snorkelling on pristine coral.

Been out and about with the bush fire brigade to lots of interesting and exciting fires at places like Dwellingup, Yanchep, Goosberry Hill.

Saw the Jurassic 5 last ever gig, the Beastie Boys. Herbie Hancock last night - superb.

Spent every Sunday morning in the summer at the beach helping out with the kids at the surf lifesaving club.

Man, this place is so BORING!

Yes, it is pretty boring here isnt it?

Been to see Robbie Williams, Little Britain Live, ODI cricket Aus v NZ, had a weekend in Margaret River, been out for more meals and social get togethers in the last year than did in five years in the UK...

currently planning a wee spring break down south.

OK, not half as exciting as Perthforme but hey, I've enjoyed it

Dullsville.

So far this year, I've been learning to surf, catamaraning on the Swan River, many a happy Sunday lunch at Clancy's Fish Bar in Freo. Down to Yallingup, further down to Denmark, Fairbridge music festival. Of course, Robbie was here before Christmas, Test cricket, Rottnest at Christmas.

God, it's all just too much. The dog is getting bored of his morning beach walks.......what's a woman to do.

Perth city centre may not have a pulse after 5.30pm but that doesn't affect my life, really!! Try a few nights out in West Leederville or Mount Lawley and you'll be right!!

Okay, lets think. We have been camping at Jurien Bay, tried beach fishing for the first time and there was a seal under the jetty. Drove through the Pinnacles on the way back. Days out in Freo, Guilderton etc etc. Went on a boating trip with friends to Little Island - swam between boats, and got a ride in the donut off the back. Liked it so much we bought our own last week and took a cruise up the river to a winery. Have been out on the town in the CBD / Northbridge about 10 times. Eaten at some of the best restaurants in town - Duende, Swan Brewery. Have been to the soccer a couple of times, saw a one-day cricket international and was at the WACA when the Aussies regained the Ashes. Have seen Little Britain, Tripod and the Rogue Traders in concert. Bought bikes and get out on them now and then. Have been to more barbies than I can remember and even ended up crashing the night at one. Spent Australia Day at a barbie in the spa in my pants watching the fireworks. Made even more good friends (not just in the spa). Have taken a picnic to the drive-in movies. Became Treasurer and webmaster for the local residents' association. Loads of other stuff I can't be bothered to type.

I think you are right Steve. That is all pretty boring - I am sure we did muchy more than that last year but it is only just May.
