Hell no, they'll get some naff travel-agent tours like they did last time (after they'd visited us in Singapore) and I want them to do something interesting. Especially if we're doing it with them.

I've just booked two nights in Mollymook so looking for things to do around there. Who's down there? Iam?

Not today, I'm playing with the modern-day equivalent of a BetaMax player.

Whilst listening to The Fratellis to be precise.

I'm in a sort of semi-serious mood ... I'm somewhere between lying on a bean-bag sucking on a bong and preparing a defence for a wrongly accused child molester.

I'd probably get moaned at if I did as I don't have the right attitude for a mod. Maybe I could just add 'Oh no we're not'.

I was suckered into it, Paul, when we moved to NSW. UK - they walked to school. QLD - they got the bus to school. Came here, we live at the bottom of a steep hill, youngest asked for a new bike so he could cycle.. yes, we said, in the meantime I took him to school... when we got round to talking again about a new bike and youngest was informed that no, I wouldn't then be taking him (and the bike) to school in the car he lost interest.

He's my baby, I'm allowed to be soft with him :D (Especially as it was the first time he'd had to go to a new school without the back up of his two brothers)

All the others (including Himself) get driven to the station even though there's a perfectly good bus stop at the top of the hill.

Hmm.. ok.. on some things I'm a complete pushover.

On the other hand, it does mean I have absolutely no time to get a job or do housework.

Cha-Ching Cha-Ching ...

I might put it on my MP3 player and make the most of the Aussie Experience (tm) ... Or I may continue to do geeky things with my latest technological acquisition ...

You need one of these â„¢

It makes you look almost professional :)

Don't worry, I just assume your default state is "sod all use" :p

I've booked dinner at the Rick Stein restaurant; it's at Mollymook. Not staying there though as they'll only do 3+ nights :(

Ah, I saw that on the map (I somehow recognised the name Rick Stein as a semi-famous cook?) ... They do mushy peas apparently ... Hope the food is better than the reviews ;)
