Thursday 25th August - Catch up day on blog!

Yesterday we got up early to get to Harvey Norman electrical store so Gaz could pick up a computer monitor before we had to give the car back. Unfortunately they didnt have the specific one he wanted so he has to go back next week to pick it up when its ordered in. We drove the car to the Hertz garage and took a ride to our place in a taxi that smelt like a cattle market.

Gaz spent the rest of the day waiting in on telstra to come and fix up the lines for the internet...annoyingly they said they would come between 1-5pm. They turned up at 4.40! I had ventured over to Target to pick up some smart work trousers and a top. I dont know where people here get their clothes from as there doesnt seem to be many clothe shops around...or maybe ive been looking in the wrong place.

In the evening we went for a romantic walk along the beach and had a drink in one of the pubs along the esplanade. We got home just as the downpour of rain started! Gaz cooked a nice healthy meal...again the naughty jar remains empty!

This morning we strolled over to the 24hour gym to check it out. Its got a decent number of machines and all the free weights etc so we are keen to sign up, we are just going to wait to get a car first. Gaz has been on the computer all afternoon and i have been indulged in my Jackie Collins book 'Drop Dead Beautiful'. Its so good i cant put it down! This evening we had another walk on the beach...not so romantic as i stood in dog poo :( Feeling hungry, we headed back for a tasty feast of fajitas....still no money in the naughty jar! Gaz and i appear to have lost weight from all the healthy eating! yay! Now to snuggle up and watch tv on the sofa...
