Firday 18th November - Its a Boy!

Ive been a bit slack writting the blog these past few days for which i apologise!

These past few days have been great. Chris and Ian have sadly left gaz and i now and flown down to Canberra for the weekend before driving up the east coast to spend their last few days in Aus with us at Hervey Bay. Gaz and I have really enjoyed having them both to stay and it was so sad this morning when i woke up for breakfast and the kitchen table was empty! Gaz has been a little quiet and says that he is missing them so much already. Hes enjoyed having a fishing buddy and its been really lovely to come home and have dinner cooked for me and the shopping all done!

Yesterday whilst i slaved away in work, the three of them went off on a boat that they hired out. Ian managed to catch a flat head, squid, whiting and a sole. Gaz caught a squid and a reef fish. The guy that rented the boat out to them was very impressed that they managed to catch things and admired their knowledge on boating that he has offered to take gaz out fishing with him on his boat...this is great coz it means i dont have to go! In the evening we treated Chris and Ian to an Italian down the esplanade as a thank you for being here.

This morning Gaz dropped them off at the air port and i received the exciting news that Gemma had just given birth to a baby boy (8lb 2oz). It is very strange seeing a picture of adam holding a baby! I am now auntie toria...and uncle gaz.

Work went smoothly today and my dental nurse was very impressed with how well i handled an extraction on a 9 year old kid (even though i HATE treating kids) and with the ease at which i got this lower wisdom tooth out on some woman. I did have some idiot from yesturday back in moaning about his denture rubbing where i took some teeth out...he asked my dental assistant if she was training me?! and she said 'no vicky is my boss' and he said...so shes training you? and i turned to him and said 'WE HAVE NO TRAINEES HERE, WE ARE ALL HIGHLY QUALIFIED;....and he shut right up!

Oh and i handed my CV in to Aura dental clinic 2 days ago...today they rang me to ask if they could meet me next friday to chat about how long im in Aus for etc. and to let me know the maternity leave position had been filled but they are opening up a 4th surgery. Finger crossed for next friday! This private job is just around the corner from where we live at the moment and would be so ideal!

Gaz and i have just been out for dinner at the irish pub and we are going to settle down for the night and watch some tv. missing chris and ian lots already!
