Thursday 15th March - car service

I was up at 7.30am this morning to get the car down to Anna Bay motors for a service. The guy said it won't take long to get the car done so i decided to have a stroll down to the beach. On the way down, a little jack russel cross cattle dog looking thing started following me. I was honoured to have made a new friend but i didn't appreciate that every time a car came along, the dog would run out in front of the car. The driver would then look at me as if to say, "control your dog, woman!"...the dog followed me down to the beach and back. He (and i knew it was a he because he had bits and pieces) had a little neckerchief on but no tag to say where he as from so i couldn't return him. Again, he did the trotting out in front of cars trick...i asked a young lady if she knew this dog...she didn't recognise him. damn. i text gaz to ask if we could have a dog...he said no :( he's lucky because when i went into the cafe, i came out and the dog had gone...2 hours later the car was ready. Apparently the left and right brake light weren't working...oops because we have driven the car an awful lot lately! And the tyres need replacing but we will do that closer to the time of selling the thing. I drove the long way home in the direction i think the dog went..just to make sure he wasn't splat in the road. I couldn't find him so came home to gaz who hadn't long got out of bed and then said 'I've been waiting for you to come home, I'm going to have a shower now.'...i asked why he couldn't have had a shower in the 3 hours i had been out but he said he wanted to be 'around' incase i rung him with a problem. hmm....

We watched some Family Guy and i fell asleep until 1pm by which time our bellies were growling at one another and demanding a feast. We went to the cafe we had been to before in 'soldiers point' down the road from the holiday park. The service was very slow and the 2 waitresses seemed to be busy doing nothing. When the food came out, Gaz asked politely for some garlic aiole...only the waitress looked at him gone off and rudely called the other waitress over to deal with the request...very strange.

Gaz and i went down to our favourite beach in corlette near to where our new house is We had a little paddle in the water and sat outside watching people stroll by and a father and son fishing. Gaz said it reminded him of when ian would take him fishing. gaz would catch a fish and get ian to take it off the line...this is what was happening with this father and son in front of us. They said they had caught a number of flathead and whiting from a few metres from the shoreline. gaz is very excited to get fishing bless him.

We got back to the cabin and i popped to woolworths and gaz tried to sort things with telstra...hes ha a bit of a nightmare sorting the internet over. he even hung up on one girl who was completely useless....i don't see gaz loose his cool very often but he got frustrated with her. It was funny.

We had a nice stroll down to see the boats t the bottom of the hill from the holiday park. It was beautiful watching the sun setting over the ocean and the pelicans bobbing around.

We have just had a chinese takeaway - omg i have put on soooo much weight its disgusting...cant wait to get into our new house! oh and as for that....we have had to extend another night at the holiday park because they can't get through to the previous tenant to give them the all clear to get cleaners in. They have to get her to free it before they can get people in apparently because its going to come out of her bond...we should know more by tomorrow. will keep you all updated!
