We are currently on the train heading to Cardiff to visit Christine’s brother Brendan and his lovely girlfriend Sarah. It’s been a long couple of weeks since our last trip as Christine has been unwell and as she is such a sharing caring person, she has now made me sick.
Hopefully Bren and Sarah don’t keep us up all night and let us sleep in a bit tomorrow.
I have picked up a short term accounting role which is great as the pay is much better than admin or teaching assistant although it was nice to have a change. This means that I’m no longer the stay at home hubby and Christine is back to cooking most nights, much to her disgust. The job is really good, the hours are 9am to 5:30pm or whatever time I like. It’s paid by the hour so they really don’t mind when I show up as long as I make an appearance. The dress code is also less formal than a normal accountancy job so I don’t have to wear a suit and tie.
Last weekend was a lot of fun although Christine was not happy with me. We had a quiet Friday night, then we got up early for the TNT travel show. This was really good as we booked a 15 day trip to Egypt in October and a weeklong Sail Croatia trip over the summer school holidays in August. We left the travel show around noon, basically so we wouldn’t spend any more money and it was so busy it was getting hard to move. Christine headed home to have a nap before a couple of the girls had their big birthday bash.
I headed to the good old Walkabout to watch St Kilda win the pre-season cup. This didn’t happen, but I did make a few new friends including some boys from Mildura and their Canadian friend who needed all the rules explained to her. After the game, as a gracious loser, I headed out with them to get dim sims, because that’s what you do in Australia and drink £1 shots. I arrived home around 7pm or so, very happy and without the shopping Christine had asked me to get for dinner, opps. Christine had a good night at the girls Glam Rock Birthday bash.
We met up with my cousin Megan at the tourist Mecca The Hard Rock Café on Thursday night. She had a great day doing the Bath and Stone Henge tour. Megan is in London for a few days before heading off on a whirlwind Contiki tour of Europe. We will try to catch up with her again after her tour when she gets back to London before heading home to Melbourne. It will be interesting to see what she thought of the place we’ve been to and where she suggests we go next.
