Holiday in Busselton

We have just got back from another holiday, this time to the South West to a town called Busselton.
We stayed in a chalet in a caravan park called Mandalay. We went there with my sister and her family and my mother.
Peanut also seemed to enjoy spending time with her cousins as well.
We also took her to an animal farm, where she got to see guinea pigs, chickens, rabbits, parrots, donkeys, horses, lamas, goats, sheep and cattle for the first time in her life. She also got to have her first ride on a Merry-go-round.

Still no real progress with selling the apartment, there seem to be a few nibbles but buyers still seem to be holding back. We just need the right offer and then I can get ready for our drive to Brisbane. We have also discussed trading in the commodore for a Toyota Landcruiser Prado or a Toyota Hilux dual cab. We both like the idea of travelling about a bit whilst in Qld, as it could only be for 2 years, but could be permanent as well.

I would also like to get this over so that we can stop having to get the apartment ready for viewing each Saturday when Ang is working Friday nights and only wants to rest on a Saturday night.

This weekend coming we have Peanuts' christening and then a few drinks afterwards, she will also have 4 god parents to contend with, we thought it only fair a pair from each side, so we selected my sister and her husband and Angie's brother and his wife.

There is also the matter of only just over 2 weeks until my 40th birthday.

The best thing on the horizon is 9 more days until the footy starts and my starts the season as the reigning premiers, but also the youngest team in the competition.

GO HAWKS.

Trip to Sunshine Coast

It has been a couple of weeks, but I was on holiday last week. We went to visit the in-laws, who live on the Sunshine Coast, which if you don't know where it is, it is about 100kms north of Brisbane in Queensland.

Was great to get away from Perth and work for a week. The trip was also to do a bit of exploring the northern subburbs on one of the days to see where we might look for a house when we get to Brisbane.

We caughtwith Ang's 2 brothers and their families, which leads us to also seeing our new nephew, Daniel (pictured with me right), who is only 4 weeks old. It just shows us how much little Peanut has grown over the last 7 months. She even has 2 teeth now as well, and she really enjoyed exploring a bigger house to play in and seeing all her cousins.

On the Wednesday we went down to Brisbane, to explore the suburbs, and from what we have seen from driving around we are interested in Strathpine and Petrie, with interest also n the suburbs in between, which were bray Park and Lawnton. There seems to be some nice houses there as well.

We also went for a walk through a small bit of forest and then went to Gardiners Falls for a swim, the whole family went. The rest of the time was mainly hanging around the in-laws place with the occasional walk outside, so I could feed the mosquitoes. Every tie I go to their house I get attacked by them and everyone living around them like to keep dams with stagnant water so they can keep breeding, I still don't understand why they all want have a dam.

My next task to get sorted is my Aussie rules dream team, I still haven't started getting it sorted, but I have a couple weeks before the start of the season. I hope I can get a team as good as I had last season.

Lastly, the apartment has been up for sale for less than 2 weeks, there has been a fair bit of interest but no offers yet, but hopefully that will change soon.
