Back at Poundy's

AUSTRALIA | Wednesday, 10 January 2007 | Views [1011]

Arriving back at pounds was nice, having a bed again and all the home comforts. we drove back from our camp site at the parklea via the blue mountains which are seen in pictures, there were pretty amazing with a blue haze above the trees, this is the eucalyptus oil from trees. On drive back we stop off for a bbq at a stop off point on the side on the road called Sutton park!!! We arrive at pounds to meet the children ImO and bea, they are both very cute, swimming around in next doors pool. Imogen has a mega imagination and does not stop talking which is hilarious. We have an evening bbq J with nick and joe and catch up on gossip.

Following day we spend with joe and the girls as nick is back to work, we visit a beach called balmoroll, it has a shark net in a section of the beach so me and ana swim for first time in the sea, yeah!!! We go for a coffee and head home for dinner!

Next day is spent relaxing at the local pool and looking round the local shopping centre which has loads of factory outlet shops for me to spend some money , which I haven’t got on a xmas present for myself, which I don’t need ~J

On Sunday ana and nick head off to play cricket against the barmy army, true to form they are v late to arrive as v hungover, the world team ~( anas team) look a little less confident in there play and field positioning and discuss the amount of good players they have actually got on the opposite team, jimmy saval is up first and is quite brave as wears no gloves nor helmet! Unfortunately rain calls the game off and we will never know if ana would beat the barmy army :0 )

Ana and i take the van back in Sydney and say goodbye to our little home, we meet nick for lunch in a small Chinese restaurant in china town and have some great food. We go visit the opera house again where we spent New Year which seems a lot quieter and different from that evening.

Following day we visit drammoyne pool again to soak up sun and try and do some exercise, after that we go for a coffee, do you see the running theme, nicks house was very relaxing and we hung around catching up on sleep and discovering parts on the city and local area.

Catch a ferry to darling harbour from down the road at nicks which was brill as it went pretty fast and could see the whole view of the pounds house from other side.we look around darling habour and watch a show with didgeridoo man talking about history of the instrument and culture, was great.

Joe bee and I go on a merry-go-round.

we arrange a night out where the girls can get dressed up and the boys can drink, I look in my bag and realise I have no clothes that are remotely suitable for a night out in the city so head off shopping with joe and the neighbour upstairs to look for bargins, fined a few things but nothing to get to excited about, so ana and I head for the city to check out bargins there, ana gives me a time limit of 3 hours to find something so the pressure is on, mum if you are reading this well its your fault the thought entered my head after hearing that you and dad had bought so much in Selfridges sales J I find a perfect bargin of a dress shoes and a bit of jewelery, dress is reduced from $199 to $34 which made is 15 pounds!!!!! Bargin!!!!

Ana and I are still relaxing booking and organising our trip to the gold coast we play on beach in front garden and go for coffees quite a lot J

The big going out night arrives and we go to a very posh place on the water called the loft (Holyoake’s) where only the posh can get in, when we get there, there is a queue the bouncer ushers us down the road and tells us a back way to get in, v sneaky I look back and realise the people waiting in queue obviously don’t shop where I do J
