We have just spent a week in a place called Gidgegannup which is the centre of the universe (Alan 2005). We went to stay with Alyson's family on their farm. We rode their horses, got taken out on their big fast motorbikes, had BBQ's for breakfast, got taken shopping several times (Alyson's great uncle Charlie even braved the shops with us and lived to regret it), shot guns in the garden and were totally spoilt for the whole week. We had such a good time and made ourselves part of the family, we ate them out of house and home. Susie, Alan and Charlie all cooked us superb meals - we think they should open a shop. We also spent an athletic evening at badminton club. Ashley was proud to take us 4 beautiful ladies on his arm, especially as we proved to be such badminton pro's!!!!! We also managed to educate Aaron and Lauren in the art of PIGGY. They became champions and beat us at our own game. Anyway we had an amazing week with the aussie Barkers, we miss them already, but are sure they are missing us more! Last night was Katies big 23, which we spent in style. Courtesy of Roge we lived in the lap of luxury at the Burswood Casino. It was the biggest poshest place in the world. We each had a huge double bed, we ordered room service, pampered ourselves and we loved every minute of it. We also took a little trip to the casino where Alyson doubled her money came out with $100, Ju proudly won $5, em blew $50 and the birthday girl lost a whopping $88. A fun time had by all. Thanks Roge. So we are off to Ayres Rock tomorrow, laters xx
