Kadie decided to even up the numbers a bit today and join us on our jaunt. First stop was muffin break. They were doing some sort of promotion that involved winning stuff from scratch cards. Kadie got really carried away and ended up with loads! After boosting our energy with caffine and cake we were off to Kings park. It was our first glimpse of the city. The buildings are a real mixture of old an new. Modern, glass sky scrapers all jostling for space among the ...

Yesterday the cooling system in the house broke. Billy knew it was on the blink but the boys wouldn't have it. Subsequently it broke altogether and we were all roasting. Nick and Rich got on the roof to try and fix it. Nick was an integral part of the operation and held the ladder. Turns out, no amount of mending was going to work and a new piece was needed. That's how I ended up in Dome, the coffee shop, all alone for hours. We had breakfast together and the bo...

We came back and collected the boys and headed off to the chocolate factory. Coffees for us, hot chocolate for B...

Fast forward half hour from the airport and we arrived at Chez Fortt. Its a bit Ramsey Street. Kadie, Heymish and the dog, Levi, we there to we greet us. Billy and Rich have a lovely home. Their house is beautiful and really big. It would be fair to say I was in a complete daze. I felt completely detached from myself, like I was watching through a window. No time to dwell on that fact though. It was all systems go and after a quick tour me and Bill were off to t...
