It's Australia Day!
Gone, for now...
My sis and the boys headed home on the bus this morning. They will travel to Sydney where they'll catch a plane to Perth. The plan is that they try and sell their house over the next month or so and move back home to Dubbo or Narromine.
Personally, I think it'll take a lot longer than they're anticipating to get themselves organised (if it happens at all!).
Juanita and boys stopped by here this morning to say goodbye, which was great cos it saved me getting showered and dressed to go see them off at 9am! Poor little Mitch suddenly hurled up his breakfast on the floor when he was here. He showed no signs of sickness before that, so I hope their trip to Sydney isn't marred by regular vomiting (urk!).
BBQ in the park...
We met with the Foggons (minus Lindsay) in the park on the other side of the river at 4pm. It was an excellent afternoon just eating food, kicking a soft pseudo-soccerball, and then followed by a very long walk along the Tracker Riley walking track all the way to Hungry Jacks to get some icecream!
Much to my amazement, Clayton walked around 50% of the way there and back! He also ate a lot of icecream. He's such a tough little nipper.
Salvos' Ebay haul...
Matt has been auctioning some Warhammer models/figures that were donated to the Family Store. Much to all our amazement, they're selling at prices you wouldn't believe! The first lot to close went for an attractive $167.50, and another case is already at $222.50 with 4 days remaining :O What the...?
These items would have otherwise been bundled together and sold for around $4. The good news is that it will be used to help pay the learner band's tuition fees at the local Conservatorium. Woohoo!
Meanwhile, the commemorative plate still has no bids, but it's being "watched" by 7 (hopefully-keen) bidders!
