It's a lovely day even with the little bit of rain every now and again. It's still nice outside. I was sent for a walk today to deliver something for work to the RTA. No 'take a number' here, you just go up and speak to someone, very old fashioned! I discovered I could walk along the lagoon on the way back, as you could get on the path behind the RTA. They really encourage walking/riding here as there seem to be lots of spots. When you do drive, there are one way lanes so you can avoid going onto the main road to go home, very organised. Back to Sydney, leaving about lunchtime tomorrow.

Tuesday 10th June, 2008
You know what? It doesn't matter what age your children are, you can still miss them when they're not around. Last night sitting at the dinner table, knowing they were safely home, I felt relieved but also a bit sad as the house was noisy and messy and we had a lot of fun. Not to worry, we'll be home Thursday night and leave again early Monday morning.
I was SO excited to learn that Trish and Tony (sister & hub) are coming to Wagga next Tuesday and staying until Sunday, it will be so great. I am working extra hours this week to get as much done as I can, since I seem to know what I'm doing now. That way we can go on adventures. I'm thinking if I work 7-10am each day, that should just about get the important stuff done, filing will just have to wait!!
Two more sleeps until I'm in my own bed. There's no place like home, oh, and I get to go to the dentist and get 'that' tooth dealt with.

Sunday 8th June 2008
Morning seemed to come around rather fast, after breakfast we all went to church. It was another different piano player this week along with 4 guys playing guitar and a drummer this time as well. It was a bit like hillbilly church, but very enjoyable - yee har!! I managed to have a conversation with a local dentist at church and yes, they do have a waiting list. He said that in Griffith, there is a 6 month waiting list, wow.
After church we were trying to work out lunch, we have big decisions regarding mealtimes, don't we? So the decision was made to go to the local Commercial Club and had a lovely meal. After lunch Bruce suggested we play pool (didn't realise they had a pool room) and then realised it was a billiards room and we ended up playing a really really REALLY long game of billiards. We gave up and changed to playing pool. Michael jokingly sunk a ball with his hand and there was a man passing by who said casually "that's cheating". We all fell about laughing as it was so unexpected. He did come back and then mentioned that he was on the champion board and the most important part of the game was enjoying it, which we definitely did. We've come home and Michael and Tiffany were throwing a bag of lollies up the stairs but Michael didn't throw them high enough. The third throw, Tiffany put her hand up and caught them and the bag burst, it was so funny having the lollies raining all over the stairs. One of those 'hard to believe' moments. We had to sweep up the lolly dust. It's been another lovely day weather-wise and we've had 4 weeks of unseasonal weather so far, not much rain to even mention.
Tonight we'll have leftovers and probably sit around and maybe play some board games. A very stressful life we're having down here.
Michael, Andrew and Tiffany will be leaving here in the morning.
Saturday 7th June 2008 - NIGHT
We arrived safely back in Wagga and after debating what to have for dinner, Michael decided that he would BBQ as Bruce isn't interested in BBQing. So off we went to the local Woolies and bought some meat slices and sausages. May as well get him to cook enough for 2 nights, eh? Anyway, he did us proud, all credit to Andrew B. as that's where Michael said he learnt from.
We sat on the lounge and watched While You Were Sleeping and then I went to bed. The others sat up and watched Miss Congeniality, again.

Next stop Tumut.
Why Tumut?? Trish and Tony (my sister and hub) are always talking about Tumut as they go there so often, so since we're nearly there we thought we would go looking. It was just so calm and peaceful there today. Today was warm and the sky was clear, even though I felt cold at the Tumbarumba Museum, you eventually warm up as you move about.
