It’s been really nice to have a day off, just chilling out. Even though we’ve just had a long break from work, it soon catches up with you again. |-)
Sara is lucky enough to get a “free” week off work over the Christmas period but I need to book annual leave for anything except the main days. This year, unfortunately, I can’t take any extra time off at all because there’s a lot going on at work. So I’m back in work — and off to Sydney again — tomorrow morning. 😐
Today we took a drive out to Lilydale and the Yarra Valley wine region, stopping off to potter around Healesville. There was very little open, with it being Boxing Day, but it looks a really nice place. We’ll definitely go back and visit the wineries and the animal sanctuary in the new year. 3:-o :@) ~:> :(|)
On the way home we stopped off at Bunnings to pick up some “Baygon” insecticide. It’s been three months since I last sprayed around the outside of the house and we’re now starting to see the odd spider indoors, which is freaking Sara out a bit. So we’ve just bought a drum of the strongest type and I’ve been all around the perimeter, making sure that all the door frames, windows and eaves are covered. I’ve also bought an indoor version, just to make sure that all the nooks and crannies are spider free. :-ss
This evening we’ll just have a quiet meal in — Sara has become quite an accomplished cook since we’ve been out here, it must be all the fresh ingredients — with a few glasses of wine and we’ll watch a bit of telly. I won’t stay up late to see United tonight because of my early flight tomorrow, so I’ll have to watch the game when I get back home on Thursday evening. (Speaking of United, did you see Scholesy’s goal on Saturday? It was nearly as good as the one he scored against Bradford a few years ago.) b-)
