Sam has got a job at Bunnings which is the Aussie version of B and Q. They are opening a HUGE new store just down the road from us in July. 2000 people applied and 120 people got jobs, so he did well. He has been on several training days and loves the fact that he gets paid to sit there and listen!
Chris has been increasing his cycling and a couple of weekends ago did a 110km hilly ride in just over 4 hours. I have had to rest from running the last week because I have tendonitis of the hamstring. Ran 10k yesterday and the pain seemed to have gone due to the strengthening exercises I have been doing.
Had to take Jack to the physio yesterday because he turned his ankle playing football about 5 weeks ago and it keeps re-occurring. He has broken one of the ligaments in the side of his foot, so will have to wear an ankle brace for at least the next 6 months when playing. It is holiday time again here and Jack has 3 weeks off SEDA. Sam and Will don't finish school till the end of next week and only have 2 weeks off.
We had an earthquake here on Tuesday evening!!! I was sitting on my bed talking on the phone to someone in the UK when the window sill and wall started moving from side to side! It was a strange sensation and I was wondering if I had had too much to drink! It only lasted 30 seconds but measured 5.5 on the Richter scale and was the worst one in Victoria for 109 years! Everyone was posting comments on Facebook!
The Welsh rugby team have been doing an Aussie tour over the last month and we went to watch them play the Wallabies at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday, hence Will in his Welsh rugby shirt. It was a great game but unfortunately, Wales lost by 1 point in the last few seconds.
We put an application in for a nice house in Parkdale this week but unfortunately, so did 2 other families, and we found out yesterday that we didn't get it :( No nice 4 beds in Mordi at the moment but we still have a couple of months.
Think that's about it for now...!
