Another 2 weeks have whizzed by. At the beginning of the month we were "Sunny Sitting" for 5 days. Natalie and family went away for Sascha's 7th Birthday and we looked after Sunny the dog! This is a perfect scenario because Will and Sam would like to have a dog but Chris and I don't, so being able to look after Sunny is the perfect solution (and didn't put them off!). Sunny doesn't mind who looks after him as long as he has love and attention... and food!
Yesterday, Chris went to Mt. Buller with Jason for the day to go skiing! They left at 4.30a.m and after a 3 hour drive, arrived at the slopes. Since Buller is not so high up as Hotham, the snow wasn't as good, nor were there so many runs but they had a great day and returned home, very weary, at 8.30p.m.
Chris's sister and family touched down in Sydney this morning! They are having a 3 week holiday, starting off visiting their cousin in Dubai. They are coming to stay with us on the 25th August, just 10 days away, so we are all excited. It's strange knowing they are in the same country as us now and needless to say, we have been texting all day! More to follow on their visit in a few weeks :)
Will had his last AFL match today since the season has finished, except for those going through to the Grand Final. This, unfortunately, was not the Chelsea Seagulls since they only won 1 match! However, the match today was probably the best one all season - it was so close and could've gone either way. In the 3rd Quarter, the Seagulls played the best ever, pulling back to a draw, but unfortunately, they lost in the final quarter. It was such an exciting game and a good one to end the season on!
Love reading the blog updates. Sunny looks gorgeous and hope he was well behaved! Could I possibly send Lola out for a spot of doggy sitting! She is very well behaved and would love Sam & Will to look after her and take her for lots of walks :-)
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing lots of photos of Sue's visit - how exciting. House will be a little cramped for a few days whilst they are there!
We are in the middle of summer here in Romsey - and its raining again today! Weather is really awful again this year. We are obviously still very brown from Turkey and all wishing we could go back tomorrow. Such a brilliant holiday for all of us!
Girls are enjoying their summer holiday and not looking forward to going back to school/college in September. Cant believe it will be Jessie's last year! We are due to visit lots of universities in new few weeks for Ems - top of list is Bournemouth - think she has heard the nightlife in Bournemouth is good and will be near the beach! Jess is looking forward to final year, and bossing people around as she is a prefect! Soon we will be planning her prom outfit!
Miss you all and sending lots of love, Lisa xxx
Hope Sue and Co arrived safely! I'm sure they'll be lots of late nights catching up! Hope you all have a great time - looking forward to hearing and seeing what you all get up to!
ReplyDeleteAll good here. Alex had a great birthday as usual and loved his ecard. Thanks so much for thinking of him.
