Go, Buns! and various other things




Alan has started playing gridiron, which is what they call American football. It is pretty exciting! The season just started and they've won their first three games- and that includes last year's season champs!















We went to the Perth Royal Show a couple weeks ago. This is basically a really expensive fair. It was fun and there were lots of cute animals but I don't think we'll go next year! This was a pretty fun thing- it is a wood chopping event. The men chop a niche out of the pole then put a board to stand on and keep going up until they get to the top and chop the log that's nailed to the very top. Pretty crazy!

What a shock!




So yesterday was an absolutely baeutiful day! It was warm and sunny and the air was still so you could really feel the warmth. So I went to an arobics class (It was my first in a while) and when I got home I thought " The pool looks great. I think I'll jump in." So I hung some clothes out so that I could get a little bit warmer and then I took the plunge. And yes- it was a shocker! I immediately had pins and needles. I got out as fast as I could! So I guess we have a few more weeks before it's really warm enough!
