We are off!

[joandsarah]

I'll have to look that up, I thought they only came futher north. Not that I will be swimming in Sydney habour. Although today was hot enough to make even me want to swim. 38 C The aquarium was nice, but too hot for me. they say tomorrow will be cooler. It's the 80th party tomorrow.

[Tina ☺]

So, who's turning 80? That is one big milestone birthday.

[jillyson]

DH's great uncle, I think....

[joandsarah]

Yes, dh's Great Uncle. There is suppose to be about 40 people coming and they have caterers for the lunch. Not really my scene with all these inlaws and their friends I don't know. It will be ok I guess. It's been raining so at least it's cooled down.

[Tina ☺]

Wow, that's a fairly big party. I'm sure you'll be fine, Jo. You might even have a bit of fun!

[joandsarah]

All done now. It was a bit of a crush, but ok. A bit hot though. My poor MIl sat on a chair that broke, luckily she wasn't hurt. Had a very nice lunch and some yummy cake.

[amylu1988]

Yay for yummy cake, your poor MIL being stuck with a breaking chair though, good job she wasn't hurt. And that's also a lot of people, but then by 80 I guess you'd have a lot of family to invite to a party.

[joandsarah]

Well we are packing up and going to a huge shopping center with a kids play centre then over to the caravan park today.

[Tina ☺]

That sounds like fun! Wow, how'd I miss the yummy cake part? I'm glad things went ok. Yummy cake is always a plus!

[joandsarah]

Well we have made the caravan park. I can't figure out how to connect this to the power though. Just as well the battery lasts an hour. this mobile wireless is good though, we can even get coverage in the 'van'. Need to get some mozzie repelant, we forgot about the mozzies! National park + rain = lots of mozzies!
They are doing wood fire cooked pizza, and dh just came in with them.

;D You, of all people should know better about the Mossies! (now it is more important to deter them with what they carry!) You should have dosed yourself up with Vitamin B12! that would have kept them away! Your dinner sounds yummier than my meat pie!
~Did you have a good Valentine day?

[jillyson]

Cake and woodfire pizza! I want some!! Lol! Is a caravan park like a campground, and are mozzies like mosquitoes?

[amylu1988]

Mmm, campfire pizza, lovely. ;D I went to a campsite in Scotland in the rain and they had the same problem with the mozzies, I got 82 bites!

[joandsarah]

You, of all people should know better about the Mossies!

Lol, I would have done if we had driven, but we couldn't take anything like repelent with us. We bought some groceries last night..including some Aerogard. Luckily we can give it back to dh's rellies before we fly back. I don't exactly want to make room for that in my handbag and have to declare it. (Airosol can!)

Is a caravan park like a campground, and are mozzies like mosquitoes?

Yes, you can pitch a tent, park your caravan or rent a 'van' like a mini house. Mozzies are mosquitoes, but who wants to write all that, not us Aussies.

82 bites! Poor you!

Yes the pizza was very nice. It's raining so we'll go to the Power House Museum today.

[jillyson]

Good old airline regulations! At least you were close enough where you could buy some!
