Busy, Busy, Busy!

Friday at last! Busy week for one and all.
We had a visit last weekend from someone Jeff used to work with back in the UK.  He had hired a van in Sydney and was travelling up to Cairns with his family: huge distance!  Good to see them though and good for them to be out of the van for a night too I think. They couldn't get over how spacious our house seems to be... I think that it being 'open plan' gives it that feeling of space which you don't see much in the UK.
Oli played in the inter-schools regional tennis comp on Wednesday so had a day off school... he then made it through to the last 16 so had a 2nd day off school! He came up against some amazing players on the 2nd day and didn't progress much further... however, he won the 'umpire's award' for the best umpiring of the tournament! Bless him. He's playing sooo much tennis now and absolutely loves it.  We had a knock-around after I finished work during the week and it was exactly that: a knock around.  I didn't seem to be able to even win a point!
Oli has another day off schoolio today: Nambour Show Day.  We went off to Mooloolaba for a walk and spent some time on the beach. Gorgeous, gorgeous afternoon with temperatures around 24 degrees!  Getting cooler now though so have pulled on my sweatshirt.  Oli has no tennis this weekend so we're off to Rainbow Beach again tomorrow as loved it.  Might dip my toes in the ocean too but that's definitely a 'might'.  Only one more week at school for Oli and then 2 weeks off: yay!!
