Stuff...

Apart from breaking my finger on the first anniversary of our arrival in Australia (will always remember where we spent it I s'pose: the A&E in Caloundra), it's been pretty uneventful here on the Sunny Coast. 
On school hols at the moment which is great: lie-ins a-plenty.  We're all normally up and about by 6am whilst working and school-ing so it's been lovely.  Jeff has today off (Queen's birthday here in Queensland) which is a treat for him.  His work has been so intense that he hasn't been able to take time off all year. He's even been working Saturdays to ensure that the contract's completed by December. It's good to have him around.
Oli and Jeffers are playing table tennis at the moment and then we're off to the beach for a walk and a coffee.  Mooloolaba is a holiday destination so is chocka with tourists. Great atmosphere although trouble with parking during hols! 
1st of October now and the summer is almost upon us.  Summer means humidity and thunderstorms here in Queensland though, so different than summer in the UK.  We have managed to persuade our landlord to install fans in our rental  property which is good so we've just signed up for another 6 months. Looking to buy our own place next year.  So glad that we didn't rush in to things, although I will feel more 'settled' when we have bought somewhere.
