Heeey Dana, happy birthday to you Andy already sms’d you this morning so I’m blogging tonight. Hope you had a great birthday today, Mala and Andrew say happy birthday too (had dinner with them tonight).

Last weekend we celebrated my parents 35th Anniversary at the Epping RSL which was a nice place.

The food was ok, Andy had the chicken and I had the beef, we sat on the ‘kids’ table and shared a bottle of wine with them. I helped Andy resist the urge to go play on the pokies. We took many photos (will upload soon!) and all in all had a pleasant evening.

We celebrated the engagement family-style by going to the Fook Yuan restaurant in Chatswood. We didn’t manage to take a single nice photo everybody looks terrible so here are some terrible pics:

 

Happy birthday Jojo hope you’re having a lovely time in Ardrossan and that you have an awesome birthday.

Well well it’s been an interesting week. The biggest news has been that Dana came to town for a few days and Andy’s bike almost left town!

The first thing that really happened was Andy’s computer broke down and he spent all week trying to fix it. That was purely self inflicted though (trying to install a new hard drive and switch cases at the same time).  Then one morning he realised somebody had tried to steal his bike (damaging it in the process) and this was after finding out his tool kit was stolen from the back of his bike the previous week. Andy’s fixed both the computer and his bike, he’s attached an alarm to it so hopefully we should hear it go off if anybody touches it and hopefully this streak of bad luck has ended now!

Dana arrived on Friday morning so both me and Andy took the opportunity to take a day off. She arrived with yummy cookies and pressies too, thanks Nigel for the cyberman clock and sonic screwdriver, Andy said they’ll totally come in handy next time alien pigs attack local monuments.

So we hung out at towers and then later that night me, Andy and Andrea took Dana to a rather interesting show called "Busting Out" at the Factory Theatre in Enmore so we had dinner at a nearby Asian restaurant. On Saturday me and Dana did a bit of shopping at Hornsby while Andy was fixing his bike, poor guy. Later that night we went to my parents house for dinner.

On Sunday Andy was still fixing his bike so me and Dana took the train into the city and went to the Mind Body Spirit Festival at the Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour where we went to all the stalls and must have drank half our body weight in sample teas. On Sunday night after fish and chips for dinner we dropped Dana off at my parents place so that she and my mum could hang out on Monday before driving her to the airport.

All in all it was a lovely weekend, thanks Dana for coming all the way to Sydney and visiting us, next to visit we hope is Joanne and Wayne, Nigel or Rod when he’s well enough and Isabella’s always welcome, parents/guardians optional :p

Stay tuned for more updates as they come!

Heys,

First things, first, there’s a new poll out, be sure to vote on the sidepanel ->

For those of you who have noticed the missing whiteboard, basically it got spammed after upgrading, we can put the old one back if anybody thinks they’d use it but you can comment on each individual post. Let us know.

We spent SriLankan New Years with the extended family, pics are below.

Our memory doesn’t extend beyond the previous week so last week we had the usual Tuesday night dinner with Andrea and Rhyl at the Inn, last night we helped Annabelle brush up on her pool skills before sending her on a dangerous ride home on the train and tomorrow night we’ll be doing steak night at the Fernando house. Got the motorbike repaired (with the bike repair kit stolen out of its locked compartment) and the car got serviced and its brake pads replaced so we can start getting out again.
