Sy Football

Ey up!!!

Today after work Si had a football match. I have never got to actually see him play untill today!. when I have been to watch he ends up injured in the first 5 mins ha ha ha....

Well he has joined up with a team who play on Monday nights (outdoor) and another team who play Thursay nights (indoor).

Along I went to give him support..... we were running a bit late, as our tea was sooooooo lovely, when we got there the guy that is useually in goal was injured, thus because Si was late he had to go in goal (so once again I still havent seen him play properly).... any way..... HE WAS AWSOME!!!!! he saved so many goals he was like a pro!! I was so proud of him. Infact the whole team played really well! They ended up winning 4-3.

I can't wait to go watch again, I am not sure whether there is anywhere for me to watch from for the matches on Thursdays, but I will pop along and see...

Go Si!!!!

Aplogies

Ey Up....

Well I said I would keep this up to date, and guess what I have failed......

Due to internet problems I have been unable to update at all (its soooooooo slow....)

Well what have we been up to???

Fisrt of all let me say... WE HAVE FINALLY GOT OUR THINGS! Yippeeee, minus a few things as they were not allowed through customs oops (my precious bags boo hoo i loved them so.....)

I have started a new job working as a project support officer for IT in a place called RSL Care, I am really enjoying it, so is Si as we now have 2 wages comming in!

Si is still working away on his projects, he has even been offered another job somewhere else in Oz, but I dont think he is going to take it as we want to stay here, and we have only just got settled....

We have met a great couple called Ruth and Brian (same age as us) they are here on a 457 visa too and they have come from Newcastle!!!! Ruth had not been enjoying it up to now but I will tell you all about that later.... I have a lot to say.

We have been to a place called Mount Tambourine (it threw it down the whole time... again i will post a seperate blog for this.

Also we went fishing over the weekend with Paul and his son Daniel... we were out from 8am untill 7pm.. what a long day... we caught loads of whiting fish and 5 squid.... later we had to wait until the sun set to catch the big deep sea fish as this is when the tide comes in and we move to a place where the water is over 70 foot deep!!! Unfotuatley we did't catch any big fish boo hoo..... they wernt taking the bait..... Its a bit of a nightmare if your a woman too as there is no where to pee!!!! I tried to pee in a bucket (with everyone looking the other way... but alas I got stage fright ha ha and had to wait untill we got a shore and I could use a toilet phewwwwww.... that was a relief..... I think I will stick to the short trips and leave the long trips to the boys ha ha xxxxx

Any way I know this is a quik one but gotta get back to work so al catch ya later x

Mount Tambourine

Today we went to Mount Tambourine.

The place is lovely, but we will have to go back when it stops raining.... yes it was like a november day.... cold, dark and raining...

But we had fun!

Off we all went - Ruth, Brian, Simon and I, in the Civic excited and looking forward to the wine tasting. The views up there were fantastic but due to the bad weather, the fog and rain was so bad I did not bother taking a pic of it as you couldnt see most places (will go back and take some another day).

We did a bit of wine tasting mmmmmmmm then headed off to the witches falls.... we had to walk through the rain forest to get there (quite ironic that it was raining....)



The waterfall was nice...

  After, we were so wet, we decided to go for a bite to eat, we looked like drowned rats!!!! ha ha ha.......

 

Here are some more pics.....

 

 Ruth, Brian & Si, after drying off in the Glow Work caves......

It was a fun day and there were loads a laughs, we will def do this again (on a nicer day).

AFL

 Today we went to the Gabba to watch AFL (Australian Football League).

Its a bit hard to follow, but we got there in the end.... the pitch is round/oval and the rules are diferent to rugby (even though it is played like it. They can kick and run with the ball, but when they throw it they have to punch it (not throw). It a kinda crazy game and it is played in 4 quarters, the whole game can last about 2 hours... phew......

Any way here are a few photos of they day.

 as you can see the pitch is a lot bigger than a noprmal rugby pitch.

 Here is our friend Marcus who we have met out here, he is origionaly from Castleford! Its was v hot and sunny so we created sun visors so we could see!!

Si was chilling with a beer ha ha  as you can see he is v confused about the rules of the game tee hee....

 Not a good photo of us both, but I thought I would put it in there anyway.

There was they crazy guy who waves a flag around every time someone scores, we did get a video of it, but am not sure how to get them on here at the moment.....

I am not sure we would go watch it again, I think we will stick to Rugby Union and League...... this was far too confusing for us....

Expo '88'

Today was Expo 88, this was origionaly in 1988, where people from Brisbane got together and put on a big show.

I can't remember the ins and ours of it, but here are some photos, there was lots going on....

 

  

 Everyone was really good!

Blond!

Today I dyed my hair!!! BLOND!!! well sort of....

I am not sure what I think of it yet, I am going to leave it a while and then maybe dye it back....

Here ya go....

Here are some pics of our new car! I cant belive we have new car! Its a Honda Civic type R. We are so not posh enough to have this car, its awsome!
