Easter UpdateAuthor: jawapro

Wasn’t long ago that we had long weekend - and Easter means we get an even better one. 4 days off!
On the Friday, we headed East to Anson’s Bay, where my Grandma has a shack. Uncle Ben and his family were down for Easter, and we all got together to go and cut some wood up the bush to keep Grandma’s going over winter. (or at least for a day or 2, depending how fast she burns it)
It was great catching up with Mike and Gabi again (as well as Grandma, Ben and Bec, and even Pete (who’s not related)). Mike and Gabi are pictured here doing the usual - trying to push each other into the water. Gabi has a slight disadvantage here – as her right arm is in plaster. It could be argued that it’s a benefit, as it means Mike would get into lots of trouble if he actually got her wet.
Saturday was fairly relaxing. Klutz and I played some Xbox (finally justifying the purchase of the 2nd controller), and generally recovering from the physical labour we’d put in the previous day carting wood. We’re both geeks, and don’t get much more exercise than occasionally carting computers to the car and back for LANs.
Sunday was good too. Nothing overly special. Church as always. Our church doesn’t believe in doing special Easter or Christmas services, so there was nothing extra flash or anything - just some good solid teaching. Actually really enjoyable.
Monday saw another Exeter Market - but this time I was able to get away without spending any money (quite a feat).
Which brings us to Tuesday (today). Back to work (all too soon).
I was at work today when my boss asked if I could go to Melbourne tomorrow to help him do some network testing. The idea was to put us on the ship, but being Easter it was too full (pity, Mike and Gabi and family were going home tonight, so it would have been a fun crossing). So I’m off to the airport early tomorrow morning (flight is at 6:30).
Tonight I was able to catch up with Ben, Bec, Mike, and Gabi before they boarded the ship to go home. I took them for a look at my new house (from the foot-path, there are still tenants in it). Uncle Nathan and Aunty Julie had turned up to see Ben and Bec off, and had a look too. Everyone was suitable impressed, or at least made and effort to seem impressed.
Anyway - I’d better go and get some sleep. I’ve got to be up stupidly early tomorrow (anything before 9 is stupidly early).
And it’s just started raining - cool!
Catch ya next time Mike (and family)!
