The boys had hardly had any sleep the night before and slept in until after
8:30. As soon as they had inhaled their breakfast they were off collecting
more lizards and playing cricket. Bugger!
Damo and Brendan both do home schooling as they are away for
a year so when they were called in we took the opportunity to get the boys
school year rolling with a solid 45 minutes of writing and maths! The cogs are
moving pretty slowly upstairs for both of them after 2 ½ months so De really
has her work cut out for her at the moment!
After more lizard catching and scorpion avoiding the boys
had a couple of hours nana nap to try and catch up on last night’s debacle.
After yesterdays success fishing was top of the list so we headed to the same
beach with De coming along as well. As we pulled up three old blokes were
coming up each with two big salmon in their hands, they had only been there for
half an hour and a school had come through, Bingo!
Today was different to yesterday as the wind was blowing
pretty hard and it was a lot colder, especially in the water, so the enthusiasm
didn’t take long to dissipate. I kept trying for about 40 minutes but could see
the troops were getting anxious so we ended up heading back empty handed.
The boys were out lizarding again as soon as we returned but
this time managed to find a bearded dragon which Brendon, sure to be the next
Steve Irwin, had caught. I had put together some Thai fish cakes using Jacko’s
salmon and the two families had a great dinner together. Once the boys were in
bed we had a few more drinks, inviting another young couple over to join us,
with the Dads having a couple of extra chocolate rums to finish off another relaxing day Doin The Block!
