Hi everyone,
Had a nice weekend, seemed to go so fast though. Went to view the house on Sat lunch time, they do things very different over here when it comes to house renting/buying. The owner opens the house for everyone that is interested for 15 min only, the agent is there. If you are interested you complete a form with all your details, the the owner decides who he wants! Anyway, although it was nice and new, it was quite small, the bedroom was smaller than what we have at home, but what they are doing is demolishing a nice old house and building 2 new houses on the same land, so not what we wanted. We will have to keep looking.
We drove down to the Mornington peninsula on Sunday and went to Julie and Ians (old Lowtoners), we had a lovely Sunday roast and Ian drove us to see some lovely sights. It is very pretty and more rural, but too far for Steve to commute to the city. The weather has been lovely, beautiful blue skies but cold in the mornings, about 7.0c when we wake up, the girls at school are all wearing their winter woolies, gets to 18 – 20 in the day, dark at 5.30pm. It will be our shortest day on June 21st, when it will be your longest day.
Went looking for gyms yesterday, looked at 3, but they are just not as good as in the UK, definatley not as good as FX, they don’t have jacuzzis! One did have a steam room, but basic, the best one so far seems to be fitness first, but a bit older, and you have to wear a swimming cap in the pool, can you imagine!!! I have one more to look at yet.
Went down to the beach with Ellie after school yesterday, it was so still, as the sea is the Pacific and the bay is horseshoe shape, there are no real waves, more like a lake. There was absolutely no-one else on the beach, so beautiful, with the sun shimmering on the surface as it was starting to set, will put the pics on later.
Going to go and see Xena again today, she seems to be doing well so far

Hi,
Sounds like you had a good weekend. Beach sounds absolutely beautiful so make the most of it. 15 minutes dose not sound long enough to decide if you like a property or not. If you cannot find a decent fitness club you could always run up and down the beach LOL.
Give xena a stoke from me, Iam glad she is doing ok…
Good luck with your house hunting.x

There you go instead of nursing open up your own fitness club for the X-Pats!!! Enjoy the nice clean, peaceful beach is that one you will be able to take Xena on? Just think no more mud baths for her and not having to wash her down everyday. Im sure you’ll find a house soon, it is still early days. How is Ste doing at work?
Give our Xena a big love from me and little Ben.
Love to all Kath
