9th Jan...... Only days left and a sting in the tail...NOT !, Alexandra Hills

So, the bikes gone and it feels like we're just marking time till we're on the plane and out of here. Still got a few things to do before we go, after all, cant leave the place untidy now can we?   Out comes the mower and all three terraces get a going over. I can see I ain't gonna do much in this heat. The temp is something like thirty seven/eight and by the time I'm finished with the lawns I'm sweating so much, me nuts think their self basting. Lin has decided there's only one thing to do in this heat, put yer feet up and turn the telly on. Now why didn't I think of that?.

One o'clock and Lin's had enough telly, I really don't know how she's lasted that long. You might think the TV back in the UK is pants..... Would you believe their still watching Gilligan's Island, Hogan's hero's, Mash and Get Smart to name just a few. Just as surprising, they all seem to watch it on sixty inch TVs..... ( wonder if they know man has landed on the moon?).

I can tell Lin's getting bored Co's now she's got her flip flop off, wandering round the house, beating the sh*t out of any ants she can find, and in these old Queenslanders, she can find plenty, just drop a crumb on the floor and watch it sprout legs and make a dash for the door. I think its time we went out before Lin gets in enough drumming practice with her flip flop to join a band, or worse still, turns her attention on me.

We're at Victoria Point and gonna grab a bite to eat, have a wander round then off to the pictures to catch Tom Cruise's latest attempt at entertainment. We stop off at a restaurant close to the cinema, I order the squid and Lin's having a go at the whiting. The Whiting turns up and Lin's knocking it back a treat. The squid arrives, now I'm expecting rings, instead I get balls and I didn't even know squid's had balls.... ahh what the hell, a bit chewy, but what can ya expect, chips were nice though.

At the movie's Tom (As Jack Reacher) does his thing and slaps the bad guy about a bit, shoots one or two and saves the good old US of A... from evil so all ends well. Not the best movie I've seen this year, I think I preferred 'Wreck it Ralph'. (Now that was a movie...... yea right).

Here come the piccies....
ok...let me set the scene... I,ve just smacked the crap out of a 'couple of 100 ants and then in comes John and says 'oh, oh blimey...' what? i ask.... "we have a scorpian" comes the reply... so theres me rushing round the other side of the kitchen bar and i'm looking up... 'oh' i reply..then I start to turn myself into superwoman (as I do).. no costume... just a swirl , arms out stretched ready to fly and rescue...

 I'm here... dont panic...

Now here comes the scorpian murder.... lol...

accept...it was't a scorpian it was a metal fleur-de-lys hook for a chrissie pressie...hahaha

So, rescue over... peace restored and all is well with the world..

Even Lucy wanders off....

see you all soon... cant wait xx
