I know that I said that I was going to be updating you with less regularity than when the rest of the family was not here, but I realized that I haven't been doing any writing. That's because I thought that I had used up my megabits remaining for my monthly internet contract were running short, and I was saving them for talking to people on Skype – Oh by the way, those of you who we have bought cameras and mics for, they aren't only decorations, we were hoping that you would use them to talk to us. You know who you are, but just in case you don't I could name you all! It takes about 3 minutes to set up and sign up, and then you are talking to the world for free! www.skype.com
Enough nagging...What we have been up to I hear you cry! You may be aware that 2nd of September of an anniversary of when I got the ball and chain and had it welded around my ankle eight years ago! J Well in the tradition of most couples, I promptly forgot that it was an important day, and volunteered for some Overtime work that day. (Thoughtful, I know). Well, after an ear bashing, and some grovelling with the rostering department, I managed to get out of the shift.
After the narrow escape with my life, I thought that we would at least manage to have a romantic dinner for two, at some swanky restaurant. After a couple inquiries, I managed to secure a booking at the top restaurant in Perth. There were only two little drawbacks to our romantic meal for two (both were two legged little bundles of fun). Baby Sitters are decidedly scarce at the moment, and we couldn't find any that would look after our two for an evening meal, so we made the romantic dinner for two into a romantic lunch for two, with two onlookers.
When I say top restaurant, it is only top by its location. It is located at the top of one of the 4 or 5 sky scrapers in Perth, and it is a revolving restaurant, with Breath Taking 360 degree Panoramic Views of the City of Perth, and the surrounding areas. It was fabulous, and a bonus that we went at lunch, as in the evening we wouldn't have had as nice views. All that you could do, was say "Oh Wow!"
After the meal we rolled along the river front for a while taking in the scenery, and relaxing. What a very pleasant afternoon, and we eventually got home about 4 after posing with some more statues, and chasing seagulls (just like Brighton and Hove Seafront). Not many photos of Perth this time. The memory card of the camera went on the blink after a lot of photos from the roof top restaurant – so the photos that I had planned to share with everyone haven't made it, and I'll include a couple taken from the mobile phone of Madame of our very shy daughters – obviously respecting some more of the local art work. (It makes it more than visual art; it helps it become functional art) – said in a true Sunday Times Art and Culture Supplement style).
