I went south {Holiday}

So I flew south {to Perth} for a holiday.

Before I left I was okay with the 40++ degree weather.  Yes, it was hot!  Yes, I was sweaty and gross, but I was okay.

I arrived in Perth and asked my SIL if she was trying to turn me into a Popsicle because her air conditioning was so cold.  I wished I had packed jeans and hoped I didn't get sick, because let's face it I found it cold!

A week down south & I have returned {after an epic road trip with my sister and her girls} and I am melting.  It is so hot I can barely function! 
I am so hot it is like sitting in a sauna for the entire day {not that I would ever chose to sit in a sauna in the first place}! The kitchen is so hot that the tile floor could almost burn your feet & IT IS INSIDE THE HOUSE!

Thankfully, for my poor hot, sweaty body we have FIVE DAYS before we start our epic adventure to leave our home state.

Until then I am drinking as much as I am sweating & trying to think cooler thoughts.

Mia Mia Station {Caretaking}

We are still here and still care taking at Mia Mia.

The weather has been kind, and by kind I mean over 45 most days but still under 50 {oh how things change, I used to refer to 35 as hot!}.

 

 

 

Not much has changed, well not really.  We've had some rain and we all enjoyed sitting back and watching the storm, roll in and provide us with some relief.

We do however have a new house pet, 'Chocolate'.

 

Kalgoorlie Part II {Caravan Park - Working)

A month.

It is hard to believe that we have been in sunny Kalgoorlie for a month already.  Time really does fly when you are having fun.

Which given we are in Kalgoorlie and at a Caravan Park we had been.  Amazing what meeting some wonderful peeps can do for ones moral. We didn't really do much other than another photo taking afternoon drive, eating, drinking & loads of talking.

Knowing that the McCann's where heading off in a few days meant we had a great weekend celebrating all our time together but sadly the celebrations came to an abrupt end, as did our time in Kalgoorlie.

Kalgoorlie Part I {Caravan Park - Working}

Two weeks today we have been at the caravan park, time really is flying.

We have seen out the last week of school holidays, J has started work, we have visited the Superpit a few times, the lookout over the town, driven around and checkout some of the amazing buildings but by far the most exciting is deciding to start the smalls in school!

 

 

 

 

 

 

OH, I almost forgot we also had a trip to the cinema's on the last day of the school holidays.  The smalls & I watched Turbo and they enjoyed every minute of it.  Who would have thought a movie about a snail could be so good.

I have again fallen in love with some buildings, with the history and more importantly my favourite building in Boulder is still for sale & almost $100k cheaper!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really could spend every spare minute that I have taking pictures of these beautiful buildings. {Even more enthusiasm to do so with my new camera}

The boys were very happy that the afternoon we decided to go to the Superpit to see a blast, it was a very big one and looked true amazing {even to me, an anti-hole-in-the-ground person}.

 

 

 

 

Given that we are in town for six weeks more, with J working we decided to put the smalls into school for this time to give us all a break.  They are LOVING every minute of it after a week, which is great for all of us!

We topped off this last week with a wonderfully interesting night with our new neighbours {well over the road ones anyways} and a quiet night last night with delivered pizza.  Perfect end given the terrible change in the weather.

Can't wait to see what the next few weeks will bring us.
