House sitting

We've spent the last month sitting various houses. One before christmas in Broome which was very nice and best of all had a pool. Only one guinea pig died (of old age) while we were there so although not great, there was another five that survived.

Then Trace and the kids flew down to Perth and stayed at Harry and Grace's house while they went to Victoria. They had a great time and caught up with Terry connor and Becky and Miranda, Gus, Sienna and a strange man with a collander on his head. Ellie also arrived from Melbourne for a post Christmas catch - up which was great. No chooks died and they claim the garden was in good order when they left.

Perth cont...

Well the rest of our time in Perth has been very busy. Tracey, Sylvia and Harry took Rube, Grace and Anna to see Alice at the movies while Darcy and I went to see Swan Districts (black and white stripes) beat South Fremantle with Lana and Holly. Harry also took the kids for a session on the waterslides at Hilarys and managed to almost knock himself out while Ruby pulled a toenail off and Darcy got a corked thigh. Grace was the only one to get flushed through unscathed.

We visited the Fremantle prison for a torchlight tour which was a bit spooky. The picture is of Darcy just about to have his "inspection" before being incarcerated. There were actors dressed as prisoners who would roam around talking to the visitors about the place. We tried to leave Anna there but she escaped.

The Easter Bunny was smart enough to be able to find the kids so far away from home. I think Anna’s letter made it very clear to him where we were.

Thanks to Harry and Grace for having us. They were perfect hosts. We left after 9 days of being very well fed and entertained. It was great to meet Lana and Holly as well and hopefully we will be able to catch up later in our travels.
