Hey everyone again after the ridiculously hot day at the tennis i thought it was not possible to get any hotter, how wrong i was!!! On sunday we thought we would take it easy and relax at the house so we just watched a bit of the tennis and some of the other aussie channels on the tv till imd afternooon. Then we decided we go to the local shop for a quick snack and walk before we went swimming and i have never felt such heat in my life, the feeling as i opened the front door was like when you open the oven door and a big rush of hot air blows in your face and we were all quite taken back by this, then as we kept walking it just didnt stop the 43 degree wind kept punishing us. We also said it was like walking along and having a giant hairdryer being permantly blown in your face on its hottest level. We didnt actually sweat because it just instantly dried up it was unreal never before have i experienced boiling hot super wind. Then when we finally made our 10 min walk to the shops and back
(felt like 30 min cos of the heat) we all set off for the local swimming pool to cool off and relax, and i can say relaxing was the last thing we did while we were there. It was me tony helen rob harry and giles that all went certainly was a squeeze in the car. Then as soon as we got there all just went and jumped straight into to an extremely busy pool. It felt wierd swimming again i for one had not been for ages but i instantly warmed to it again especially as rob had bought a ball with him, then as we started mucking around with the ball we just started to throw it to each other we started to leave rob and conner his friend who was in there already out and it soon turned into one of the most competitive games of chucking a ball to each other in my life. We started to dominate but then as they got it and went to the 3 metre end and me harry and giles couldnt tread water as long as rob or his friend (Rob who is swimming in state championship in couple of
weeks and does bout 80 lengths a day and is only 11 and quite easily say the strongest 11 year old i have ever seen in my life, probably as strong as frail boys such as Nath and Chris) Anyway when we got it back and swam to shallower water Tony and helen joined in (robs mum and dad) started to get harder and more physical but then helen had to leave and the ball hit random man i call him for the purposes of this and he joined in so it was 4 v 3 again then it got serious with Tony fully getting into it jumping on my back and dunking me under the water but dont worry i got him back later and then there was rob who was extremely violent and we have the marks to prove it i got clawed to the face and eyes harry got a punch in the face which made him bleed(lol) and giles to my knowledge took a few hits as well. It was an epic battle probably call it a draw in the end. Then We went back home to try and get to sleep in the ridiclous heat.
Yesterday was also a quiet day most of the day was spent relaxing and planning the next couple of weeks here in melbourne. While doing that we figured we would have to phone the Greyhound ( Bus were catching all up the east coast) to book our spaces on it in advance but giles or harry didnt wanna phone them and i had had enough of having to make every phone call or ask every person on the street if we wanted to know something so i said it was up to won of them and they both pathetically refused so we ended up playing a game of poker and first one out made the phone call if you had looked at harry and giles during the game you would have thought we were playing for million pounds and guess who lost ME not that i was bothered but it would have been funny to see one of them make the call. Then later on we decided to go down to the local tennis courts for a quick game but we were all a bit rusty and out of touch. We just decided to play singles against each other all rotating best out of 5 games and after mine and harrys first epic game which he won 3-2 i found my form and won the remaining 5 games 3-0 DOMINANT!! Federer who?? Then after we were all knackered from that we went back to the house and rob weas adimant we played a couple more games of poker ( i think we got him hooked) then we just had dinner and talked for a bit and up came up the conversation of what we planned to do and harry mentioned he would like to go to the botanic garderns and then tony asked him why particularly he was interested in seeing them and the response was more than amusing, something along the lines of umm.......errr.....because.......i would like to ............err.......ummm....... meanwhile me and giles were trying to contain our laughter it cracked us up for sure. Anyway today i think were going to the aquarium today which should be gd and buy some tickets for other things. As i write this harry is riding round me and banging into my chair with robs scooter Lol sorry bout the lack of gd photos i will make sure i get some gd ones over the next couple of days.
Hope everyone over there is doing gd
