Well, it’s nearly there… the external render and paint is all done and we hardly recognise the place! Check out the piccies…
Also, Jason was lucky enough to score a pool table for his birthday, so we’ve already put in some late nights over a few drinks! Thanks for all the accessories everyone!
Lots of fiddly things to finish around the house, but it’s very livable now and it’s looking great…
Cheers,
Jason and Chrissy
Hi Everyone!
Well, October is a big birthday month in the Bell household, so Happy Birthday Jason, Dan and Susie!
Jason turned ’30′, so in celebration (or was it in commiseration?), we threw a bit of a shin-dig for him at home… a good opportunity to get lots of friends and family together to enjoy a heap of food and drink and christen our new, bigger, better home!
It turned out to be a good night and we all had a great time! Thanks to everyone who made it along to share it with us and also to those who couldn’t make it, but were thinking of us on the night!!!
Cheers,
Jason and Chrissy
Well, for those who didn’t know, I am currently in Perth for the APAC Conference (http://www.apac.edu.au/apac07/). I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to present, see conference program (http://www.apac.edu.au/apac07/pages/program/APAC07%20Program%20030907.htm).
Anyway, I arrived in Perth on Friday, after a five and a half hour flight from Brisbane. It was an uneventful flight and the Qantas crew were very good.
Well, the place I am staying in is called Rendezvous Observation City Hotel at Scarborough (http://www.rendezvoushotels.com/perth/). The room is pretty basic, but as you can see from the picture below, I have a nice view.
I spent the day (Saturday), wandering the City. I had a look around “Hay†Street Mall. I then decided to go for a walk along the Swan River. I came across an unusual structure, the Swan Bells Belltower which is the largest musical instrument in the world.
One of the most outstanding things I noticed about Perth, is that it is very clean and the people are quite friendly. There are lots of walking tracks, grassed areas with people playing on them, and I saw a lot of walkers and bike riders along the river bank.
My destination was of course the Casino (lost this time unfortunately), but it was a nice place (see image below). I think I walked around 5 kms from the Mall to the Casino.
On my return journey, I decide to walk past the WACA and check it out. Unfortunately it was all closed up, but now I at least know where it is!
Until next time…
Take it easy,
Jason
