My first slab

The little bird was there to greet us again this morning. it seems to like this hangout on the fence, judging by the amount of shit it leaves there...

Here we see the Leists in their natural habitat, the kitchen.

In the woolies carpark today a fancy smenzy oldtimer called "TNT". Parked on the disabled spot.. hmmmm.

When we came home from shopping we drove by some workmen from Telstra that Vicky had spotted before.

I couldn't resist the urge to get out and ask them if their work would improve or speed up us getting a bloody connection finally. The apparatus shown in this photo is actually the device that connects lines from the exchange to lines coming from the houses. It was aparently a miracle that people could still use their phones, that's how big a mess it was. The mechanic who opened it before, from AAPT (whom we wanna get hooked up with), already said it was a bit messy. It's going to take these guys a week to figure it all out and get it organized in a way that it's workable again.

This photo was taken without permission by the way and during a moment the work dude wasn't looking. And also nobody told me to write this either.

After all this I was ready for a beer so I bought my first slab.

It was warm today and we needed our fix of icecream. Next to Cibo is the BP Solar shop where I wanted to have a look for a long time now. They sell ready made kits that they can install on your house to provide yourself with solar powered electricity. The government gives rebates on this etc to make it all more attractive. The cheapest setup would cost us $6500 and the most expensive one $16000 or so. I would love to have solar power. Any excess energy will go back in the grid for which the energy company pays us then. Isn't that the bomb?!

Eventually we got to Cibo. Ace and banana are my favorites.

After walking your feet dusty and sweaty in your crocs all day there's nothing better than to walk straight into the sea with them, which we did.

We went to Larg's bay where I actually ate a broodje kroket because the former owner of the snackhouse there was Dutch and the new owner hasn't changed the menu. It was allright actually.
