Back to reality







Hello family and friends, thought it was about time to update you on what has been happening here over the last 5mths.
Well where to begin - after our trip away last year we came back to Sunseeker on the 19th January and it was my (Chris) birthday on the 20th so good timing. We came home and sorted out the house here all good after being locked up for almost 6mths no leaks or drama's even after the dust storm late 09 there was very little dust inside which surprised us I have to admit. Took us a couple of days to get properly sorted and then we were packing our bags once again to move into our friends Helen and David's house to mind the cat and house while they made their way to Christchurch then onto Nelson to have a holiday with family. We were spoilt as they have a large house with amazing outlook and a gorgeous pool, we stayed here for almost 2wks, Helen and David only live about 20mins from us so we could come back to the village and clean up and empty out the small caravan.
While at H & D I had a phone call from my old employer and was asked did I want to come in and do some casual work, so on the 28th January saw me once again starting back at LEP Colour Printers at Warana and I am still there working as a casual on call and seem to get between 3-4days a week which is great, hours diff from 8 to 4per day so all good, I do not work Monday's so have a 3day weekend, this is great as we can go away with the caravan for the weekend coming back on a Monday.

See what I mean by a beautiful place to stay who needs to travel overseas with views like these. - Helen & Davids outdoor area overlooking Chancellor Lake - Sippy Downs
