Partied hard this long-weekend entertaining the guests. Friday took Amanda and co. up to Palm Beach North of sydney. it's where they film home & away and seein as they were all big big fans of the show they were keen to go there to see the sights! Turned out there wasn't much to see there and it took us about 3 hours to get back cause of rush hour traffic but they got a few photos so all was not lost. Friday night we played the customary pre goin out drinking games and as is the usual, drank the night away in the city. Saturday, blurry eyed and hungover we went into the city to see the sights. Sun was shining and all was good. We did a jet boat tour on the harbour which was hillarious. It's a dead fast boat that does quick turns, spins and stops and things like that. We got absolutely drenched. Several times we went full pelt then stopped in an instant which caused a massive wave that hit with great force full in the face and filled the boat. The 1st time he did it was a shocker...I thought we'd sunk there was that much water in the boat, no joke.
Saturday night was planning on being more chilled than the previous night but that plan soon went out the window. Went to watch the Everton - Liverpool game (Im sure Amanda loved that!) and had a few social beers and then somehow ended up having 'just one more' more than once! Found a busy bar on the seafront and so spent the night on the gin, with a few shots thrown in for good measure, catching up on all things old and new and chatting to a few other random people about random things.
Sunday was the hottest we've had so far (beating last weeks and the previous weeks record temperatures)...it's gettin hotter by the week. Started with a nice fry up to tame the hangover, then hit the beach for a spot of sunbathing and snoozing. Again, it was rammed. Saw the girls off in the afternoon then made the mistake of getting the bus into bondi junction to go food shopping. Gettin out of Bondi at the end of the day is a nightmare. There are literally hundreds of people stood waiting for the bus and the road out is chocka. There's only one main route into and out of the beach so it took me about 20 minutes on the bus just to travel the 1k along the seafront. Eventually got there, shopped till I dropped then came home for a feed, to watch ausie Idol and am now mentally preparing for another week of work! Just downloaded this weeks Match of the Day so gonna watch that and doze off.
