First day of 2010!

So onto a new blog for the new year. This morning Ross and I went for a walk around the suburbs of Everton Hills. We tried a new route which took us in a figure 8 from John and Caz's house. It was a lovely morning so it was nice to be outside and walking off some of the excess of the past week.

Back at home we had breakfast and chilled out at home. Ross and John finally finished building the garden shed (as you can see from the photo). About 11 we drove out to have a look at Anaconda - a camping superstore. Ross and I stocked up on mosquito bite zappers that take the itch out of bites with a very small electrical current which breaks down the poison.

From there I headed next door to Spotlight to check out their beads. I found the bargain bin for beads and bought a few things. I met up with the others out the front and we drove to Sizzler for lunch.

Ross and I hadn't been to Sizzler for years - probably since we lived in Perth (only 7 1/2 years ago!). I ordered a "petite" steak and then hit the salad bar - yum. Dessert, as always, was the best. We all rolled out with completely full bellies.

We spent the rest of the afternoon napping and relaxing. I went straight to bed and slept for an hour or two. I woke up about 5 and joined everyone else on the couches downstairs. We watched some TV followed by a movie - King Arthur. We also tried the chocolate orange liqueur that we had bought for John and Caz. It was really good.

We all headed to bed about 11 after a relaxing first day to the year.
