Kid Free Day

The kids went to day care today so it was quiet at the house.  I spent the day working (as did Sparky) while Rese was gardening.

After lunch, we went down to the lake for a cool off swim.  I had a go on the paddle board, which was difficult, but a fun challenge.  Then I had a go in the surf ski – although it was more of an open kayak for one.  Balance in that was pretty difficult, especially as there was a hole in it, so as it got water in, when ever you paddled, you would lose balance.  With no bung, after tipping it would get even more water in it, compounding the problem.  It was good fun though.

After picking the kids up from day care, I got some more work done, and then went to watch Rese play water polo.  They were short players in the second game and I nearly had to fill in, but didn’t have board shorts on so had to miss out (that, and I doubt I could swim the length of the pool after trying to keep balance on the boards today!).  After that Rese and I went to the pub for dinner with the team – $15 for a steak (decent steak too) and 2 pots!

We stayed at the pub until closing time (so got a few more drinks in), and then ended up at the back of Rese and Sparky’s (following one of the players) and met their new neighbours.  The main waiter and waitress from Saturday night were there too.  After a few drinks we ended up back down the lake for a midnight swim.

Eventually we got home and called it a night.  My big one for the trip, and still on track to not have a hangover on this trip!
