Last few days have been much the same. Although I woke up early Thursday morning and went for a swim to watch the sunrise (6.00). It’s a beautiful place to be watching the sun rise at, although it’s a bit chilly.

Friday night Rese and I hit the pub after the kids went to sleep, for a quiet couple. It turned out to be a bigger night than we had planned. There was a band playing which did some great covers, and some of their own stuff, so I bought their CD. It was a really fun last night out.

Saturday came, and I had decided I was not going to work this weekend, for a change. Just as I started to pack the house up, I got an SMS from Rese saying they were going down the beach. So I put on sun cream and joined them. It was 30+ degrees, and the ocean was just perfect! We went back to their house, and then went to Rachael and Jamie’s so the kids could go in the pool for a bit. I then went home to have lunch. I got the awning off the van (to make the drive home more economical), did a bit more packing, and had some lunch.

Later in the afternoon we went back to the beach. It was a little bit cooler, so sitting on the beach was perfect as the sun was going down, and we had another great swim. Back at the house, it was decided we were going to have a BBQ-party with the neighbours. So I went home to get changed for the night. As the night progressed, we found out Jamie had VIP tickets to the Ballina Reggae-festival (http://www.reggaefest.com.au/). So Jamie, Marcus and I got in a taxi and off we went! Free entry, heaps of drink tickets, and some great music, made for a fantastic evening! After the festival we went back to a house in Lennox (the guy who got Jamie the tickets). After a drink I went back to Rese and Sparky’s, where things were still happening. Eventually it was time to go home and call it a night.

Reflecting, it was a pretty awesome weekend – pity it’s my last one up here…
