Country and Surf

Whats been going on lately? Well, last week Sunday we went to a country music show. We saw the McClymonts which would be an Australian version of the Dixie Chicks. I actually quite enjoyed the show even tho I'm not the biggest fan of country music. Barney won free tickets from the radio so we went! Last Tuesday night, Barney and I went to a Surf Film Festival. It was held at a place called Lizottes which is an old movie theatre. The balcony seating is from the old theatre and the stage floor seating has been transformed into a restaurant. We sat on the bottom, had a beautiful meal and got to enjoy a few surf films.

The films were crazy! I cannot believe what surfers can do. Some of the waves were in Tahiti and were 70-80ft high. Insane!! I have a huge appreciation for surfers who tackle the ocean like they do. The ocean's power always amazes me and I have learned to respect otherwise you can get yourself into serious trouble.

Speaking of surfing, Barney surfed twice yesterday and got up at 5am this morning to surf before work. The wind and swell have both been good, creating good surfing conditions. Needless to say he's been a happy man!

I'm doing well. I have booked my flights to go home to Canada in August and I can't wait. Barney wasn't originally going to join me but he is now. He will be coming for about 10 days and I will be there for over 3 weeks! We are both very excited to see my family, celebrate with Matthew and Heather as they get married and to meet all the new babies in the family. There will be 3 new ones for me to meet!! Barney's parents have sold their home in Byron Bay so we will be going up there in May to visit, enjoy Byron and help bring some stuff back down with us. They aren't moving until September so we hope to make it up there a few times before they move. That's about all from here! I have thrown in sime pictures of a few storms we had because I don't have any other recent photos to enjoy. And to finish, a picture of Jessie, who really wanted my chocolate easter egg. Wishful thinking Jess! :)
