Thanks everyone!

Had a great day of doing absolutely buggar all - did my celebrating yesterday :friday

We had a leisurely afternoon of lawn bowls (shame on you those that thought they were too old...) then to the pub for a cleanser or 2, then off to an aussie pub to watch one of the greatest cricket innings the World Cup has ever seen :king Was funny introducing the english crew to a truely unique experience of 1000 pissed aussies watching a game of cricket in a pub.:friday

Afterwards we hit a spanish restaurant for a magnificent feast and a fair share of sangria... At the end of the night one of the freedivers thought it would be funny to do some statics... yeah we know how to rock rofl . Not sure if I won or not but I did manage to send a text whilst not breathing... that has to be some sort of record. I think I got to bed around 3am to be woken up by mum and dad in Australia at 8:30 :naughty . So showered and dressed with caffeine injection, headed to the local chinese for some dim sum and settled in for an afternoon of quality snoozing on the lounge, watching cooking shows in between nods. What more could you want?

Thanks for the good wishes!

Cheerio,
Ben

ps. love you too Spaghetti - in a man-loving kind of way!

We managed to ring the restaurant and push our booking back half an hour so we could watch the end of the first innings. Then when we got there we noticed they had tv's so we made them turn them turn the cricket on:D

Someone must be wondering why they received a text consisting of random letters and numbers... rofl
 
Glad to hear you had a "G'Day Mate". My best wishes to you.

Aussie mate of mine rung me from down under one time. He never did get the hang of the time difference thing. He was in the pub 5pm local (Aussie) time. Nuff said :vangry .
