I’m terrible at keeping my promise to post more often, but I’m here, I’m alive and I have some time to catch up on all those comments I need to leave, and a new blog post. But this will be reasonably short after the extensive post I made last time.

My parents came up for the long weekend on the 25th, to spend some time with us and to go to a Caravan and Motorhome Expo at Caulfield. So they came up on Friday, and since Michael was at the Wrestling that night, it was just me, Mum and Dad. We ordered in Indian food for dinner, had a few drinks and then they went back to their hotel room for the night.

On Saturday, we joined Mum and Dad at the Expo they wanted to go to, which was (for me) kind of boring, but it was nice to spend the time with them, of course. It was 4 or so hours of just looking at caravans and motorhomes (yawn!). Anyway, we finished there at about 2-3pm, came home and then had Alisha (my sister) and Jernej (her boyfriend) come around so that we could go out for dinner. We went to the Irish Times, one of our favourite pubs here in the city, and had a great dinner and more than a few drinks. We came back home, mum and dad went back to the hotel at around 1am, and Alisha and Jernej hung around till about 2:45am, drinking and talking and stuff, which was fun.

On Sunday, we got up reasonably early - Mum and Dad came around for breakfast and to leave their stuff at our house since they had to check out of the hotel. Alisha joined us for lunch at Melbourne Central, and we did a bit of shopping and walking around the CBD before about 4:00pm where we had to go back home so Mum and Dad could get the bus to the airport at 5:30 and needed a bit of a sit-down before leaving.

So, Mum and Dad went home, then Michael, Alisha and I went to the supermarket for a few things we needed. Alisha and I decided to go out and get some dinner, so we went to this place called Grill’d where they have really yummy beef and chicken burgers. We came home around 7:30, Alisha hung out for a bit longer then headed home, and we got into bed.

Now, I have had a sore throat since Saturday, and yesterday morning I woke up with the sore throat, chest pain, coughing, runny nose and dry chapped lips, so I decided not to go to work and just stay home. I visited the Doc who said it could be a viral thing, so all I have to do is sit home and give myself some R&R. So good that I got a couple days off work, but not so good since I’m sick and it’s money I’m missing out on.

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll be heading back to work (:() and getting back to the normal, daily grind.

So, that’s the last few days in a nutshell. Nothing super exciting for anyone else, but was fun for me
