On Monday after work Di, Perry and myself walked to Perry's place in the Cross. Carol was outside Perry's waiting for us.
It was a lovely evening and from Perry's balcony you can look at the harbour and across the city. We had a bottle of bubbly and went looking for somewhere to eat- we ended up at Macleay Street Bistro which got busier as the nite went on. I had (wild) Barramundi which was very nice.
We caught a cab home and it was 10:30 or so-fairly late for us.
Tuesday. Carol heads back to New York today on a 11 o'clock flight. We got to the airport just on 9am-perfect timing by me! Carol went thru to customs a bit after 10 and we head off home.
We decided to take the TV to the technician- it was really heavy and awkward to take down the stairs and we had to put it in the boot with the lid tied up with wire.
I drove it around the corner to the tech guy- it ends up he's going on holidays starting this saturday! (I spoke to him today-$250 to fix it)
On Monday I saw an article in The Sydney Morning Herald website about Delta airlines offering cheap flights to the US- we were waiting on these! I did a quick check then and there and it ended up being $1100 return, including taxes!! So, on Monday nite I tried making a booking but the last step wouldn't work. I tried again last nite and I was able to get a ticket for Di but had problems with the credit card transaction trying to get my ticket.
So after nite shit on Tuesday I tried to make the bookings again and finally after speaking to my credit card/Mastercard people that the security alarm went off on my card 'cos I was making a big overseas transaction. It was a real headache and it was stressing me out!
Today at work I spent another hour on the phone and I still haven't got to the bottom of it.
Bottom line is: Di and I are going to New York in October!! Yahoo, it's been a long time coming.
The exchange rate isn't great but who knows what will happen between now and then.
Got the TV fixed-turned up to the guys shop about 5:30 and convinced the guy to help me take it home...went in his van and he and I carried it up the stairs into our apartment. Yeah!
Went to Volleyball and although our team defaulted due to lack of players I still had a game for almost two hours! I was knackered! Got home @ 10 went to bed after a shower.
I had work on Friday, but Di had the day off.
After work I went to The Rugby Club to watch the 'Canes lose and then came home.
Saturday had a bit of a sleep in and then a coffee. Di and I went to a BBQ with some Volleyball people in Kingsgrove. We stayed for a a few hours and had a nice time.
Came home a bit tired as it was quite a hot day- had some dinner and I went to the local pub to watch the Crusaders v Warratahs game- it was pretty exciting, the Crusaders won!
On Sunday we headed to Coogee again- got their about 11 ish and after 5 mins found a great park just across from the beach for free for 4 hours. It was really nice- I went for 1 swim.
Came home and took it easy.
