Long weekend at Mystery Bay

On saturday we met Ali at Penrith Railway station and drove to Mystery Bay via Hume Highway and Kangaroo Valley. Bit of a long way but great to have Al with us. Lunched at Ulladulla and arrived at Mystery Bay in time to open the paint tins and start work!

Ali cooked great pizzas for tea, served at our ritzy dining table.

Wasnt all work though, a tour of Narooma (including Mitre 10) on sunday morning and after lunch a walk out the back "gate" and through Eurobodall Nat park to pooles Beach and then back along the bays to Mystery Bay - tide was uppish and had to clamber over a couple of rocks to get back on to MB beach- startled a couple of tourists talking photos who thought we had come out of the sea!
I went back to work (installing a new laundry tub ) and Jenny and Al took the 5 minute drive to Central Tilba. They came back with a token rocky road to cover the ice creams they had.

Monday morning Jenny and Ali went to the carpet joint and brought back the usual samples and I finished rolling the bedrooms and hall. Ali and Jen finsihed most of the trimming. Also found time to get round the outside with the water blaster and stir up some spiders etc and then sprayed. Headed off for Sydney at 2pm with a stop at Batemans Bay to order a new sliding door. Long drive up the coast but had a great chines meal at Hurstville (we were the only non chinese in the restaurant).Ali then caught the train home and we headed west and home.

Well, thats weekend number 3 and perhaps we are starting to get somewhere. Last two weekends we had the TV with us for the Olympic games but couldnt get the aerial to work-looks like the previous owner took the power supply for the masthead amplifier!
