What a wet weekend! Who needs to leave Vancouver for this!? Dark, grey skies and wet, wet, wet!! So much for our plans of Bondi and barbies for the weekend.
Another Canadian family (living in Melbourne) Jeremy and Christine Stone, and their kids Jonathan (4), and Sydney (almost 2) from Barrie Ontario, came for a sleepover. Shortly after their arrival we also had a surprise visit from Al, Teresa, Maya and Tristan. It appears that everyone has been rained out. The house was busy with 6 adults and 6 kids. What a party! Everyone enjoyed the company and conversation - a chance to speak with someone other than their own family member! What a treat, eh! ;-)
The next morning, we all debated what to do on a rainy day. Indoor Pool?? Ferry ride to the city from Parramatta?? In the end, everyone decided to head home but not first without some drama. Jeremy couldn't start the car!! What to do? What to do? It was going to cost $300 for someone to come by to check it out as they were not a NRMA (similar to BCAA) member. It didn't seem like the battery and sounded more like the starter. After an hour or so, the boys went to pick up some jumper cables and got the car running.
The best of luck to the Stones for their 12 hour journey home!!
