Its been a while since I updated…

So we moved to Manly and are getting set up in our new flat 5 minutes from the beach.

A bit of scavenging, some cheap deals and a lot of lugging heavy objects around resulted in us furnishing our whole flat – bed, 2 sofas, 2 TV’s, entire kitchen, tables, chairs, etc – for about $200…

8 phone calls later and we still dont have internet yet due to some serious uselessness on the part of our internet provider…ggggrrrr

Dont get me started on that but needless to say that having to go to check email and do uploading from an internet cafe is not much fun…

Been watching a lot of surfing as the swell has been pretty big in the last couple of weeks.

Bought a new surfboard and am gradually getting the basics whilest trying not to drown myself…

Work is slow but steadily picking up pace…

Flo is commuting in to the city by ferry for work in the CBD each day…early starts (5.30am) are harsh but she is back in Manly by 3.30pm and gets to enjoy the rest of the day.

Elsewhere, Banksy has made a movie… be keen to see that.

In the wider world, Sovereign debt seems to be giving everyone a kick in the nuts. More carnage of this nature is gonna spread particularly across Europe and, along with more bailouts (under different names) this seems likely to be the trend for the next year…

Looking forward to watching the Olympics, although Shaun White seems like a shoe in providing his head doesnt fall off again…

Hope they get it sorted cos El Nino is causing problems again, just like it did last time I was in Whistler….

Meanwhile, the weather here is sunny and hot, hot, hot, other than the occasional thunderstorm…and life is good.

Remembered to take my camera to the beach the other day so here are a few surf shots…definitely in need of a better zoom though to improve these…
