Day 48 - A Late Valentines Day

Many people that know me, would know that my favourite flowers are gerberas. As Dale doesn't usually 'do' flowers, I was very surprised to see him hop out of the car after his trip to Melbourne today with a big bunch of gorgeous, multicoloured gerberas for me in his hand. Due to a lack of organisation (as Dale put it) we were in agreeance when we decided to delay Valentines Day until Friday. This meant that we were able to enjoy a great dinner (at home) with some great wine influenced by Dale's dinner in Sydney last week. In other news, Dale's trip to Melbourne led to a deposit on a car for him... so a successful day in all!

Day 35 - Car Shopping

So with the boat sold in the morning, the afternoon was left open for a bit of car shopping for Dale. With a bit of an idea of the car he wanted, we went and looked at two; one in Thornleigh and the other in Leichhardt. I enjoyed the drive from Thornleigh to Leichhardt, as we came into the city the opposite way that I am used to. Driving over the Harbour, we saw the Diamond Princess docked and waiting. I don't think I have ever actually seen such a huge ocean liner like that - absolutely huge, but I wasn't ready with my camera! I did take a bunch of interesting shots, however crossing the Anzac Bridge and this is one of them. Although we did not drive away with a new car, Dale did get a better idea of which car he wants and Henry had a great afternoon playing with Nanna and Opa at home!

Day 30 - Black Beauty

Now that we have decided to sell the boat, we don't really need me to have such a big car anymore and so in not too long, our Commodore will be finding a new home. Today I picked up my new car after dinner! We went and had a look at this Mazda 3 on Sunday afternoon and I really did love it straight away. This is actually my 4th Mazda and second black one, having had a 121, 323 and MX5 previously. Now I just have to get used to driving a manual again... it is a good reason to get excited about driving to work tomorrow though!
