Sunday, Monday Happy Days!

We all had a bit of a lie in today, except for Kelly who went for her usual Sunday morning walk, she is so dedicated! We headed for 'The Spit', which is a long pier at the beach, where the boys could fish. Off they set down to the end while Kelly and I found a nice spot on the beach. We had a lovely lazy afternoon, reading, chatting and even snoozing on the beach! The boys were fishing for a couple of hours, but again, only managed to catch one fish! I don't think they're cut out for this fishing malarchy!
We all headed back and showered ready for dinner. As we were all getting ready Ben gave me a present, an anniversary gift of gorgeous earrings! He gave me the pressie a day early so I could wear them out to dinner! Tomorrow we will have been together for ten years! They are beautiful! Nick and his girlfriend Steph met us at "Outback Jacks". Ben had found an online voucher for us all to have a free starter, and then we both had a big lump of steak! After a lovely meal we headed home, via McDonalds for a soft serve of course!
On Monday I got up nice and early to Skype with Mum. We had set the time a few days ago, so there I was at 8am (10pm her time) waiting with the computer. After ten mins I decided she had probably forgotten, so I text her and Emma. But then I realised that she probably wouldn't have her phone with her, and Emma's phone has terrible reception, so I sent a message to the house phone, where a nice robot lady reads it out to them! Got a text back saying they were just getting online! Was greeted by Mum, Dad and Emma, and told that Mum had forgotten! It's nice to feel so loved, haha, only joking Mum, we know how crap your memory is, I half expected it anyway!!! Had a great catch up with them, it was so nice to speak to them and catch up properly! I love modern technology!
Ben and I had decided to go to 'Warner Brothers Movie World" for a day of fun! We had a great time, and got our passes to return as many times as we like, and also for access to SeaWorld and Whit Water World!!! Gunther got us there ok, all be it with a lot of smoke! When we arrived, we decided to go straight for the Superman rollercoaster, which we queued for a little bit for. I wasn't sure what to expect as we hadn't really looked at it before we got in the queue! It was fantastic! It goes from 0-100km p/h in 2 seconds, even Ben made a funny noise when that happened! I found it difficult to get out at the end of the ride as I was in such shock, I was a bit like you Mum when you went on Space Mountain at DisneyLand! We had a great day enjoying the rides and hanging out together! Gunther got us back home again, however, we are now thinking we either need to sell him and get a different van, or invest some money into him, with the hope of being able to sell him for more than we bought if he's in working order. We both feel that we need a reliable van if we are going to do any distance, and at the moment, we don't feel particularly confident when we start a journey that we will finish it!
Ben and I went out for the evening, we went to the cinema and as an anniversary treat we went 'Gold Class'! You get to go in a posh lounge before the showing, the cinema only seats about 24 people and the chairs are massive armchairs, lazyboy style, with a little table for any food that you order! We got complimentary popcorn and a drink (they don't do sweet popcorn here, shame), and we ordered a trio of dips platter, which gets bought to you about twenty mins into the movie! It was brilliant! I completely felt like we were at home, not in a cinema at all! The film we watch was called Red, and neither of us really knew what the film was about, so we were both pleasantly surprised! It was a great movie for guys and gals, we both really enjoyed it!
