Work,Weather,Waves,4 YEARS

Great weather continues.We had a little hiccup with a little bad weather a couple of weeks ago and it rained yesterday.Spring is here with the birds chirping and are happy about it just like us.Plenty happening on the work front with the renovation of the garage keeping me very busy,and also plenty on offer in the workshop with Jez too.I took last week off to get a full weeks work done here and was really productive until i discovered the woodborers in the roof of the garage-bummer!-so i pulled down the entire ceiling that i had installed a couple of weeks ago so i could treat the little buggers!luckily they were only in a couple of rafters and had gone too far in the main beams.They are a huge problem in this part of the world, but also they have some good products to deal with them too- and lucky they werent termites,coz they are an even bigger problem.In between working my bum off , i have been also surfing and getting some excellent quailty waves.There were no waves for 3 weeks , but when it came on again , we have scored more amazing waves.It continually amazes me how good the waves are here and this winter has been -for someone who can sneak away midweek when the bulk of the surfing population are at work- great with more hours in the water than any other in the last 4 years since we arrived.YES --4 years already(nearly)Corinne is working part time which is good for her mental and physical state but not for our cashflow.Lola continues to rack up the excellent marks at school and is looking forward to seeing her aunty Kaye( and hopefully Barry too) in May and is devouring books(in french and in english) at a great rate.Thanks to the internet its easy to get english text books these days, and its very important, that without a good level of english lessons available at school , its something that we have to make a little more effort with buying lots of books.Even though we speak english at home she does need the extra input.One thing she hasnt lost is her typical aussie accent!
