Mundane Monday

Well Katie is texting me each day telling me what she is up to.

Sunday they went on a sightseeing tour and visited the Sydney Opera House. She said it was awesome. Then they headed to Taronga Zoo for the afternoon which she really enjoyed. Her friend Rosemary met up with her there and walked around the zoo with Katie and the others in her small group. Rosemary is a very good school friend of Katie's who shifted to live in Australia at the end of last year and Katie misses her terribly. It was so nice of her to make the effort to meet up with her.

This morning they were up very early packing up their gear for they shift to stay at Mercy College in Chatswood for the next 7 nights. Katie said she managed to get a very very quick shower. That is the thing she will be missing the most on this trip!

They bussed to Monte St Angelo College for the day for Mercy Day celebrations until 9pm tonight. Then off to Mercy College to unpack, set up their beds and sleep!

Tomorrow is the opening day of the World Youth Day calendar, with a mass and lots of celebratory festivities.

Today I am doing invoicing for the business and is one of those jobs I put off then it gets to the stage where it has to be done and I jam it all into one day. Such is life when you own and business, run a household and work part time!

Toby is at work with Al today. Al is building a Mazda RX7 Batman rally car for a customer from scratch (well he started with the street car body and then gutted it and has put a roll cage in etc) and Toby is right in the thick of it helping. Along with the building of a Mazda RX8 circuit car for another customer out of 2 damaged bodies he bought. Whatever spins your wheels, (pardon the pun) but is a very exciting part of our business which Al really enjoys.

Katie just texted to say it is really hot there today, sunny and 21 degrees and they are stuck in school uniform, but thankfully this is the only other day they have to wear it in an official capacity.
