Time out

December 13, 2010 by Jen

Houseboats near Mannum

It’s a Monday after a really good weekend. This Monday is bearable because I’ve got the day off work and at the moment I’m busy uploading some photos to Facebook and Flickr.

It’s silly season here as it is in most places. Everyone must have an end of year show right now so there’s lots of things happening. The Surfer had his work show on the weekend and it was really good. One of his colleagues has a houseboat business so he and I went to the houseboat for the day and night. Luckily my sister was able to look after JJ so we had some child-free time which was just great.

I haven’t met many of his colleagues before but it ended up being really good fun. Everyone was friendly and relaxed and we all had a good time. Eight of us ended up staying on the boat and it was luxury. It’s more modern than my house in its fittings, eg every bedroom had an ensuite. There were flat screen tvs in all the rooms and a bit plasma in the lounge. Upstairs was a bar and a spa. You could live on the boat quite easily. It even has solar panels to generate its own electricity.

It was pretty windy but we did go for a little cruise up the river.

In the photo per day tradition, I got someone to take a photo of me (below) and The Surfer.

We get on pretty well when we get away together which bodes well. In my last longer term relationship my boyfriend was pretty selfish and didn’t really consider my feelings or my opinions when trying to make decisions. I knew after that holiday that I should have called it quits but I didn’t and we lasted another three years or so. Live and learn ey?

Unfortunately we were only able to have one night but we made the most of it and must try to to it again.
