ANZAC Weekend

So our weekend started out with shopping again... We bought a new printer and the INTERNET yay! So we went with Bigpond, and spent most of the morning trying to get it set up. We had it installed, on and connected but... we couldnt access the net on it for some reason. After many many many minutes of Ben cracking it majorly, I found and gave him the technical support number to call. So he got on the phone to someone who told him he needs to activate it and gave him another number to call to get it activated. About half an hour later we had it activated and he was ecstatic because he finally got it working and he set up his first internet connection. We then went down the street to do a little grocery shopping and got Subway for lunch. AS we ordered our chicken fillet six inch and footlong sandwhiches we got to the cheese and we asked for tasty. She went to put chedder on our bread and we said "umm, could we have tasty cheese please not chedder" (whilst pointing to the orange cheese) and she looked at us and said I have never heard of it called that, we looked at each other then back to her and asked her what they called it- she said "Old english cheese". Well there's something different to Vic along with the bus zone and ticket system.

After a long saturday, going from phone call to phone call setting everything up, we decided we would have a quiet night in watching movies AND an early night for the ANZAC day march in rockingham sunday morning.

So sunday morning I went down to the street the march off was in and met up with benny and his group, we stood around talking for a while until he had to fall in. I then walked up to the end of the street as they organised themselves. As I stood on a corner waiting for the march to start, I got involved in a conversation with a little old lady, her daughter (a pre-school teacher) and her daughter-in-law. The lady's husband was in the march with her father and her young grandaughter (Lulu). She was originally from NSW and moved here when her daughter was 10 (which was about 15 years ago). They were so nice and welcoming. After all of the groups marched passed I headed over to the oval where the speeches were being held.

Ben before he had to fall in.

The guy in the Yellow Jacket (his group) is the family of the old lady I was standing with

There were so many different groups in the march I decided to just put up certain ones instead of having all these photos.

After the ANZAC service was finished Ben and I got some subway for lunch then headed back to the hotel, where ben spent almost 2 hours with Bigpond technical support trying to fix our net AGAIN... they endeed up having to put him through to some American guy. BUT it is all fixed now and our net is finally fully working YAY!!!.

We were going to go to the movies and see clash of the titans that night but instead we stayed in and went to bed early, after calling mum seeing what was wrong and having a good old laugh. We are so worried about her, but we love her and know that she will get through it. We actually ended up playing Heroes of might and magic before actually going to bed haha.

Monday morning came with Bacon and Egg toasted sandwhiches in bed ( I made them of course and Ben had them in bed...I joined hehe). He left an hour or so after to go for duty and when he got back we hired some Blockbuster movies. We then sat and watched 'Green Street Hooligans' it was quite a good movie. Has alot of action in it and is a little sad at the end.... But there is a sequal so I am going to watch that tomorrow as ben had to leave to go back to base.

So now I'm on my own again and there is only 4 days or 3 and a bit days until we are finally in our house YAY!!! It will be so good, we will have all of our stuff and Ben will be able to stay home. I'M LOVING IT!!!!
