Well yesterday was a surreal day.
It started quite normally when I went up to Jo and John's and a few of us had a nice Australia Day barbecue lunch. This was the only barbecue I attended yesterday but it's a legal requirement that you spend at least an hour standing round a barbie on Australia Day eating sausages.
In the afternoon I went out on Liz and Frank's sail boat. It was very nice, having a bit of a sail round the Swan River. Mind you with five of us on board it was a bit cosy. I've never sat on so many ropes at the wrong time in one place before. Now I thought that swanning around on a sail boat was pretty flash but the day was about to get very surreal.
You see Lizzie's sister was in the marina on her boat.
Or maybe I should say yacht.
Actually I think the most apt description would be huge, luxury, powerful super-yacht.
I mean it had three stories, two barbecues, crew quarters, three bedrooms, three en-suites, suede walls, Bose stereo. I mean it was just spectacular. Even the boat they use to get to the boat was impressive. I have to say I never thought I'd set foot on anything like it and I am so grateful that we were made so welcome. Lovely people. And I'm not just saying that because they are so obviously loaded. If you want to look at a boat like it I think it's this one.
I wonder if there's an oil deposit under the backyard.
