Hi all,

It's 3/4 time in the resort versus the schoolkids and the resort is well ahead.
Today we started off down in the kitchen at 700 with the continental breakfast being laid out and the lunches being prepared. Everything went off reasonably smootly and one of the teachers wrote a lovely page in the guest book praising the staff for their friendliness and the quality of the food and accomodation. We thought it was a bit over the top. Maybe they were feeling guilty about the window!

After doing the poolman thing I was off until 1130 when Jimmy and I vacuumed and mopped all the rooms used last night. It was a pretty big effort by the girls to clean and make up the beds albeit with only a bottom sheet. The laundry was bulging at the seams by the time the towels were factored in.

Susan organised a team lunch out in the sun on the deck which everyone enjoyed. Then it was back to task until Ilan appeared from his office. "Simon".... I knew in my mind what it was yes the transport arrangement to pick up 2 helpers tomorrow had gone amiss and i was off to Hobart to pick up WeiTing. I arrived at the airport and stood chatting to her while we waited for what seemed like an eternity for the baggage. We then performed the obligatory visit to K & D Mitre 10 for infra red globes, mouse bait and insulating tape before heading on to Sorell for fuel and Maccas coffee for the driver.
The rest of the trip was uneventful and we arrived after 6:30 just in time for the fimal sitting of dinner.

Dinner had been executed smoothly with Susan directing traffic and all that was left was a tidy up and setting up the non perishables for breakfast. Apparently group 2 were much better behaved after hearing the tales of the minor mayhem of group 1!

Susan and I adjourned to the spa before bed. I think we were the only people in the water today. That's the way I like it! I won't have to vacuum the pool tomorrow.

The local paper had information that 9 census collectors are required on the peninsula. We could do the census collection here. It would save a long drive to the NT. We will think about that one. I have also bought a secong hand dual band phone on Ebay so hopefully our Optus numbers will be on the air shortly!!

Cheers Simon
