Our Easter "Staycation"

We had a chance to get away up to Jurien Bay with Marc and Claire and some others but weren't really up for it, so stayed around Perth with the other 10% people left and had a good 4 day "staycation".....my favourite new word as we "stayed around for our vacation"! I know, either very cool or a total loser, I'll let you decide?!?

We actually got out on a few local trips, biking around John Forest national park and down at the beaches on the boards. Although we didn't end up diving which was a shame, mostly because I wanted to test out my new underwater housing. After years of looking for a housing for my Lumix FZ7 I found out about the ewa-marine housings, which are basically heavy duty plastic bags with a screw seal and fixed glass port. So with some birthday money (thanks Mum and David) I decided to go for it and got one ready to try out this weekend. So with no diving in sight I resorted to throwing myself into the surf with it to test out the waterproof abilities and "fingers crossed" not ruin my camera! All good news and even though the viz was terrible (obviously in the surf zone at the beach) I was able to prove it didn't leak and took some interesting photos of the brighton beach seaweed.

The house all still a go as the seller got her finance approved, so just waiting on our finance now which we expect to get in the next week or so! Janice already on her 10th kitchen design, so will be interesting to see what we end up with....
