under de sea!

This update brought to you by Sebastian from the Little Mermaid. For no real reason.

Hello, Josh here, bringing you the latest missive from the conjoined minds behind Too Easy. Today we were supposed to be going to see the Neighbours set on a tour of Ramsay Street, home of the popular soap opera. We got up early and set off with our little hearts full of dreams of meeting "Dr" Karl Kennedy, but when we got to the designated meeting point we were placed in an emotional quandary. Apparently the tour was overbooked by one, and the person who was causing the overbooking was leaving Australia the next day so we were asked if we would mind going on another day to allow this poor wretch her one chance to realise her lifetime ambition of going to see Toadfish and the rest of the gang. Faced with such a tough choice we did the only thing we could really do, which was laugh heartily in the face of the booking staff and tell them to send her packing. Not really, dear readers; we said yes, and left the premises with tickets to go tomorrow instead and some (frankly desultory) merchandising bribes in our bags.

Left with the prospect of a potentially endless chasm of day to fill we went and sated our hunger for international cuisine with a hastily scoffed Nandos chicken meal before heading off cheerily to the local aquarium which (for those of you unschooled in its wonders) is a tiptop fish hostel in the middle of town. They have a fantastic array of undersea dwellers (Hi, Sebastian!) who are all a great deal more active than the apathetic denizens of the zoo down the road. Particularly outstanding were the penguins and the rays:







We took a trip on a glassbottomed boat which was interesting although slightly marred by having to share a very small boat with the second coming of Veruca Salt and her intensely dense little brother, but we did come very close to touching some very large fish and the guide, Katarina, was informative. We also got to hold a ray's tooth which is just a giant grinding flat molar. Well, I was impressed anyway.

We left after that and headed home for baked eggs and pasta sauce, a new delicacy which we have been forced to create due to the continuing nonarrival of our replacement hob, and now we sit updating the internet with our news and photos of the day.

What have you guys been up to anyway? Let us know.

Peace, love, empathy,

J.
