Friday night, I grabbed a couple of DVDs from the local Video Ezy shop after signing up for an account there. I was going to watch them Friday night, but Sienna was awake until late and wouldn’t settle unless she could watch one of her kiddy shows, so I watched them Saturday instead.
Saturday morning, I took the kids swimming again. They had a fantastic time as usual. Sienna was running around all morning saying "Swimming day! Swimming day!". After swimming I went to the barber and got a long overdue haircut. I should have had it done about three weeks before but I never get it cut until it’s really pissing me off. After that, we had some lunch and I watched Eulogy. It was okay. Nothing brilliant but a nice show to watch. When that ended I mowed the lawn and got the whipper snipper out onto it as well. Bec had been waiting for that for a couple of months but with rain and other family events it kept getting pushed back. By this stage, the cat could lie down in the grass and you could not see him hehe 
It was just one area like this. Most of the rest of the lawn was still short, but it all had to be mown anyway.
I finished the mowing and had a shower to get rid of my loose hair and grass clippings then sat down with an 800ml bottle of VB and watched The Anchorman. I have to say I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan. It was watchable. Barely. Take a peek if you have nothing else to watch, but it’s nothing you will really miss. Maybe if they showed some more of Christina Applegate’s skin it would have been worth it 
Same for Zooey Deschanel in Eulogy.

Saturday arvo not a lot happened. I mucked around on Second Life and the kids ran around the house.
Sunday morning, we headed to the markets. I was intending to buy a cheap digital watch but couldn’t make up my mind. We also wanted to get a bed lamp, but didn’t find any there to buy. I grabbed a crappy $1 coffee and we headed back home.
Around lunch time, Bec’s parents turned up and we had some snags and kebabs on the BBQ and Bec threw some salad together with some coleslaw for our lunch. Sienna thinks the fire in the BBQ is "COOL, Daddy!" so I might have to watch that one heh. We’ve taught her to imitate the girl on the lollies advertisement on TV and say "Chop it, daddy!". Very cute. (In the ad, the father is cutting each lolly in half and giving one to his daughter and having the other half himself. He pulls out a dinosaur lolly and she tells him ‘Don’t chop the dinosaur, daddy!!!’ so he puts the whole thing in his mouth and she has this astounded look on her face. The next time they come across a dinosaur, she says "Chop it!").
We had a nice lunch catching up and the kids were very excited to see their grandparents. After they left, we all had a rest. Sienna by this time was way beyond tired. She had cried in the car on the way back from the markets as she was that tired, but got a second wind when nana and nunu arrived. I gave her my mobile phone with the Wiggles music on it and she was happier in the car singing along with "Toot toot!".
