Day Two Hundred and Eighty Eight

The weekend

We got up and went to Newtown to collect the keys for the new flat. After a bit of a mix up we finally got hold of our keys. After a quick visit to Caroline to drop off our Sydney Swan passes (we are not going to the first game of the season tonight at Homebush so someone else had them) we finally went to our new flat.

It was good to get in there and get a real feel for the place and start planning how we'll fit our stuff in there.

We came back to Glebe and spent time sorting out stuff in preparation for the move. I also spent a painful 15 minutes on the phone Foxtel (UK equivalent is Sky TV) trying to organise the transfer to the new flat, the numpty at the call centre clearly didn't understand the basic concept of reading a calender.

In the evening we went for dinner at Wolfies with Bill and Carol. It was good to be in the city during Earth Hour and we saw the lights go off on the Opera House and Bridge.

Was quite funny to see them launch 20 mins of fireworks after, probably un-offsetting the carbon saved by turning the lights out.

We all came back to Glebe and watched the recorded game of Swans playing St Kilda.
