Our first week in Perth

It's been a lovely first week. We have really enjoyed living where we do as it really is so central.
Through the week, we took the boat trailer's lights over to O'Connor to be repaired-I was more excited in the butcher/fish/game shop over the road and came home with a bag of duck marylands, quail and king prawns.
Thursday Russ cooked dinner for all of us over at BL&T's. He made really nice crab stuffed chicken breasts that he wrapped in prosicutto and served with hollondaise sauce over. Yum.
Friday night we came over for drinks with Chris and Carly (both formerly from Warrnambool) and Russ cooked us a few barbied sausages, chops and a lovely fresh coleslaw.
Saturday Russ and I visited a couple of church fetes and bought ourselves a vaccuum cleaner ($25) a lot of books, pickles, jams and chutnies, and a 20c wine glass. Leah had planned a "girls night in and pool party" but the weather was a bit against us swimming. We still sat outside though and had a really fun night w2hile the "boys" went around to Luke's (Luke is from Portland) and played poker. The girls were still partying when they got home from their poker game! Lucky Russ and I have a caravan in the yard for sleepovers!
Sunday we had a leisurely breakfast, then headed to Subiaco markets to get our fruit and veg for the week (or most of it). It's so cheap and only about a 10 minute walk from the flat. We also grabbed a few pots, some potting mix and herbs to grow while we are in the flat-Russ planted them this morning.
The flat is really quite comfortable and even better now we have bedside lights and a vaccuum cleaner.
