Sun, Mon, Tues, Weds 17th

Bit of a blur these last 3 days, Sunday was another good day on the beach, the areas around Manly looked good, clean, big, family type houses and not really on the busy tourist rstauarants, pubs circuit, but have been told that it's rough there and populated by teenage mums and drug addicts, houses get robbed all the time.
Monday am, I used seek.com.au to apply for about 8 jobs, got 2 calls by 10am and hs been constant ever since! 2nd interview by phone from the states on Thurs 9am, 1st interview for another job Thurs pm, met agency guy on Wed who will put me forward for a great job based in the CBD (so ferry to work!) meeting another agency guy in coffee shop on Monday am, and have 2 agencies putting me forward for a 12mnth IBM contract $60/hour.
Went to the beach on tuesday (bondi), the waves weretoo big to go deeper than 10foot from the shore without getting sucked out to sea, but very hot so we all played on the sand.
Wed pm, I me with Jen and the boys at the maritime museum in the city and wandered around a 1959 battle ship, a class d submarine wth torpedos built in 1969, a repica ofHMS endeavour (Captain Cook's ship) and the museum inside, lots of boat stuff and a good surfing exhibit. Had agreat lunch at thatplace, boys ate well and i had a superb sirloin steak (about 9 quid).
Thursday morning now, and I'm getting ready for my telephone interview at 9am, i have to leave the house to take it in peace!

My birthday present arrived this morning, thank you all and especially Jenny who, I suspect, chose and ordered it!
What are the schools like in Manly? Isn't that where Yabbie Creek school is? Donald Fisher for headmaster? (OK, I'm 15 years out of date when it comes to Home & Away).
