Do you have any experience fitting air con?

I'm still in Manly and will definitely be staying here til January cos the place is just perfect!

The job is going well, it is remarkably easy to fit an air conditioning system....which is lucky cos I said I had experience with wiring! The last house I worked in was right on Palm Beach aka 'Summer Bay' and had a massive balcony overlooking the beach.....must have cost a fortune!

The other day I walked from Manly Beach to Curl Curl Beach (passing through Queenscliff and Freshwater Beaches) with an Irish guy I met called Conor. Walking across the rocks there are literally hundreds of crabs sitting around getting the sun. Luckily they run off when you step onto a rock and don't claw you to death cos there are some really big ones......

The Great British rugby team were staying down the road from us in Manly (they beat Australia in the rugby the other day!), so we saw them running on the beach a few times.

Anyway, cos I've been working the days and surfing the afternoons I haven't really done anything else particularly exciting. Just enjoying the place, people and surf! Here are some random pictures!
