Things To Do On A Rainy Saturday

My favourite part of the week would have to be the weekend - for obvious reasons, of course.  After a long, hard slog at work during the week, the weekend is full of promise, potential, and great excitement.  My favourite day of the weekend is Saturday, because when it is over, you know there's still one more day of the weekend - so you don't have to stress just yet - unlike when you go to bed on Sunday, knowing that's it, there's no more - and the dreaded Monday blues set in.  I hate watching the sun set on a Sunday for that very reason.

But Saturday, well that's the best day of all.  Unless, like me, you wake up in the morning to the sound of heavy rain falling.  The rain in Australia is nothing like that in England - in England, you get a light drizzle for most of the time - but in Australia, there's no such thing as light rain - if it rains, you know it.  You will be drenched in an instant in Australian rain.

So imagine my sense of disappointment to wake up to the sound of that.  And knowing that two little boys and their sister will be coming round, because their parents have only a week to pack up their house due to some silliness with the contract (they sold their house but for some reason the contract is a very fast one, and they have to be out by Thursday).  What do you do with two little boys when its raining on a Saturday, and they've seen all the movies there are for kids at the cinema?

There's only so much walking around a shopping centre that little boys will do.  Even with the promise of McDonalds and a cold rock ice-cream - there's still only a finite amount of time you can spend there.  So then it came to me - I have in my possession one of the most powerful tools of creativity and entertainment - yes, I am speaking of my beloved mac.

So, so easy - out it comes, photo booth is opened up, and voila!  Instant entertainment as we create our masterpiece... Add Lach's current favourite song... a bit of a title (content selected by the boys) and there you have it... Shame it only takes minutes to create, but that's the joy of the mac for you!  Anyway, here it is, our rainy day entertainment...enjoy...
