[Katie Voiceover] Our island life is certainly beautiful but a day in the life of us reveals some challenges
[Katie Voiceover] Some days from the moment you wake up things do not go to plan. [Jase] We have just pumped our entire tank dry.
[Katie Voiceover] If you can turn it around it forces you to appreciate the little things.
[Katie Voiceover] Tt's often the weird, strange, unexpected encounters that make life interesting anyway right?
Good morning.
We are starting the day with no water.
We're a bit late we're having a coffee. Which we had water in the jug thank goodness and we're
going to have pancakes. I've just made the batter. We're going to have pancakes it's a good day!!
Even if everyone's grumpy the house is a mess because Mirri's been away. [Jase] I'm not grumpy. [Katie] And there's no water.
[Filly] Are pancakes ready? [Katie] Not yet my love.
[Katie] Oh and that didn't work. Yogurts not set.
So sometimes you can re boil some water and set it.
Oh darling I didn't have time to make you coconut yogurt. I've just made Arlo some dairy yogurt.
I've just tripped to the power circuit.
[Katie] It's because i'm trying to use too many things.
First round done.
[Katie] First round of pancakes now we've got berries we've got peanut butter.
The rainy day.
Yum Yum Yum Yum
[Jase] Something's gone wrong with the water we need to climb underneath the house and try and figure
out what's going on. Because you can't get children ready for the day without water.
[Jase] We had an issue with a pump a little while ago
and someone installed a new pump here unfortunately
they made a very silly mistake and didn't use a pressure rated join. So we
have just pumped our entire tank dry. Which is not good because we don't have very much water
So everything is just a bit of a disaster and the table...
I'm just trying to get back through the door. [Jase] Okay the water is back on we have switched out those
fittings for pressure rated fittings so that's all sorted. There's water the house so we can
get all the washing done and get things tidied up. I'm actually heading up now because we have
guests in-house. I'm making sure that they're off on their activities this morning and checking out
the other staff and just making sure that they've got everything they need to do their jobs. And
yeah then we're gonna crack on the day. [Katie] Not right now darling and this is all a massive mess. I hate mess
[Jill] Okay nanny will not run out of sunscreen today. [Katie] Bye guys have fun at the beach.
[Katie] We'll see you later good luck Nanny.
Okay we're going diving and i'm trying to carry all the things all the cameras,
all the gear. Jase has gone up top to find some lights. And i think we're going to be
diving elbow point which is a really beautiful hard coral point on the other side of the island.
And a place where you can sometimes see really cool things out in the blue so.
It's a pretty manic day so far just getting everything done and out the door and we're
already really late for this dive. But the fact that we're making it happen
is a win. All right this is Dave, say hi Dave, [Dave] Hi. [Katie] All right char chara or elbow scissor paper rock.
[Jase] No we'll do our elbow because we always do Charra. We've done this a million times let's go
to elbow. Have you guys ever seen elbow?? Have we taken you there?? okay let's go.
[Jase] There you go. [Katie] Oh yeah.
[Katie] not bad. [Jase] No it was a nice dive. [Katie] We should do it more.
[Jill] Have you got a crab? [Arlo] A long Tom one.
[Jill] Who's that who's the video man today? [Filly] Arlo. [Jill] Is it Arlo?
[Arlo] Filly swim underneath the water. I want to take a video of you swimming.
[Jill] Are you ready you swim to Arlo ready set go.
[Arlo] Yay!!!
[Jill] Can you see us? [Filly] Yep.
[Jill] Can you see both of us? [Filly Yep.
{Jill] Okay ready set go. Okay put it under the water.
[Filly] Yay!!
[Jill] Are you planting a mangrove?
[Jill] Are you having a snack?
[Jill] What have you got for a snack? Let's have a look.
[Katie] Big morning at the beach, time for some lunch.
Scraping the avo off for some reason. We've got a beautiful, we've actually got resort lunch today.
Poucha salad, little mini bread rolls and some veggie patties looks good.
It's rest time
We're reading some books.
[Arlo] Can I do this on my head?
[Arlo] Yogurt... It's perfect. [Katie] Is it good? [Arlo] Yeah.
[Katie] We are going fishing this afternoon. Whoa. We haven't been out in the boat fishing
together in ages. But because we went diving this morning we don't really want to go spearfishing
today because then we would be leaving the kids with someone else again. So we're going
to take the kids with us. We're going to pack their dinner into their yum boxes they'll have dinner on
the boat and we'll hopefully get some fish on dusk. And because the resort desperately needs
fish to be serving our clients. [Katie] And there's squid, I wonder if you can see them?
[Katie] Let us know in the comments can you see the squid? Arlo's like, I want to eat squid.
[Katie] You can't see them? Oh they're just swimming under the tree over there look at all the little bait fish to.
So much happening right here.
[Arlo] Daddy can I drive? [Jase] Yeah you've just got to put your life jacket on.
[Jase] Bye Joe.
[Katie] Poor Arlo's feeling sea sick.
[Filly] I..... Hear... One..... Fish coming.
[Filly] In other news, Filly can hear one fish coming.
[Katie] Are you feeling better mate? [Arlo] I ate one piece of Vegemite toast.
[Katie] Does that feel good?
[Arlo] Yeah.
Well we're back on dry land. Arlo's feeling a lot better. He's having his dinner on the jetty.
Well we're kind of not on land we're on the jetty. So no fish, not exactly the most successful day. Didn't go
to plan whatsoever but i guess that is the reality of living this kind of life or any life
really. Because things often don't go the way you think. But pretty much from the moment we woke up
and the water was off things have been a bit funny today. [Jase] It's been a funny day.
But hopefully hopefully the guests out there got some fish because
they actually went fishing. [Jase] And any day you can end sitting at water level with the view like that...
[Jase] Can't be too bad a day really can it? [Katie] Still a good day.
i'll help you out
oh no it's a flatty bomb buddy
someone delivered some chippies and some beer which is a pretty nice way to finish the day
