Just browsing the new blogs and came across one from home. Loved your picture comments and twas a great blog overall. I just had to leave a comment after your second last line...bought a smile to my face as I know the feeling. Hope you are enjoying Oz!
Greetings Have now got four days before i go away-i think shitting bricks is a fair assessment of how i feel and also totally under prepared.
Souds like your havin a good one.
When do you get into NEw Zealand? any details yet?
You are loved :-) Alloha Monsieur Mattatour, Photos are fab, strange to think its really hot somewhere - its blowing a gale here! I'm following my dear sisters example and caught up on The Tour whilst off work ill! Also been watching Neighbours and Toady was in Sydney - just like you :-) Posted another comment earlier in wk but its still being moderated I think... Glad to hear to are staying safe - nice reassuring comment in there, to stop your mum worrying as you appear to be hurling yourself from high rocks elsewhere! Keep up the good work with the blogging and photos :-)
lots of love, Cx
G'day mate Nice to hear that you are spreading your wings by making friends from all over the UK. Almost soretd out the final details of my Peru expedition, so will be in touch with final dates/action plans nearer the time for our much anticipated beer in Peru. Hope the suntan is now off the 'critical' list
Im reading them....
Hello nuffty...sorry Mattador..having just returned to the land of internet I am now able to read your blogs. (New house only just got connected today) I have read all of them in a row and feel like I could almost be there with you! V. pleased to hear that it is all going well. I am def jealous as I currently have Tonsillitis which I probably got from one of the many diseased sprogs that I look after and am off work at home + very bored. Thank you for cheering me up with your banter...look after yourself ...keep making many friends + wear some more sun cream!
Loads of love your ill cousin Babs x
Yo,
How's it going? It sounds like you're having an annoyingly good time. Must admit I'm a triffle baffled at all these rich people who;
a) Acknowledge your presence
b) Bother to talk to you
c) Want to buy you drinks and food.
Disgusted as I am, I'm glad things are going well, and your making the most of your time by not getting pissed every night and feeling awful in the days!
Bon voyage,
Madge
P.S. Just about to watch the Battle of Helms Deep on the uber-hugeness that is my television. It's going to be epic.
Australia has no ozone layer Sounds like you're having a suitable gap year laff, which pleases me. Good to see your experiencing lots of local culture and making friends. Scotland is a different country after all. Bit more detail in the old blog though please chum. I have no idea when your cleaning your teeth and if at any point your laces have come untied. I jest because I have exams and very little to look forward to until retirement.
Have fun (but stay safe),
Jazzy Jazzford.
The Matt Glad you've made friends Matt, sorry to hear they're girls, hopefully one of them fancies you and then you hit on the other one so that neither of them ever talk to you again.
I went to the last game at Lansdowne road (Ulster vs Leinster) and then spent New Years in Dublin with Sam, his fiance and all her actress buddies. It was awesome, you would have had a heart attack
Real live friends?! Wowzer aren't u just a busy boy- what a lot of adventures... and with other people!
Shame about the critical sunburn but I'm sure that wil fade soon and turn a golden brown; I'm so jealous!!
Embarrassingly impressed with your 'mattatour' name, ur still a massive geekk i'm pleased to see.
Send more pics soon, i loved the last lot (so did Jon Moore). Btw put ur face in with the bridge etc otherwise we will never believe ur actually there!
Take care and keep up the good blog work xxx
Oh dear! Its not the best start to your big adventure but I'm sure things will pick up from here. If the small scratch on your arm is all u have to prove how masculine you, are i recomend you hack a bit off yourself.
Good luck next tue!xxx
I have only been outside Europe once. I can barely get through a day without forgetting at least two or three important things. I have no idea what I'm doing and may not have been properly immunised.
