Well I've touched down in Sydney, and was greeted warmly at the airport, by Angela, who I used to work with.
The flight was good, Emirates have really good in flight movies, I got to watch "Hotel Rawanda", which was a pretty moving story set in the genocide of Rawanda. Interesting movie for someone setting off to save the world! Leaving my home, I feel somewhat more connected with the wider world.
Yesterday was Angela's flatmate's (Anne-Marie) birthday, and afew people came over. So within a couple of hours of arriving I was already drink in hand, having quite a good time being hit on by one on Anne-Marie's friends! I was some-what worried about being abused by the hospitallity!
This morning I got up, with jeans on but no top, and was talking on the phone outside, when the front door slams behind me! Now I knew that the back door was open, but these are terrace houses, so there aren't any gaps between the houses. So my only option was to make like a monkey and (half-naked) scramble across the roof!

Hi Michael,
Good to see the site and your comments.
At least you had good sense to have jeans on
Travel Lesson 1 - always take a key when going out the front door.
