So since our return to sunny Perth, we have been mostly playing in the pool!
There have been other things happening around that but mostly, we have had a gaig playing in the pool. We have mostly been playing D.O.N.K.E.Y. and Extreme lilo jumping competitions.
Other adventures have included the Aussie type Christmas events…which is strange…so weird to be here for Christmas, its roasting hot, not that many people have there trees up and there isn’t the consistent playing of Christmas songs in every store you walk into…this you may think is a good thing…but it’s amazing what you miss! They don’t go all frantic, late night shopping and mad dives to get all your presents, most people are going away on their holidays…madness! Brian doesn’t miss our version of Christmad in the slightest, me on the other hand, I’m knitting a scarf just in case…ye never know?!
One of the ways to celebrate Christmas here is with Carols by Candlelight, which is an outdoors carol service in the park. We thought that was nice. Me and Derek (Bri’s bro) had a gaig though…it was disco biscuits version of Carol’s in the Park…much more exciting, and hugely entertaining…we thought!
There was a Christmas get together party at Brian's cousin David's and his Wife Juliannes, cause they go away for Christmas so they have a big party before they go. It was brilliant to see all of Brian's family here, bar Sue and her kids from Kalgoorlie, but it was a great gathering and lots of fun!
Brian’s cousin Andrew and his wife Adele are class…the soundest you can meet! They took us out the other night to the casino in Perth…my opinion of casino’s has been somewhat altered! I had a ball.
First the food was an all you can eat buffet and we certainly gave them a run for their money…. chocolate fountain….Mmmmmm.
I hadn’t a clue what to play, but Brian and Andrew had settled into the Money Wheel so I thought I’d give that a go! The money was running from my fingers like water and then just when I was about to take a huff…Jackpot!!! $120 get in there! I was addicted! Can’t wait to go back!
Adele and Andrew were great company, we had a fantastic night.
As previously mentioned all other times have been spent playing in the pool so
Brian & Niamh
Always knew he needed a dummy....that should fill in any blanks! We have been playing…oh and one day Derek came up to play too and that was Extreme Lilo Fun!
Just getting ready for Christmas and the Christening and we’ll give you all a wee update then!
Have a very Merry Christmas…hop up warm and enjoy it! It’s gonna be 38degrees here on Christmas Day! Throw another shrimp on the Barbie Brian!
Love and Hugs
Lou and Brian!

Hi Lou It's so good to hear from you and to know you are Brian are safe and well. It's sounds like you are having so much fun!!! I'm totally with Brian, not missing our version of Christmas. It's bitterly cold, the shops are crazy and I've already ate too much turkey and it's not even Christmas yet!!!! You are both looking great and seem to be getting a fab tan, BITCH!! Missing you terribly, keep knitting your scarves as you will need it by the time you come home. Enjoy all that Perth has to offer, can't wait to get caught up when you get home Lots of love and festive cheer Clare xx
