It's now about time that I start talking about my coming trip to Buenos Aires. I will be leaving on the 9th March which is about 6 weeks away or maybe just 5 as february is always such a deceptively short month. Excited? Yes-ish.

I forget about him until he's in the ... read more

So the while gang is here now …. A bout of basically crap weather has turned us off the planned Blue Mountains trip so we decided to make a big day out in Sydney. The day started off Walk to the Rocks Market It is quite a fascinating experience to see all the tourist memorabilia your own country produces. It’s just such weird stuff! Sayhankor is determined to get some stuffed Australian Animals with the GREEN TAG as that means it’s made in Australia and not China but I kinda think that’s irrelevant, since stuffed animals are not indigenous to Australia anyway. However stuffed kangaroo balls are and I didn’t see anyone JUMP to buy one of those for their key ring.
