"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" I am starting to think Lewis Carroll wrote that with Australia in mind and he just wasn't sure what the official name were for the various things that bit and had claws. Early this past week Abby got attacked by a horde of ‘sea lice’. These feisty organisms are really nasty little worms that live in birds, and then jump ship to snails where they do the whole egg/larvae thing and then they look for another bird to invade. Sometimes, worm larvae not being so bright, they mistake a baby’s leg for a duck or seagull and bingo - you have sea lice. They don’t stay on you like lice in America - but ... read more

Since i saw a documentry on australia, when i was a "little vegemite" (lol) i wanted to go to Oz... i finally got my a** into gear and made it over...this is where it all begins.... on my flight from Bangkok to Sydney I met a few peeps on the plane... it was hillarious.

Yep, only 5 weeks to go till i leave work and head back to Yamba for Xmas. Before then there's so much to do. Most of this is boring stuff like collating my super and getting Hep B shots, however, there are other, more exciting, tasks such as: - writing the "Best Men's" speech for Santi and Andee's wedding; - organising the bucks party in Kaui; and - attending the Harry Potter Goblet of Fire Premiere! and probably cooking turkey for the Xmas dinner. Today we went and marched against Howard's IR reforms. That was fun. This evening netball was cancelled so Yvette, Ross, Jonathan and I went to dinner at the Nelson. We've decided that in the remaining few weeks we're going to do our very own Podcast. After discovering all the Harry Potter Podcasts ... read more
