Our 23 days cat sitting is about to end and time has flown by so quickly. We haved kitted out Mattie and purchased bikes so now keen to try our hand at free camping after we have visited friends in Towoomba. Mattie has sign writing on the back now as per photo and we have already received a toot from a fellow kiwi. Weather is still lovely with no rain and am not missing those heavy frosts that we had in Rotorua. Shopping malls here are so big and plentiful. Grocery shopping seems very reasonable and dining out the same as NZ. Bird life is varied and noisy. Had to slow down for a wallaby on the road yesterday! Roads are great and Aussies considerate drivers. ps not missing working and reading plenty so life is ... read more

Cat sitting is going well with Charlotte the cat having finally accepted us all. The kids, only ever having had a budgie, and mice as indoor pets are giving her lots of attention and she is just loving it. The cheeky magpie that pinches her cat food was startled the other day and lost it's way out of the house. Pete had fun and games trying to catch it and finally get it outside. It was not too upset as it was back within a short time for some more! Can't believe just how many wallabies are around the property and how they just sit and watch us curiously at sunset and sunrise. With our kids here for the week Pete and I have been dropping them off at the Theme Parks while we have been ... read more

I had been up early everyday last week to make my way to work on public transport, and today was no exception. I wanted to say goodbye properly to Lee before I left to fly to Sydney and this was the only way of doing it. I got my gym gear together and we drove to the Hyperdome to get the 5.30am bus into the city. Lee had looked exhausted last night when he got home from work last night, his eyes staring off into the middle distance as we talked. Clearly he hadn't got much sleep last night either, as I found him passed-out on the sofa when I went to bed. We sat towards the back of the bus along with all the bleary eyed commuters in near silence for the whole journey. I ... read more

I slept like an absolute baby last night after my skinful of beer and lack of sleep the night before. I didn't climb out of my bed until at least 10am and walked through to find Lee already awake and be greeted by Des with a huge smile on her face. Des asked if I wanted breakfast, which I thought was a silly question, and told me to help myself to the cereal in the cupboard. There was a huge choice of cereals in different plastic containers but went for the healthier looking one with pieces of dried fruit and nuts in it. It was a welcome accompaniment to the slight hangover I had as I joined Lee on the sofa. He looked remarkably more chipper than me, but seeing as I had lost my drinking ... read more
