Hi Guys,
It's about time I updated the site with all the goings on in this hemisphere.
Firstly - Mandy, pass on a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Maddy!
ok, A recent trip to Dublin developed into a discovery tour of Guiness, Irish Whiskey and Baileys off course. I met up with a good mate from Adelaide in Dublin and we got into the St Patrick's day spirit a little early. Dublin is a beautiful town and the sun came out just in time. Quite different to the -10 and snow in London. I even managed to leave my gloves at home for a day - Ah the small amusements. We went to Kilmainham Goal where I had a very strange sense of 'been there done that' (weird caus a goal is a place I would know if I had been to before - one would hope). Eventually, we found out that it was the set of a few music clips and a few movies...Michael Collins being one of them. It was a very surreal experience when you think that at one time they tried to fit 10000 people into a 200 room gaol.
Trinity College, Jameson Factory,
St Pat's cathedral were all on the list as well as a few pubs - The Hairy Lemon being the fav. God I wish you were there Paul it was your style to a tea. Don't worry the Guiness was flowing and we even toasted you a birthday drink!
Moving on we had 3 birthday parties last weekend that I think we are still all recovering from. Jesse, Su-Ling and Thekla all share the same birthdays and it was party time. Needless to say we all ate, drank and danced the night away in fine Aussie style. I hope you enjoy the photos. I even got to catch up with an old mate from the ACC for those of you that know Emma and Kym - they are both doing well.
Finally, Jesse and I have an insane plan to get out of London for Easter and catch a bus to Inverness in Scotland to hunt for the Loch Ness. It is a long trip (13.5hrs) but I am sure we can keep ourselves amused.
Ok thats enough rambling for now...until next time.
P.S. Kate - I can't wait to show you my new home town,
and my shoe collection!!!!
P.P.S. Mum/Dad - Still workin on the Itinerary - be patient
P.P.P.S Rach - Where are you babe???
