Hello lovely viewing public!
Unfortunately the girls from up above who were down under have flown away. Missing their girlish laughter and frolicing muchly. Jim, on the other hand is missing their wandering around the house in skimpy nighties, tidying the house and cooking of food. Sigh, I'll have to start 'the programme' again. Thanks for everything Anu and Ruthy roo.
Unfortunately plans to be savaged by wild dingos on Frazer Island were thwarted by the girls spending all their money on wine in the Hunter valley and by the attack of URTI + laryngitis. Sigh.
Depositing them in Brisbane airport gave us a splendid excuse to wander round Brisbane which was lovely. Metal wallabies on street. Fab. Also got our own private guide tour round Brisbane Art gallery by mad woman. Fascinating. Lots of Aussie art and a Picasso - of which they are very proud!
Back on the gold coast we went to the cinema. I came out from powdering my nose to find Jim playing a flashy light machine surrounded by a croud of Japenese who were CLAPPING HIM and CHEERING - apparently he's a god in the world of Puzzle Bubble. Really, I had no idea I was in the presence of such greatness.
Mainly playing on my mind is when big sis Ginny will pop - my new neice/ nephew being now over a week overdue. It is getting exceedingly hard to be on this side of the world, lovely though it is, even in mid-winter.
Just a wee bit homesick. Keep in touch!

HELLO!
I have been chastised for my lack of updating. Umm. Having a nice time showing anu and ruth the highlights of the gold coast and discussing wedding dresses. Puff sleeves, thats what i say. We watched four weddings and a funeral this morning as research. I've had laryngitis which made it a bit quiet.
