Jem's been in his new job a couple of weeks now and he's really enjoying it. He's been to loads of wine tastings and is getting to try lots of different wines. A number of winemakers also pop into the shop with their wines, so Jem is able to try the wines with the people who made them. He also loves coming home at lunchtime and he's been put down for quite alot of overtime so it's all good for our saving. Over the past couple of weeks we've met up with a couple ...

Well Jem and I have changed our jobs again!! For the past week I have been working in Arthur's Pizza's - famous in Sydney for being the best pizza's in town.

Had a great flight from Singapore, met a lovely lady called Monica who was immigrating to Adelaide with her family and they had come out to oz in October while she had to finish the time in her job!!!! Landed in Sydney airport and got greeted by our friends, Guy and Helen, in Christmas hats which was brilliant!!!
