Haven't added to this for a while as not much has changed and I Haven't had much use of the internet. I am still in Childers but leaving here on Friday evening, sad times but also very exciting prospects. This weekend Steph, Beth and Irene (friends from uni) came and stayed here with me. Was really good to see them and we had a very enjoyable weekend. They have left here now and headed up to Airlie, hoping that the cyclone has moved on before they get there. Th...

The tomatoes very badly stained our hands and it took days of rubbing them with green tomatoes to get all the blackness off! Follow...

The Blue Mountains was ace, although (yet again) the cloud had fallen over the mountains and so we got some views but not all of them! The Blue Mountains has cloud cover around 50% of the time, therefore we firgured as we had it so wet and cloudy last time, the probability suggested it shoudl be nice this time.....how wrong we were!
