The site is still here! What's going on? Well i had numerous messages offering to help with my renewal which just made me so happy. Thanks to everyone who offered - it means a lot to me. And a special thank you to the person whose offer i took up for just sorting it out - no messing!

So the Tour will continue. Spose i better come up with some news and photos then! I've been living the high (skint) life in Sydney and just having a ball. One particularly momumental night which has gone down in history saw me and a nameless cohort stay out on the town till 10am. That is a record for me but i paid a heavy price in the ensuing days obviously!

Lovely Sarah and Brian (how can there be another so named couple in my life?!) of Harrogate extraction passed through this week on their world tour. We went for a beer or two in Kings Cross and ate at a hilarious Japanese restaurant called Ju Ju (how could we not?). You have to take your shoes off when you go in and then have them handed back to you in a plastic bag. The tables are sunk into the floor and surrounded with fences - it looks like a corral or sheep pen. The menu was never-ending and it took us (Sarah) an eon to choose between such fayre as fish sausages with cheese and a whole eel. mmmm. We all managed to order well though and had a great meal despite the staff ignoring us most of the time. We felt like meerkats constantly bobbing up and down in our little pen trying to get someone's attention.

So not long now till Mum comes and i have a few things planned. Sadly i'll still be working so we have to squeeze the Sydney things in rather than lord around at our leisure. But i'm not complaining - the hugs are what i'm looking forward to most!!!!
