Hello! Happy New Year! We hope everyone's 2010 is going great already. Last monday we had a bit of a shambles of a day as we tried to arrange going to the cinema with Ellen and Chuey and it all fell through. After we had faffed around with that we went for a walk along the beach and to the little cafes at the end of them. We watched a film and went to bed. So being in Australia clearly makes no difference to the blah days that follow christmas and preceed the ne...

Hello! Hope all is well and christmas was the best ever!!We left our house-sit in Carine on the 22nd and spent the afternoon unpacking - again!

It was so beautiful, the carols were lovely ...

Hello. Carrying on from the last post, that night Mary-Ann found another cockroach when she went to make a cup of tea, and successfully took it outside. We then watched Hot Fuzz for the evening. The next day (Tuesday) we went for a swim in our pool, but we couldn't stay in very long as it was only the mid 20s and we got cold. To warm up, and because we had been dying to try it out, we had a spa bath in our bathers, with lots and lots of bubbles. Unfortunately t...

Hi, We'd like to pre-empt this entry by saying that we've already typed this blog out once, it was a very long one and it got deleted, because of that this is going to be very basic, sorry! Tuesday: we decided to take the bus the other way to Aquinas collage (where Amy's dad studied), while walking through the gates we noticed a couple of signs saying 'private property' and 'visitors must report to reception', so we didn't feel too comfortable to just walk arou...
