So ive not blogged for a while, so im going to summerise what ive dont. not alot. there u go. since the last time i blgged louise arrived in sydney. i went and met her at the airport before taking her to our hostel. i dont no if i mentioned this last time but we moved to a hostel in kings cross called the originals. best hostel ive been in by far. big, clean, friendly staff, clean, fans in each rooms, frigde in each room (thats a biggy!) and a tv in each room! a little more expensive but well worth it. we caught up with gilly and joshua as soon as we could and spent the first few days milling around and getting christmas pressies sorted. one night we watched a lights show on the st marys cathedral which was amazing. it lasted about 15mins and was too good for words!! ill post some pics soon of it.

Christmas day was a cracker. on our way to gillys we saw a homeless woman claiming she was going to jump off the bridge in kings cross. there were police (loads of them) fire brigade, ambulance, emergency response, first response! we were watcing for about 20mins as she edged nearer the edge and then back. we dont no how it ended hich is annoying! we were greated at the cruddace's with a couple glasses of champagne on the balcony and then a skype to the farm wiith the young drunkards (all the girls were coo-ing at the kid (joshua!), jeff was passed out on the floor and darren was waving continously at the camera...classic! rich and i cooked up a storm in the kitchen, roast beef with all the trimmings. de-lish! followed by a rich special triffle, snacks and lots of alcohol!

Boxing day we went for a walk and a coffee before lou and i went back. we grabbed some lunch and then went and sat in hyde park for a bit. the rest of the time lou was there was not as eventful as id have liked. lou spent alot of time with gilly as i wasnt so well...again. this time it was, well im not sure. lots of names were thrown around, gastritous, gall stones, pancreatitous... i tink it was a bad case of gastritous from christmas day. anyway, i spent alot of time feeling hurendous and beng sick. when i was up to it lou and i would go for walks and sight see around the city centre. one day we did manage to get to manly beach, only for me to burn my face...badl. every time i blinked it killed!! anyways, lou left on the 3rd jan and i spent the next few days with my friend hannah batty. we spent time waling around circular quay at the opera house, meeting with gilly for a coffee and a walk (joshua LOVED han, he couldnt keep the smiles of his face when he looked at her!! the little stud), a day at the cricket and a night at the cinema with her sister sarah and her boyfriend viech (both doctors). back to the cricket tho. han and i had decided to go on the thursday when i recieved a call from rich on the wednesday saying he had got me a free ticket to the cricket if i wanted it. fantastic! so the next day i met han and we explain the story and bought her one next to me. turned out that the seat i had been given was one of the best in the ground!! (platinum seat in the arthur trump stand i think). the film we saw was sherlock holmes 2, it was great.
