Hello!

It's me again, Stephen has stopped writing blogs as he doesn't get replies! I however don't care and just like a record of what I've been doing cause I have a bad memory!

We have only one more week of school now, which is "Activities week" basically the kids come in to play games, watch movies and do sports...no real work. I am taking a group to the shopping centre tomorrow and to see "A Christmas Carol"- looking forward to it! After the reports go out on Wednesday we just have 2 days with the staff- big lunch and stuff, it'll be sad to leave but we are ready to move on.

So what have we been doing since my last blog? Erm, not a lot!! We ran the Great Australian Run (15km) which for me was tough but an achievement. Stephen celebrated his 29th bday and was spoiled with a day at the Masters (watching Tiger before we knew all his sordid secrets!), go-karting, A Nintendo DS and Hulk Hogan wrestling!! I have been meaning to put up pictures and will soon...

We are now preparing for our second Christmas in Australia, the tree is up and we have sent the cards (hope they arrive home on time!). We are spending Christmas eve at the Carols by Candlelight concert in the gardens, then heading out to our friends place for Christmas. Hoping to cure the festive hangovers with the Boxing Day Test match, should be good!

I have to say I am quite sad not to be home as promised...but that's Aline's fault!! ;-) The trip home is getting planned too so we shall be continuing our travel blog on here again- please keep looking every once in a while!!

12 days until Christmas everybody!!!!!!!!
