ok - so the picture is not really a realistic - but I could not find one suitable for where I am and what I am doing and I thought this one was nice! So - back from Melbourne - and straight into the Easter Show! Sitting at Olympic Park giving out radio mics and in ears to the performers in the main arena. In a couple of weeks I will be on holiday - can't wait! My last holiday was over 2 years ago so very excited. Anyway - best go and tread in more horse poo - i...

Wow - big delay in me writing! Sorry. Was busy with the Commonwealth Games and need to catch up on replying to people's emails so sorry in advance if I have not replied to yours!

Had 1 full day off in over two months. Finished work two day...

As we drove through the Blue Mountains, the cloud settled in so I 'mist' the view (sorry!!). Luckily - I knew what I was missing as I...

First day at work :-( But I got to see a whole bunch of familiar faces and meet some new ones too - it isn't all bad! Also - my accommodation is ready today so I have to part with my harbourside bedroom in Andrew's living room (at least he's happy he has his lounge back!). My new place is a lovely 2 bedroom house 10 minutes walk from the office. It has become home to many who live so far from work that they come to Sydney during the week and go home at ...
