Wow!!!.. I've been in Perth nearly 6 weeks...and its over already... I've lived at Sue and Sids, in normality, in suburbia.. giving myself some time to get my feet on the ground for a bit and its been cool! And I mean cool... the weather has been the worst summer for years... by these standards I mean its about 24 generally and cloudy alot and windy!!... its ment to be 35 degrees!! Still it doesn't matter cause I've been working anyway! I've had a great time and met some fab people!! It was great to see Sue and Sid again after 7years...and now they have left me incharge of there house while they go and discover the world on there own 'around the world trip'!! Working hard in a coffee shop making posh coffee down by a marina. I haven't seen a great deal of WA just the main areas around Perth... I've had a car for a month and in which time I think I've got myself a speedin ticket to - Arse!!!... see proper local now... Met up with Andy and Tara over xmas, spent much time reminising and consuming copious amouts of alcohol...danced...sang.. and be merry( see it them.. they are a bad influence!!) celebrating Taras last days of here trip - YES... she has bailed and gone home early!!! - Poor show Tara!! Ha Ha... Spent the day on the beach which was great!! - proper aussi xmas!.. although its not really true because all the aussies are at home eaten Xmas dinner.. its only the brits on the beach!!! - haha Sorry this postcard is brief Ive left it too long and have no time to write much.. so I'm gonna leave it there... say farewell to Aussie, repack my bag which has be sprawled across my bedroom for 6 weeks and head for the airport... on to the next leg.....the LAST Leg of this trip... CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!?? Looking forward to a bit of travelling again like in South America.. a bit of a language barrier,using large hand signals to explain what you want and saying the same thing over and over again just slower and louder thinking that it means people will understand me - doh!! etc etc... Take care Y'all, Happy new year...
