Australia

So Nova and i got here about 2 weeks ago. We've had mums wedding, we've been boating, bridge climbing, and drinking in the sun. Its been really good catching up with everyone. The only down side is this cold i picked up a week ago, but thats on its way out too. Tomorrow my "half" is flying out to alice, for nova and my wedding on tuesday. Excited? you betcha.

On Our Way Home!!

The day has finally arrived, Nov and i are flying back tomorrow morning! We'll be in sydney for a couple of weeks, then Alice for a week to get hitched, then canberra for a day to get nov a real visa, then back to the UK to start "our new life".
My contracts finally ending at work as well, and nova's almost finished her course so we're almost at the end of this crazy 2 year adventure in bad planning :-) (its been great).

Spring?

We're in holiday mode here already. Spring just arrived in the last couple of days, its amazing coming from sydney where the weather changes slowely to see how quickly everything changes here. Nova noticed the tulips all shot up out side our house, then in the last week its gone from snowing to clear blue skys and about 8 degrees. We cycled along the grand union canal yesterday to a pub called the coy carp and had a proper sunday roast in the sun. (well i did, nova had "the vegi option").
Be back in sydney in 10 days!
