G'day!
Well i arrived to a beauitful sunny Syndey early Tuesday morning. When we landed the pilot told us it was already 20c and it was just gone 6am! and what a beautiful day it was. Was so excited to see Amy and Jim waiting for me, and Jim made a special trip over Habour Bridge for me. Then i was left for a day of relaxing and chilling while everyone headed out for work. It was hard work...did my washing, when for a swim, laid in the sun reading lonely planet, watched corrie and emmerdale and thats about it! It was a good day. In the evening me and Amy went out for a little drive round to Tobys. It was the first time in months shed been out in her car, that girl is insane. Has her own wheels and still never learnt to drive, just cant understand why people dont just learn at 17 and get it over and done with so youve got the freedom and independance to go wherever you want to. Right, so i got to meet Toby...ive been talking to him since i was about 10 so for a very very long time but Tuesday night was the first time we'd ever meet and it wasnt weird at all. Think over the past few years i spoken to Toby over emails and msn more than i have to Amy! It was really great meeting him though and we're all going somewhere Saturday night so im told! (I did get told off for not answering my phone to both of them on new years tho!)
Yesterday i finally got to meet Baby Jack, and what a gorgeous little boy he is and so good. Apprently he looks like John but im not totally convinced. So me and Kath went up to Manly to meet Kirsten and Jack and we went out for lunch and pottered round the shops. A really nice afternoon and i was so suprised how much i recognised and how familiar everything was. It doesnt feel weird at all being here. We went talking and the last time i was here Kirsten was getting married now she has little Jack!
And today i decided to go on a little adventure for myself and got the train into the city. Pottered round The Rocks and down to the Opera house then jumped on one of them Hop on Hop off buses like they have in Dublin... had a whole city tour, jumping on and off the bus whenever i liked. Then of course i went down George St and did some window shopping before getting my hair done! Very nice relaxing day. Just need to work out what im doing with the next few weeks before Gaz gets here and try and get hold of Ad!
Love you xxx
Me and Gaz

hahahahaha!!it was only a matter of time before Brian caught up with Adrian! (hope Edinburgh was good by the way) you should have seen him in Byron buying the whole bar drinks with this credit card, (i couldn't believe it when the champers came out!) touring the strip joints, eating in the finest restaurants...the list just goes on and on! Alex, Dave and I tried to calm him down but once he's had a drink there's no stopping him...and as for the tattoo!!! Glad your having lots of fun Rach - im impressed you found so much to do in Canberra! i think i may have stayed in the YHA there, i remember it being pretty good (compared to some i've seen/ heard about!). im jelous of you going between darwin and perth - that should be a real good journey! infact im just jelous of you being in Oz. could you ask Kath if she minds if i come back next month? ha im joking Kath - don't worry! oh thanks for sending that article over maureen whilst Alex and myself were still there;) reet - im going to go and take my big wooden spoon with me so i can't stir it any more, take care and i hope you have many many more adventures!
