a lot has happend in the last few weeks

mum and dad came to stay with us for a few days before they flew back to brisbane and would you believe we discovered we live behind mum's old school!!! who would have thought 30 (cough) odd years later i would be living back in the same area.

i can't wait to see them again, only 4 more months.

can you see the resemblance?

here's another family resemblance between my mum, my aunt eileen and myself. it is odd to see such resemblances for me as i was brought up on the other side of the world to my mum's family and didn't have much contact with them. however on occasions like this when we do meet up i feel like i do belong to a much bigger picture.

the next week was paul and kath's vist to our fair shores. we met paul and kath in melbourne in 2005 when we were there for a year and it didn't feel like 1 1/2 years had passed. it was great to spend some time with them: shopping with kath - now you know not just anybody can get me to go to oxford circus on a saturday morning (my version of hell) and portobello market.

monday ed and i took the day off to go to brighton with them and promised them fish and chips at the seaside.

what a relaxing day.....

see you in 4 months where you can show us around your favourite places in downtown dubee
