Perth Arrived in Perth and managed to find my cousin Shylie's place without too much difficultly. Amazing really given it's such a big place! Over the next 5 days we had some great times, terrific adventures and loads of fun with the kids. We visited Cottesloe Beach and were lucky enough to view the Sculptures By The Sea exhibition. That was bri...

Luckily i've got another job starting tomorrow doing labouring for a lanscaper (memories of working with Barry...

Well, the countdown is on. 2 sleeps till we finally fly out. It's been exactly 3 years since I returned to my home town from my 9 1/2 month adventure in Europe and UK - the stress of running out of money in Europe, the insanity of working and living in a crazzy English pub, meeting some not-to-nice people, whilst also making some fabulous long t...

Whoa! This is odd. Feels like we've gone back in time by 10 years! Not impressed.

So just what have we been up to with our new life here in Perth? Well Ben is working not too hard I guess he finishes work at 3.30pm is home by 4 and in the pool by 5 past! It has been so bloody hot this last few weeks as high as 42 degrees some days so having the pool to chill out in till 7pm at night has been a god send. The sun sets to the le...
