... the pig one. They let us go eventually but said if we developed flu like symptoms to contact the national health authority.. lol<br> My uncle was madly waving at me when I came through to arrivals, see my aunt was suppose to pick me up so I was looking for a male, and he had aged a bit since last time I saw him. So here I was in England.. the fog lifted and it was a sunny day, lots of fields and people with funny accents.

... and loads of sandy beaches with great waves. They put us up in their annexe which is normally their space for art and their books. We sleep well - it's so quiet here. They live a completely different life to us - 100% organic, no computer, no TV, no mobile, and are very involved with the Rudolf Steiner School (opposite) where Daniel and his wife teaches. Daniel's wife milks the school cow in ...

... we stayed for a while. Brindice had us in stitches telling us that their campervan wouldn't start that morning and they were late for work (they work in a surf shop) so she got out to push it but she was only wearing her Wonderwoman (pronounced Woof the Woman) knickers and a t-shirt on. So she had to push the van uphill and she was getting beeped at in her Wonderwoman underpants, very funny at the time anyway! The following morning we had planned to go ...

... day this week as she was going up to scout out houses. Between Christmas and New Year's was all I had to go off. By a huge stroke of luck, a friend of my friend Kym was looking for a place just then! She was flexible but said that it couldn't be before Christmas. Great, Trish won't be gone until then anyway! Then Trish got back and gave 10 days notice that she would be out two days before Christmas. "If the new girl can't move in then, you'll just have to foot the bill. It's ...

... it as a sign to hold off for another two weeks for my next pay check. Two weeks later I happen to check the internet and found a great deal. I called the guy and test drove the car that day. I put $500 down and payed the rest that weekend (it takes a while to get that many thousand out of the bank). The car is a Ford "Falcon" Wagon. Yes, I bought a station wagon. And yes, it's white. It's a bit of a "tank"; a 4 litre, 6 cylinder tank. But it's a 2000 model ...

... giggle giggle and set off in the middle of the day in the scortching sun to get my bus which wasnt so sensible i was exhausted and hot. Well i managed to get the right bus would you believe it and passed out i don t remember the journey and i didnt get to see the country side i must have been so tired. Ok i got of at the wrong station but it was still in Newcastle so i didn t go that far wrong i just didn t realise how big ...

13th of May Today was different - had cinnamon doughnuts for lunch and sandwiches for dinner on the bus on the way to Newcastle. Had a room for two. That was it... Yep. 14th of May Had a nice sleep in today, at about 10am we eventually got up, had a nice walk into Newcastle, Passing a row of desserted shops - the ...

... bad) here. One of the other unfortunate side-effects of said drought is flash bushfires. When I arrived in the Blue Mountain a week ago there were small warnings about little fires here and there, and when I left half of the park was closed. Fire had consumed countless hectares of the mountains within days. On night, myself and the rest of the crew got proper trolleyed (love that saying!) and when it was all said and done only me and this Norwegian guy ...

... near the place where Home and Away is filmed). Beaches were really nice and the weather was great all week, we even had a couple of BBQ's on the beaches (they've got public gas BBQ's) which were good - the one we had for lunch ended up lasting about 2 and a half hours instead of 1! We did have one day without electricity or water cos the power went off which was quite funny (we must have annoyed the ghost!) but apart from that the house was ok and it was a great week.

Hey there everybody, Greetings from Geordie land! We arrived in the city of Newcastle yesterday afternoon, just a few hours bus journey north of Sydney. We really could be in Newcastle GB as this place has all the piles of coal and cloudy weather you could ever need! Also a strangely large amount of car dealerships...very confusing. Apologies ...
