I get really sick at night. High fever. Aches everywhere. Tony calls the doctor in the morning. The symptoms of flu are equal to those of malaria and the doctor gives him no choice: 'Emergency, immediately'. I am very reluctant. Hubby does not take no for an answer and off we go. Mum joins us.   What I expected to be an hour of checking in ...

Sat in the back garden this morning for a while before leaving, just enjoying the quiet and the breeze, with Cher (Katherine's cat) purring away on my knees. I think she knew I was leaving so wanted me to have a gift - a nice little collection of cat hair on my trousers and t shirt! Brushed myself off and we said our goodbyes to Gilliann and Tan...

Spent a few days in Western Australia, en route to New Zealand.  After realizing that I was moving through four time zones, I was happy for the break in travel.  And I was pleasantly surprised with Perth and its neighbouring port city Fremantle as travel destinations.  I was only there for three days and managed to ...

The Australia Day weekend arrived with a slightly early finish in the office (well... It was a holiday weekend after all!!!) and home to get ready for the Bon Jovi concert. No, we weren't gearing up in denim, permed wigs and bandanas, just making sure that we had comfortable clothes for what promised to be a fairly hot evening. We walked from Le...

This entry takes in our remaining time in Western Australia, including trips to Margaret River and Rottnest Island as well as work, play and Christmas in Perth.

We've moved to our fourth apt since arriving.  ...

At last, I love being in Perth but im missing my main aim of seeing Australia, and im returning after the tour (providing I don't stay in Exmouth) so all is not lost, had goodbye drinks last night so having much dairy today to counteract, the people at work gave me a goodbye cake, handm...

The first blog for Australia, sorry it has been so long coming, i am still alive!!!   It was great to arrive in Perth to a familiar face. Denise very kindly collected us from the airport in the small hours of the morning. The trip hadnt been too tedious but considering me had 3 flights in 24 hours it was pretty tiring.  It was fantasti...

As you can see by the date we are a little behind! Anyway what luxury it was turning up at Sonya's house..... thought I had died and gone to heaven! No more sharing a bathroom (well until Kerry turned up a few days later and ruined it all!! - only messing!) and having a kitchen where all the appliances work and, the best thing of all, a spa in t...
