The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
`Who are YOU?'
said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!'
`I can't explain MYSELF, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, `because I'm not myself, you see.'
HAPPY NEW YEAR
My few days in Sydney are nearly up. Tomorrow I am going to New Zealand to pick up my little home for 19 days. I have booked to swim with the dolphins at this place http://naturetours.co.nz/new-zealand/swimming-with-dolphins/ at the very top of the South Island. Excited...? Understatement!
Sydney has been very relaxed staying with Daniela (a brilliant Germ who I know thorough my favourite Germ Nina, who I went to UCD with) and her boyfriend Oliver. Two other friends of theirs, Martin and Laura, were also here but have now headed off to Brisbane so they can drive back along the Gold Coast. New Years Day was an afternoon on Curl Curl beach, with glorious sunshine and yesterday, in the clouds I cycled around down town and got myself jeans and a North Face jacket (same as your Zoe, but in black) for my trip in NZ. Apparently I am guaranteed some rain on South Island, but it won't matter when I'm in the sea being taught to surf!!
Don't forget I turn 30 in 15 days so it's the count down. I am really looking forward to putting the 20s to bed. No I don't mean 20 year olds to bed...I mean, roll on the 30s. Bring it on.
