Well, after our Ozzie-style Christmas in Cairns, we are now living it up on Magnetic Island.....or rather we WOULD BE living it up - if it would just stop raining!!! The sea is really rough so we can't dive, and the weather is generally pants (although it is quite nice to have a little break from the heat)! Not too much to say about it here really unless you want a description of the inside of our cabin?? I think not! I'm not sure why I seem to be following these crazy weather patterns though, first a typhoon, then a heatwave, now a cyclone.....what's it all about?!?!
So what to tell you........on Christmas day we all swapped presents which was lovely, and went to see "Enchanted" at the cinema - Robert is McDreamy!! ;) Then we went and had our BBQ on the beach which was lots and lots of fun. We also tried crocodile and kangaroo jerky which I personally thought was DISGUSTING! Dried meat in a bag is just wrong on so many levels. Carlien and Tony really liked it though. Weirdos......
I also got to speak to all my family for ages (thank you Yorkie!!) which was brilliant! And I got to have a nice chat with some friends from home - Chris, Bon and Lee, you rock - that was the best way to wake up Christmas morning! Thanks guys :)
Also I want to say another quick thank you to Carlien and Tony - I'm glad I was with you for Christmas, you made it really special. And thanks for all the pressies (especially the BBQ beans - BRILLIANT!!) Tony, your message was lovely :) I'll stick with it, promise!
Finally just wanted to say get well soon to all the Worrells and Sharps, especially Michael (because you sound like you've got it worst you big wuss!!) Sorry you were all ill at Christmas, hope you still managed to enjoy the festivities. Wish I could have been there, can't wait to see you soon. Post the new pictures of Ryan soon please!! Thanks!! Love you :)
Anyway, hope you all had a great Christmas and have a fantastic New Year! All the best for 2008 everyone! I'll be spending New Years on a boat sailing the Whitsundays trying not to be sick :-/ (and I probably won't have reception on my phone either).
Hope you all have a great time partying the night away!!
Loads and loads of love and hugs and best wishes for 2008!!
