Uk = No blog

Well aparently it does. I never seem to be able to find the time to write anything longer than a few sentences these days; most of those seem a little dull!
I guess the blog has always tracked how i felt about things, what I was up to etc. Things are dull, dull, dull. LOL. No travels to report on, not very much in the way of new experiences either. Lots of thoughts in my head: most of them not suitable for the blog! lol

SO Update time...

1 ) We've started saving for the epic return journey. It's time for us to make a move (well as soon as the epic amounts of money are saved and the house is sold) back to the land of upside down. No offence England but you're killing me !! ;) As much as I love my friends and my family i KNOW that they're all ok and will continue to be ok even when i am in the other hemisphere; that's exactly what happened last time anyway.

Australia has it's head screwed on right and the beaurocracy, lack of trust and pressure just drives me closer to the airport with every passing week!

2) We have bought a new camera. SPAN its a lumix jobby and it's cool. Our old faithful HP Camera bit the dust after sucking the life out of yet another battery to the point where it was totally non -rechragable! LOF loves the fact that it has what we have called a "pap" mode - shot after shot continuously. He even followed me around a shop with it! Strange but celeb like.

3) Xmas shopping hasn't really begun and need to get on with that...

4) See! It's been over a month and i've run out of things to say...... tum tee tum tee tum....

LOL

All Hallows eve!!

PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Sutdley residents already look confused when we open the door and look scarier than their dressed up children!! (MOAH HA HA!) Party here we go!!!

Today i learnt

To not get too emotional at meetings!
Honestly... I need to not let it get to me... i start to foam and run off at the mouth! lol Ahh passion for your subject is dangerous! ;)

Life's too short...

Just so you remember, life is short and precious and hard and complicated, scary and emotional and wonderful. Don't waste it.

There are two people in my life at the moment who are in serious trouble and I am sending them all the happy thoughts I can muster. On their behalf I want to say... NO regrets... LIVE! Do it right and without missing out on anything you deserve to experience.

Lecture over.

I shot a gun!!

I know! Me the pacifist... tut tut. LOL We went away to a lovely persons lovely farm and there was a shooting competition. Apparently I'm not to bad with a giant air riffle thing.. Watch out.. I can shoot cans!! (Moah ha ha)

Motorbike LOF and Moch

LOF has a bike. It's big and black and chrome and shinny! ;) (A Triumph Bonnie)

I went on his bike! (Woo hoo!) I got to hold onto a "sissi" bar and ride around on the bike with my helmet (£60), my jacket (£70) and my boots (£100)! Who knew that when your OH gets a bike you emd up forking out £200s so you can ride on the back!! OMG - You certainly don't have that problem with a car now do you! (Be warned Hoppy!)

What was it like?
Cool actually. I was quite happy on the back whereas I think LOF thought that he needed a stiff whiskey and coke when we returned to calm his nerves! Bless. I thought he did really well and although it was dark (and a little cold) I felt perfectly safe!

When LOF arrived at the house on the "beast" last weekend mother took lots of pictures. As you would expect she made him pose with the bike! ;0) I've called her to ask her to email me them - when she works it out I'll add them to here so you too can share in his glory! When I arrived yesterday, fresh from the biking trip and without my helmet, didn't even recognise me!! (Typical!)

;)
