You can do that anywhere in the world – buy a dryer. I still need a dryer here as the sun just makes your clothes go all crispy. lol

I hear you sister. I didn't put a smiley on my post in reply to you (about wanting to vom) and someone said I should be banned! I have now updated the post with a winking smiley.

- you meet exciting expats, instead of the usual folk who moan about hangover, weather and lack of decent entertainment to fuel their TV addiction.

Oh I usually do give way. Old habits die hard.......so you'd be quite safe! I just love the fact that you can actually please your self and noone cares!

Just like it and am always pleased to get back here. My children were born here and think of themselves as Australian, so we get to have a dynasty hopefully..

Life is pretty good here for us. Many things I love, a few I hate and some that just don't matter either way... Big plus for me is the climate, the great friends we have made here, the easy access to this side of the world for holidays and breaks and the increase in my social life.
Miss my elderly parents though.....

I love the positive people and how proud they are of Australia
I love the food, its the best in the world (next to New Zealand)
I love all the different people making their homes here... mostly in harmony
I love how there aren't groups of thugs wandering around that the police are afraid of (speaking from my experience of Aberdeen)
I love it because it is home :-)
