Here I come, whinging again........
 
.....actually, no, maybe I won't this time! I know some people think a lot of my posts are whinging and negative, while others view them as realistic.
Well, heres a positive statement for you all........I love Australia! (well, this week, anyway)

We got off the plane in Melbourne yesterday and the weather was - and still is - fabulous! Its warm, but not Brisbane-type warm. The Bloke is finding it a little chilly, I'm just finding it British! Nice chilly morning, lovely slow sunrise, slow sunset tonight - it was still light at 8.30 (just) - and when put together with the beautiful scenery in this bit of Victoria.......well, I always knew I was lucky to be here, guess I just needed reminding. :)
Good company, good beer, good scenery, feeling really content. Long may it last. And thanks to Hevs and HUP and the children, for their hospitality and friendliness, which has cheered me up immensely :)

(and not a power cut in sight still......arghhhhh, some woman has just turned the lights out to wind me up!!!!)

Cool!! I'm so happy (jealous) for you. Glad that you are happy in Melbourne, good that you found good company too. I love beer and hot weather, I esp. like Victoria Bitter :beer:.

Wish it was us.... Hopefully someone will buy our flat, and we will be in Perth by May, yeah!!

Have fun and take care
