Shopping? For anything I can lay my hands on! Food mostly, especially crisps and twiglets, decent cider, and new clothes, shopping here isn't with the effort so I pack it all into a very short time over there!

So you in Oz? Which Part?

Oooo sounds like amixture of good and boring shopping:

Clothes and cider = good
Food stuffs = yawnarama shopping

Tassie and Victoria are better for cheese, Tassie especially does some great ones, had a strawberry cheese there once that was just to die for

Weather? P*ssing down in Mackay and bits of the far north, Monsoon trough doing nicely. Heat warning for the southeast for 35 degrees today, plenty to keep me busy!!

It was gorgeous, homemade at some strawberry farm in the north of Tassie - strawberry cheese AND strawberry wine, one of the best tours I ever went on

Keep the temps low till April won't you, I'd like some snow
