I may well be visiting a village hostelry myself shortly, while the boy is at cricket practice. Tis a tad too chilly to stand outside for an hour and a half watching him run around aimlessly



By the way oh husband of mine, we've had the bill for the guitar lessons

When I asked you how you got to Oz, you said copious amounts of alcohol. To which I replied, "You got someone drunk?", meaning, to force fed someone alcohol in order to gain entry to "Straylia"

Oops, when you said are you there yet, I thought you meant comfortably numb. Which is what I was, having had copious amounts of alcohol! So I am blaming it on the drink!

But yes, I finally arrived here in September 2009 after having had a hard slog between getting the visa and getting to Oz. Of course, the GFC didn't help matters either.

I am here in WA and I love it.

SO how did you get out there? Family? Work? Married a "Bruce"?

I am desperate to get out there, but don't qualify through the Skills list

You haven't missed a meet, never fear - I would love to get to Nottingham and meet up with Rasen and Sailor, but I can't see it happening on this trip! Few family-type things to sort out, need to see how things go .....
