It's only been 5 months though! (today!!)
Btw, we wrote xmas cards to all our families (about 25 each
)
Started nearly all of them with: 'Well, we've been here nearly 4 months now, times flying.. bla bla bla...'
Anyway, it was nearly 5 months Proves my point though!

Still can't be bothered to send cards though. And I've missed the Oz postal date. Ah well. Shall do my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve as usual, I suspect.
Done a bit of shopping. Send a few things to my parents and brother 2 weeks ago.
Got some stuff for work colleagues
Now have to do Pascal (new bicycle helmet, and a proper coolbox/esky). And Pascal's parents(who will be here Tuesday)
And then about 4 friends here.
Will have to start Saturday!!

Funny you posted that because when I left Jersey yesterday some blokes had come round to trim the big tree in the garden. Most jobs of this nature are carried out by Portuguese workers, and there were these two guys atop a very tall ladder, petrol leaking from chainsaw, fag hanging from mouth, no safety harness or protective clothing......my dad couldn't watch. We had the district nurse there at the time tending to my mum and she was having palpitations in case one of them fell off the ladder and she had to do something about it!

Got 20 minutes left at work, so gotta do the dishes and clear up my desk.
Won't be much online after that, going out tonight with a whole bunch of Perth girls.
Now, how are you? Tired/stressed? Or did you have a good rest in Jersey?
