Am off to Perth
 
After almost 5 years in sunny Mackay, its time to pack up and head west. Housewent on the mkt and was snapped up by the first person to view it. They even wanted to buy our furniture because it goes with the colour scheme.:confused: No house (yet), no job or anything come to that but a lot of hope and good spirit. I dont want to be too down on Mackay but I think 5 years is just about right. We got fed up with the rain and the cyclones and just thought, its time we moved on. We have several friends in W.A. and look forward to meeting them again. So another chapter opens as one closes. So its lookout Perth, framacs a coming. Yeehah:rofl:

We need to form family groups - we can wear gaudy clothes, throw panties from Target, have flags and the Scottish people can await with square sausages.

We shall have the bagpipes playing in the arrivals lounge and Northernbird and myself will cry on suitable command.

My panties may be mistaken for the windsock so I won't be throwing mine. I can cry on demand though!!
