My husband says Guinness is so good in Ireland because the water comes from the Liffey
Seriously good stuff but we drink it in winter..........I had green Guinness on St Paddy's day in Sydney once

The Guinness question 
It is the aftertaste that we have in Ireland. It is slightly bitter and heavy.It is not in any other country that Guinness is brewed in (although I heard good things about Nigeria).
I think it is to do with the water in Dublin.
For example the Aussie Guinness (brewed outside Sydney I think) tasted like water to me (as in I drank it as fast as a pint of water say 20 mins). A good pint of Guinness here in Ireland would survive about 40 minutes as it is a slow heavy drink.
I read about a brewer in Ballarat who chemically broke down whats in Irish water and replicated it. He made a stout that won lots of awards!!
Actually i am fond of Coopers extra stout.
I don't like Aussie chocolate (long life milk). I choked on a Cherry Ripe the first time I ate one, but I love Tim Tams
Actually I prefer the taste of UK Dairy Milk to the Irish one.

I'm also missing a gold old cup of scottish tea - the water here makes a cup of tea taste disgusting and then there's the fact that it's just too hot to drink it here anyway, but i still miss a nice cuppa

Sorry you couldnt make the mummys meet yesterday. We are a real friendly bunch. I have just found this post and thought I would say Hi, I am around if you ever fancy a coffee and a chat. PM me if you fancy catchin up. I am northside about 25mins east from the gap. I go to a playgroup your way on a monday. Not sure if you have kids not yet in school but its a friendly group.
Next mummys meet is a week friday so hope you can make that.
I moved here last Aug 32wks pregnant, I have done it all once before only Melbourne last time and was like you I was very homesick too which didnt help and this time was determined to get myself out there before I had my little man as once he came on the scene I knew I would be less likely to put myself out and get a social life.
I must admit second time round it is easier for me but I am busy with the kids which keeps me occupied all week.
Anyway will stop going on and get in touch if you fancy catchin up

just moved into our new house, needs a full make over - and more, new doors etc, new tiles on floor, but we'll get there. Hopefully the recession won't kick in too bad, if i want to go home we need to sell!Glad the party went well, but as you say, these things are always stressful.

Re: Feeling upset, a bit crap and now feel like iam on my own.
Morning to you all. I know that this post is going to make me sound very weak and pathetic but hey. Well after being relocated to Brisbane in Oct we lived on Toowong for just over a month whilst we found our house and we are now living in The Gap. These first few months have been great we have done loads of bits and peices as you do because its all excitng and new. The thing is my mum has gone home now, Nicks at work and school starts up again today. My house feels so empty and i know that once i have done the school run its going to be even quiter. I have tried to tell myself oh its going to be great i will nip to the shops and have the radio on might have a swim and have some real time for me, the time i havent had in years but this dosent seem to feel enough. I know that i sound stupid, but has anyone else felt like this. I know that you have to put your self out there and make friends i do speak to all the regular faces but i still feel lonely. I think Nick is in a diff place to me as he dosent have the same relationship with his family that i do, he has also made a very good friend at work. Nick is worried that iam going to plunged myself into putting a downer on things and keep getting upset, but i know this sounds thick again i didnt expect to feel so on my own so soon. I sound so selfish i have got a great husband and great kids a fab house. Do these feeling pass, is this just the normal coming down from all the hype that has been going on. xx
