Aloha there once again!
And once again the Melbourne weather had turned on us and we're having a relatively cooler night
than last night! Still, i'm drinking a few (again not drink lol) on another boring night of nothing to do.
Miss you round to actually have some drinking competition with, cos this is just beast quite frankly!
Well glad to hear about the snow and i'm a bit iffy on the mulled wine idea - i'm more prone to a
Henesey or maybe a goon bag on the washing line :P
Still, glad to hear you're ripping up yet another counrty to the fine trends of the oz life and partying
somewhat hard (despite all the work - don't i know what that's like!! ARGH). The bond of the group
that was you may have dissolved the posse, but we still drink.... and wherever i was going with that
has been lost on me so i'll stop :P
Have a blast, party hard, resist the mulled stuff :P and i hope i'm not an international sms flirt.... hahaha :P
miss ya and love from us all!!
hey who let bernard fanning yabber on so much on rage i mean c'mon........

Well you should have seen my jaw drop and the big grin on my face when I saw ure msg Rach :o) definitely nice to hear from you! (as unlikely as it normally is online) As for a white Christmas, your comment came with good timing because as I was walking to work this morning (about half an hour ago) it began snowing :o) Apparently we're due to have the coldest winter Scotland has seen in 50 years (will definitely get me acclimatised for Scandinavia in January); looks like we'll be having a white December as well as a white Christmas! :----------: Also glad to hear you're still having the odd cocktail or two :o) I'm hanging out for some mulled wine at the moment (for those of you who dont know what mulled wine is - naive me didn't before I reached the UK - its warm wine with spices and stuff - forget the scarf and gloves.. give me mulled wine to warm me up any day *grin* ) :----------: I am still in Edinburgh at the moment, doing loads of temp jobs so thus have new people, a new company, and new role every week or so - quite fun considering my constant thirst for change :o) As for Edinburgh as a whole, it's a lot quieter and smaller than my preconceptions, however I have to say that it is one of, if not the most aesthetically pleasing city I have visited so far. Just last night I was walking home on my normal route down Princes St (the main road) with Edinburgh Castle perched up high in the skyline.. fire works and fairy lights abound! Was planning on doing some hiking or sorts over the weekend, however with the sudden change in weather I may have to reconsider.. but then again, a little snow and coldness never killed anyone (well maybe a few ppl! :op ). :----------: Anyway thats enough from me for now.. better get back to work! Hugs & Kisses, Elizabeth xxx
Rach
Hey Libs...Im sure you will be very shocked...amazed....even bewildered that I am writing a message on your message board :0) Very sorry it has taken me so long to check out your site, i did a while ago but only at the pics....you know me! Anyway life is pretty cruisy for me at the moment, finished uni for the year (get results monday :-/ ), working casually at Alkira during the week as well as the rec. program and trying to save...heh..trying to save for a holiday to surfers at start of next year. I cant believe it is nearly Christmas, it would be awesome if you could have a white chrissie, but i have to say iam very excited that summer is almost here...although with a sigh i have to say it wont be the same without you, my cocktai drinking buddy! (Rather funny and cute when i finished my exams mat took me out for cocktails, i've got to give him credit for trying to fill your place while you are gone lol :0)...) Well I've just finished work and it was a fantastically hot day so i might have to go have a beer....Keep having a blast, take care (the mum in me) on your travels and miss you heaps!!!!! hugs and kisses Rach xxxx

Howdy! -::::::- Lol.. love the sign off Ady :o) glad to see the cocktails, or alc at least, are still running free in melb! Went to a few vodka and tequila bars the other night in Liverpool that you would have loved (although the baked bean flavoured vodka didn't sound too appealing!). And Jess, the weather here is.. well.. pretty dreary at best, and I'm sure in a months time I will be envying the sunshine you guys will have.. but alas that is the UK.. fingers are crossed for a white christmas though! -::::::- The up to the minute report is that I'm almost in Edinburgh.. and I can't wait. The last month and a half or so of not working has been great but all the hip hopping everywhere is starting to take its toll and I'll be quite happy when I arrive in the pretty city of Edinburgh (or so I'm told) to plant my feet on the ground for a few months - I swear if I see one more museum or oh so wonderful cathedral or have to cart my pack to another hostel just to move out a day later I'll just.. yeah you know what I mean. -::::::- In the last two weeks I've stayed in Brighton, Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow (just about to leave for Edinburgh). All have been loads of fun and I've met some really great people. Met two lovely girls in Brighton (Jo and Kirrli) whom I shared many drinks and laughs about life abroad and back home (& the usual girly banter about boys! :o) ). I also got to check out a guy called Mark Wilson at the Brighton Comedy Festival and managed to get roped into the act (will be more details on the brighton postcard). All in all Brighton was a nice place. (*to be continued) -::::::- ...my bus is about to leave for Edinburgh so I'll cut this short. Toodles 'til next time! :o) - Elizabeth

Hey Everyone!
Well I've just had the best nights sleep of my entire life! The europe trip has ended *sob sob* and I'm back in overcast London.
16 days of camping, sightseeing and drinking in rain and shine has taken its toll and I'm spending a week or so recovering before my next adventure, zig zagging my way up England to Scotland. Take a look at my photos and postcards (soon to be posted) to find out what I got up to and saw on my trip :o)
Oh, and El, def pass on my details to Jane, it would be good to catch up.
I hope everything is well with everyone :o) (any BEX peeps who would like a copy of any of the pictures posted, please just email me at [email protected] with the description so I can send you a higher quality image).
