So, if you haven't heard from us recently, you may have thought we have died. Theres not been much activity on our blog, (not much is a bit of an under-statement, there has been no activity on this blog for a while!). We've managed to both get jobs in Sydney, which take up most of our time, so we haven't had much time to see new things, or…

mum Hi Holly, Howz things? The weather is better here now - just normal cold and wet, not Siberia anymore. Nothing much to report tho, just same old same old stuff. Not even X Factor or I'm a Celeb to chat about. Ohhhhh I can't wait for the spring. Jamie sends his love and wants to know why you didn't reply to his text on your birthday???? I guess you were too busy celebrating. Still miss you but glad you're having a good time. Say hello to Gary - hope you're looking out for one another :D Love you loads ....... so do the cats, Mum, Jamie, Meral, Buster & Fatty xxxxxxxxxxxx

Paul Bostock Hello Gary, HAPPY NEW YEAR! How are you? Hope you are well. Looking at your photographs it would appear that you are having a good time. All that sea and sand-I feel quite envious! Christmas away from blighty...never experienced that myself,guess it must have felt strange,but I am sure you made the most of it-plenty of beer and all that!!! Take care,will contact you soon--Paul.

Mummy (Gill) Hi Holly & Gary, Sorry I've not blogged you for a while. Your link was on my old computer and I can't access it any more. Anyway now that you've emailed me your link again I can bombard you with exciting news of rainy old Blighty, prawn flavoured cocktail crisps, X Factor and scrambled eggs. Mmmmmm. Hope it doesn't make you feel homesick ha ha. Sylvie tried to send you a message the other day but she lost it. Maybe she forgot to press add message, or maybe she got the sum wrong. But she told you all her news about being elected chair person of the bee keeping society locally........ rivetting stuff huh!!! I can imagine one day her news letter will be part of the "Have I got News for You" TV Prog. Remember where they read out headlines and the team fill in the missing word. In this case it would probably be bee or honey!!! Amyway bees are very important to our suvival according to Charles Darwin did you know? Am I talking a load of rubbish? Am I embarrassing you Holly? No new news though, but just messages of good luck and happiness from me and everyone who are always asking about you. Hope you get a job soon, and you can do a bit more travelling. Like you say living in Sydney could just as well be Woking. I hope you get to see much, much more. Its a wonderful experience. I watched I'm a Celeb last night but couldn't see you. :o) Miss you loads and love you. Send a kiss to Gary and tell him to look after my little girl. Mum xxxxxxxx :o)

Gill And then there were two!!! Hi you two. Sorry to hear that Charley has come back to wet old England. I hope she doesn't regret it and that you aren't missing her too much. Good luck in your search for work & finding a flat. Don't worry about the dead cockroaches, it's the live ones that you should worry about. Ha ha, Seriously I hope you find a nice place to live and settle. Maybe you should think about moving out of Sydney and find a smaller town. Had a Halloween, Firework BBQ party last night and it poured with rain all day. So we cooked up in the car port and partied indoors. Despite the pants weather it dried up long enough to let off the fireworks, but the rest of the time we were indoors. The kids played bobbing for apples and a few other silly games in the carport too. All in all the party was a success and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. There were almost 30 of us altogether, but luckily not too much mess to clear up this morning. I'm not sure where the cats hid, but they were both around this morning waiting for breakfast none the worse for the noise. Feeling a tiny bit frail this morning (I wonder why?) So I'm going to watch the X Factor repeat then go back to bed with a great book that I'm reading. ZZzzzzzzzz Miss you and be happy and have fun Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
