Hey, great to read the latest info about Melbourne. Can't say I feel sorry for you regarding the temperatures as I'm currently off sick with a foul cold and there's freezing fog outside! Oh for a bit of warmth and sunshine!

Glad you enjoyed the cricket. As I said on the phone that was Sat am gone as Dad needed little excuse to sit and watch.... just looking to try and see you.Quite a talll order considering the crowd size and needless to say unsuccessful.

Hope the visit to Ramsay street hasn't spoilt the illusion of such high class drama! Will you ever watch again?

Looking forward to seeing the photos, love Mum

Hey Soaps

Sounds like you are having such a great time and I must say, your blogging skills are truely remarkable! LOL!

Seriously though, you are definitely being missed- I have brought some ingredients to make my own pizza but it just isn't the same without a group of Lithuanians chatting behing us and making chicken feet soup (or whatever) around us! Hmmm...

Keep up the blogging, I almost feel like I'm there with you- part from the sub zero temperatures and a drafty mobile home!

Stay safe

Love you loads amigo

Sophie,

Excellent blog entry. Sounds like you are having the time of your life.

Keep the photos comming, they are pretty amazing. Glad your enjoying the heat and adventure of Australia while we are all stuck in the dull cold grasp of England.

Watched an advert for Australia the other night, you know the ones.. explore wales, explore australia etc. And it all looked amazing.

If your on the way to Melbourne make sure you check out Queen Victoria Market.

Safe travels

Hi Soph.

Cant believe you are there already. Sounds like an eventful start to your trip then. At least you wont have to stuff yourself silly with left over turkey and sprouts and far too much alchohol and chocolate! Let alone the horrendous sales which are only good for size 8's and 22's. (new years resolution to reach either of those!)

Really not fair to have such hot sun there either. As you'll no doubt be checking, its rather chilly at home.

Great to have this blogg stuff. Hope this works cos its my first ever time. I'll get the family on it next time!

Take care
