Well guys and gals,
I arrived 7 weeks ago and yes it was chucking down with rain and yes it still is, U call this Australia LOL. My kids are coming next week Woohoo, hopefully the moron who is buying our house in the UK will just sign the damn contract and stop haggling over the price (we are now giving it away) and then him indoors can join us too. Was it worth the stress?? ask me again when we are all here!! OK1 Jacqui

hehe yes. Edo and I have commiserated often on life in the "Sunburnt Country" whilst watching the rain pour down outside our window...

welcome to Oz... I'm sure the drought is a conspiracy started by the Greens to generate conservation in the country. As far as I can tell, there's water aplenty LOL

OH, happy you must be.........
I bet you can't wait to see himself and the kids; wishing you all a joyous reunion.

Now look, peeps; it will soon be summer! Just as soon as school starts in 2 weeks; leave the weather report alone. I'm enjoying the rain, with the packing and planning to do, decent weather would just interupt my flow!!!!!

Keep smiling
Jane

Where are you in Oz?

In SE South Australia is been raining too but I don't think it's been going for 7 weeks! This month it's just catching up with all the rain we missed in previous months.... However it is getting warmer here, the days are getting longer and the daffodils are out so we are heading in Spring! Summer will soon be here and then it'll be hot again!

Regards,
Karen
