So today was the first day of the new training regime. The plan? To try and regain some of the lost ’shape’ and muscle that I had a few years ago. I don’t think it will happen very easily as I’m no spring chicken these days (quiet at the back!) but I’m hoping it will [...]
Well, the title of this entry says it all really. It’s good to be home.
The weather seems to be improving, and the big thaw underway, so we decided to venture back towards home to see if we could actually get to the house. It has been two months since we were last home after all…
The good news is that the roads are gradually clearing, although the roads around home [...]
The day started pretty much as expected – cold, snowy and grey. The snow through the night hadn’t been too heavy but nevertheless a fresh sprinkling had settled on the ground. Thankfully it hadn’t frozen too hard so we arranged to pick up the cats from the nearby cattery, and to then return home. A [...]
It’s been a long journey home and, finally, we are back in the UK in sunny old Wales. Unfortunately, the weather is really poor so we haven’t been home yet…
Having said our “thanks” and “goodbyes” to John, Meg and Chris, we left Perth, WA, in the early hours of this morning and flew towards Singapore [...]
And so our final day in Australia has arrived. It’s a day of mixed emotions; on the one hand it’s saddening to leave as there is still so much that we could see and do, yet on the other hand we’re looking forward to getting home and seeing family, friends and cats! We’re [...]
Our last Sunday in Western Australia… tomorrow we will be packing up our suitcases and getting ready for the 25 hour journey back to the UK.
John and Meg took us on a short road trip today to a place called New Norcia. It is the only monastic town in Australia and is host to a [...]
And so we find ourselves entering the last weekend of our holiday here in Australia. Given the terrible weather back home in the UK (some of the worst weather in many years with temperatures well below zero degrees C and lots of snow) I must admit I’m not looking forward to returning home.
Yet on the [...]
It was another early-ish morning and we were, once again, off on our travels. However, we weren’t venturing to some previously unvisited and unknown place this time… we were taking another trip to Rottnest Island; to enjoy more of the swimming and snorkelling that the island had to offer. This time we’d only be there [...]
After spending the last 4 days at the beach, today was very much another lazy day. The morning was spent actively engaged in the exciting pursuit of washing clothes… To make the afternoon a little more interesting, we decided to head out and catch another movie and to grab a meal out sometime [...]
So here we are – the morning of Sunday 3rd January, 2010. Lyn and I are off on a short break here.
Report and photos coming soon, including the savage waves and shark dramas!
Lyn and I are going away on another ‘mini-break’ tomorrow so decided that today would be another day to relax and get ready. Besides, I could do with another day relaxation as I am having trouble getting rid of the cold I caught a few days back. Lyn is currently packing a couple of bags [...]
Happy New Year!
I hope that all you readers out there (I’m informed that I now have a readership nudging close to double digits!) had a fabulous New Years Eve, whether partying or otherwise, and that you are enjoying this first day of 2010.
As you are no doubt aware (understatement of the [new] year) [...]
So here we are, on the eve of a new year. (I guess that’s why it’s called New Years Eve?) As with Christmas, I cannot believe how quickly it has come around. At this rate it will soon be 2020 and we’ll all be going to work in hover cars with robots performing the household [...]
After a couple of busy days, we slowed things down today. The morning was spent relaxing and Lyn took some time out to reply to a few e-mails and catch up on a few of the websites she visits. I spent part of the morning talking to Chris about car care and performance modifications so [...]
Today, we spent the day in Rockingham. More specifically, we spent the day in and around Penguin Island.
Interested? Then please visit soon for the full write-up.
Today was a public holiday and we were expecting it to be busy. Even so, we decided that we’d take another trip to Hillary’s as there were a couple of things we needed to do there (and we also fancied more of Sharky’s chips and garlic bread, as well as a swim around the harbour!)
The [...]
Following the Christmas ‘rush’ we decided that today would be another rest day. We have plans for tomorrow and for Tuesday so today will be spent relaxing and updating a few more of these blog entries.
Please do check back over previous entries from time to time as I am adding photos as and [...]
Boxing Day 2009 and, strangely enough, no hangover…
Not wanting to waste the day, and expecting a 40 degree C heatwave, we decided to head down to Hillary’s. This would give us plenty of shops to look around, places to eat and the all-important beach. Being a public holiday, we double-checked the timetables to ensure that [...]
Merry Christmas dear reader – I hope you had/are having an enjoyable time.
Today was, by far, the warmest Christmas I’d ever experienced…
The day started at a sensible hour and to bacon sandwiches; something of a tradition at John and Meg’s on Christmas Day. Sue – a good friend of John and [...]
