Our house and that

It’s the 2 week anniversary of our arrival in Australia and we’re already starting to feel really settled and happy here. There’s no doubting that we got lucky with our flat. It’s bigger and nicer than anything else we’ve seen and it’s in a really good area too. We’ve uploaded pictures of it so at last you can check out where we’re living. The weather is a bit mad at the minute. Our first weekend was mental. The storms were so bad and we still had to go out in it to move into the flat and buy stuff to make it liveable. According to the news June has been the wettest in 48 years, people have died up north, boats have been wrecked in Sydney harbour but on a positive note dams are overflowing for the first time in 9 years so we’ll have plenty of water to wash our cars and water our lawn in the summer.

We both had our first days of work this week after the Queen’s birthday bank holiday at the start of the week. We both got on fine. Coming home at the end of the day is a good buzz. We’ve made some nice dinners this week and we’re starting to get over the high price of alcohol. We had some wine last weekend and a few beers during the week. The fact that it gets dark at 5pm in June is weird but we’re adjusting. We even plan to be in the city this week till 8pm! Madness. We’re going to the Sydney Opera House to see a live symphony orchestra! Just when you thought going to see a symphony couldn't get any geekier...click here! Should be a good laugh anyway and we'll know a few of the 'pieces.'

Before the link to the pictures we’d like to say a happy father’s day to both our daddies and every other daddy out there. Also congratulations to Bradley’s sister and her new husband who got married yesterday. They’ll still be drinking as we type this. We appreciate the emails from people keeping us informed about the TV event of the decade, Sean ‘Seany’ O’Kanes stint in the Big Brother house. Oh yeah, without net access we can’t post so frequently but we’ve plans to write up interesting things that happen to us as they happen then post them when we get a chance, probably at the weekend.

On a final note as we were walking to the internet cafe in the city centre we happened to spot Drew from Home & Away. Chris was star-struck. It was funny seeing all the girls recognising him as they passed and cracking up to their mates. Our first Aussie celebrity!
