We've reactivated the old blog

Keeping you abreast of events on our Europe trip (25 Jul - 31 Aug)

It's not possible...

... that I have not updated this page in 2 months!!

OK, it is. And I'm crap. It's official. I admit it.

So, where did we leave off last time... ah yes... we were still in March!

What a great month, that started with a visit from Paul (London) and Stephen (Sydney). While they were here, it was time to have the housewarming. Enjoying what turned out to be the last hot day of the year, our friends braved 38 degree heat and partied hard with us. Photos, as always, are on Flickr. Thanks to everyone who came along.

Moving onto April, we started with a sad event. After a while in Melbourne, Megan got itchy feet again and prepared for her move to Thailand. She couldn't go without a decent send-off, so we went to The Canary Club, one of our favourite places in Melbourne. Lots of tapas and too many bottles of red wine later, Megan was well and truly "waved off". What a night!

Unexpectedly we were also joined by Janet & John, friends from the UK, who were on a quick visit to Melbourne on their pan-Australian trip. Great to see you guys!

Next it was Georgia and Christian's housewarming. Again, our apologies for being sooooooo hungover that we could not party. Blame Megan!

The next weekend we had another leaving do (of sorts!) for Megan... a Yarra Valley winery tour. What a great day! Jay couldn't make it because of his radio show... shame!

After that, it was straight to St Kilda to celebrate Lee's birthday at another favourite eating place, Blue Corn.

And no April would be complete without "The Festival of Garry". The period where I stretch my birthday for as many days as I can. This year, as we have the new house, and because our new dining table and chairs arrived on my birthday (yippee!!) it had to be a dinner party. Well, two, as we couldn't fit everyone in on one night.

I should also say a big thank you for all the cards, gifts and wishes from around the globe. A special shout out to Sara for the fabulous hamper! Oh how I enjoyed that Verve!! And the chocolates. And biscuits... how well you know me.

Check out all the birthday pics.

Pleas also update your address books, as we have a new UK telephone number (thanks to Skype) 0141 416 2429. If you don't have Skype yet, WHY NOT?! Free calls Skype-to-Skype and VERY cheap rates to landlines around the world.

OK, well I'll leave it there for now. There is more, but I don't know how much you can handle in one serve.

I will try to update the blog again in less than 2 months!

Til we meet again - email me with all the gossip of what's happening in your lives.
