WEll it's 4.25 am, yesterday was supposed to be a visit to the Blue Mountains, but unfortunately it had to be cancelled due to the weather, its pored down all all day, in fact its still raining now as I type, so it was a home day, a lazy day, just posted stuff to RD and Uncle Ray.
Once Macca realised we were home and hadn't been out, he took us out for a meal, I still haven't got used to restaurants where you take your own beer or wine, good idea tho!!
Today I'm supposed to get up early, as we are supposedly off to a dawn ANZAC parade,
(Anzac=Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Anzac day is huge here, its a holiday and most places are closed until after lunch.. "ANZAC Day - 25 April - marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. See I am being educated here, its not just a holiday. But as I sit here, wide awake and ready to go...Libby and Macca are fast asleep!!
Today is my last full day here, you'll never guess where I'm off to be tonight (watch this space!!) I've enjoyed every experience of the Aussie life, and I am going to return, hopefully next time I shall go to Perth, which is where I've always wanted to go, but couldn't get to this time, but now I've done the trip, I might just backpack around Perth then fly across here next time, there's so much I'd like to see, Ayres Rock, Cairnes, and the Barrier Reef.
Going home tomorrow is filled with mixed feelings, it means back to reality and things I have to sort, it means back to work and the pressures there, life here is just so laid back. And it means back to what I think will be a house that will take me weeks to catch up on, I doubt the washing and ironing, vaccuuming,dusting, polishing and garden or in fact much has been done...I'll wait and see.
But one thing I have missed most of all is my kids, they have been in my thoughts everyday, I've seen places they'd love, things I know theyd have wanted, and I think both would like it over here. So a big hug is in order for both of em, even if they do try and wriggle out of my grasp :)
