Lazy bones.

Been very lazy with the blogging for the past couple of months because there’s not much to say, just working away. Can’t even remember the last blog I wrote, so since I last posted I’ve: climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge (amazing views, horrendously overpriced!), had my parents over to visit, been to an opera in the Sydney Opera House, saw a Blood Moon (lunar eclipse where the the moon actually goes red in colour! Cool!), went wine tasting in the Hunter Valley (and got my first taste of Australian countryside, not from falling over due to wine consumption!), got a very badly bruised bum from cycling YHA bicycles in said Valley, saw platypusseseses and HUGE sharks and stingrays in the Sydney Aquarium, walked from Bondi to Coogee and Manly to the Spit, trekked in a national park and spotted an Echidna (cross between a hedgehog and a porcupine) and a naked man! and a lizard (nothing to do with the naked man!), ate pies, ate out, went to Taronga Zoo and saw Wallabies and Kangaroos and lots of terrifyingly dangerous Aussie creatures and critters, saw Snow Patrol in concert and saved the planet by attending the Live Earth concert in Sydney, filled a lot of teeth, killed another plant (my green fingers are also somewhat deadly to potted plants??), drank Aussie beer and wine, watched brain-numbing Aussie TV (don’t get me started on the media over here, it seems Oz TV is unaware of the concept of impartiality), enjoyed glorious sunshine and not so glorious sunburn (where’s the ozone gone!?), been to lots of cafes (every second building is a café), avoided being shot by a sniper during Sydney APEC lockdown, neither did I witness the Brazilian inspired anti-“Bush” campaign…, made plans for travelling in Oz, finishing work on Friday!!! and I'm off again, watch this space... Stuff will eventually appear on it.........
