Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

 
Sitting here in Wanaka on the south island in New Zealand. Very pretty place - reminds me of the Rocky Mountains. Arrived on Tuesday, stayed the night in Christchurch, then caught coach to Queenstown. Last night we stayed in Milford South after going on a cruise (few photos were taken, to be posted at a later date). Enjoying being on holidays (yet again!). Travelling up to the Fox Glaciers tomorrow.

Funny times. The saying "Weesa Patterthon", orginally developed by Lauren Miller is now becoming popular amongst my friends!

Tanya celebrated her birthday on Friday night in style - a wig party at a restuarant. Was very funny - photos to be posted at a later date.

Leaving for Christchurch tomorrow.

The mystery of the missing photos has been solved. Were found hiding in my suitcase. Big relief.

Currently rather busy. Trying to organise New Zealand as well as still running around catching up with people. I babysat a friend's five year old who was suffering from chicken pox on Tuesday. We had a great day playing "ponopoly".

$8.70, Penguin walk, "I like it, I like it a lot", busy as Bourke street, every man and his dog, more front that Myers, uncomfortable breakfast (as usual, as you were), One legged seagull, Vegie Bar, smoothies, Mt Eliza beach, a bottle of vodka, getting in trouble at the swimming pool, tacky nightclub, "I like what I see"..... Had a great week with friends from Holland! So much so that today I purchased a flight to New Zealand later this month to travel with Saco and Ingrid for a week or so. I'm will settle down one day .....

Enjoying being back in Melbourne. Especially enjoying the warmth (39 degrees on Saturday). So far, so good!

Just dropped my friends off at the airport. I hate goodbyes. Nearly as much as I hate nightclubs set in the suburbs of Melbourne.....

Tonya's saying of "hmmmmm, not so much" is starting to spread around the world....

"I like what I see" Hilarious!

Just purchased a black suit - I'm such a Melbourne girl. Have begun the job hunting process, although this week will be filled with social functions as Saco and Ingrid arrive from Perth tonight. Phillip Island Thursday night if anyone is interested - going to see the fairy penguins.

Heard a man before use the saying "every man and his dog" - hopefully Australian sayings give me the giggles for a few more months to come!

Well, I'm back. Yes, its weird - wish Gillian was here to make me sane! Its very... Australian. Apparently I was lying when I said people don't use the cliche Australian sayings....

Everyone off to Oaks Day today. I decided not to spend the $60 on a ticket and instead am going to spend the afternoon down at the beach relaxing. Must enjoy my holidays while I can!!

Photos from airport.
