Its been a quiet weekend this one. Ive slept and ive slept. Then Mr TC started with the 'Man' flu - so I just had to get out - and huess what - Mr TC came with me!
We fancied going for a little walk or something - its crazy to live by the sea side and never go visit it - so off we went. As if by magic Sandringham had itself a fete on - our first Australian one at that.
Not much differnt to a UK one - people still tripping poeple up, the smells of beautiful food - the music belting out. One thing that was a little different was a stand like this - you wouldnt get this in Yorkshire!
So we are still getting on remarkably well. We have had some freshers arrive from the UK - the sister of our dear friend Hels and her boyfriend have come to live over here and being a nice sister Hels put them in touch with us. Its been nice sharing our findings with new poeple. It puts it into perspective how much we have achieved. It was hard to keep our findings to facts -as you know - I have a few opinions now. It is so differnt here, and us Brits ARE a different breed! But I aslo think a few mis-conceptions have snuck through -like Australia and Australians are a very laid back - nothing could be further from the truth - I have never been told off, tutted at or had my personal property tapped more in my life. I have never had to work so hard, or cope with so much upset in a work environment. But hey ho - it can only get better. I have so much good stuff to give - I just hope I can sustain it. I certainly dont wanna join'em.
