all good things

january is renowned for being the toughest month of the year over here - being broke, cold and in the dark isnt much fun...and i have to say that rohan and i succumbed more than usual this time round. but things have started to pick up the last few weeks, with a few things to celebrate and some really stunning weather.


also we have made some of the hard decisions about when to return to oz. well, rohan resigned so sort of forced the issue, so we will be homeward bound any day now... drinking coopers in the sun (although we are getting home just in time for winter - good planning)

anyway, the last coupla weeks in pics

rohan got old (thanks to everyone who turned up to celebrate)

can you guess the celebrity?

3-0

paul got a little bit older (which was celebrated by devouring a several small animals)

(on the way home)

the tube *shudder* but quite nice photo

& we had some beaut weather (we went to the sea (of course)- no not brighton...brighton's poorer cousin, southend on sea. and we liked it dammit)

see - they have shingle too.

rides

and, the worlds longest recreational pier. no, it doesnt get much more exciting than that.

it was very peaceful at the end of it
