Awwwwww Bun, you're going home to Perth definitely!!! I know of a house that's sitting vacant,............... In lovely Waikiki. LOL Are you so excited to be back with your family or did you really get into the groove in Melbs? You haven't been over there for that long either have you? Geepers, time is flying if Josh is teething!! Far out, that must make you sad. Yeah, I'm quite mad about Alan's second business trip & he knows it, he is home tonight. Both trips have only been 2 nights each, but still, I'm in a foreign country for goodness sake & I moved here for HIM! I am loving the shopping, but none of it is market shopping (I think we live in Posh-ville), there is Gucci, Cartier, Givenchy & Armani across the road............... I can't even bring myself to enter the shops & wail at how I can't afford them. I won't put myself through that torture. I have found an ok priced shop called Zara where they do men, womens & kids & I have bought the kids a few things from there & I plan on having a shop there for myself when they are at school on monday. There is a new harbour opened up called Darling Harbour (funnily enough) & we had a walk around there today. It's part of the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Centre, where they held the sailing for 2008 Beijing Olympics, it's not an international venue & there is heaps of construction, so it's going to be exciting for us. Also, there is a Tepanyaki Restaurant there today which I JUST LOVE Tepanyaki. It's one of those restaurants where you are seated around the chef & he cooks everything literally right before your eyes & serves it directly onto your plate. I have already told Alan we are going there tomorrow. See, listen to me, freaking FOOD!!! I can't get enough of it. I'm goign to end up needing a wide load seat coming home for Christmas. I was supposed to get skinny here, not even more fat. It's depressing!!! Listen to me babble, can you tell I'm deprived of speaking to people who can speak English!!!

Spring - What's happened to Ollie's thumb?

Willow - Fill me in on Little D, please!!!

Mako - Wishing Sage the happiest of birthday parties today, I hope the rain held off & that he had a smashing time in the park with his mates. I hope you're not too exhausted after it all.

Love each & every one of you! xx
