So a week and a half to go, before we leave Australia for good. No change of plans to report, so that will keep the family happy!!

Living pretty quiet at the moment. Working alot, painting, refurb, which is keeping us busy and earning us the beer tokens for Asia. Really looking forward to Asia, its gonna be such a culture shock, but what a oppertunity to see some of the real world, not this false, corporate, material western world we all adore. Such an array of things to do and explore, i honestly cannot wait.

Speaking of Asia, was surpried to hear from Neil the other evening. Long story short, he is leaving Australia in two days for Thailand. Katie and himself have had enough, so are travelling SE Asia for two months, coming back to Australia for three weeks, then off to Canada for two weeks and gets back to Scotland roughly the same time as us!!!! Crazy set up. Shame he is only really using four months of there extra years visa, which took them three months fruit picking to obtain!!! Maybe meet up in Asia, but with time, communication, etc, the way it is, we shall see.

So not long now, then its emails and blogs to keep in tough. Hope all is well where ever you are. D x

Christmas and New Years is over and done with, and we press on.

I have posted some of the Chrimbo pictures i took, not all of them (censored for obvious reasons) so please enjoy. Not long till we leave for Southeast Asia. Cant wait. Will be in touch soon, take care, Dav x
