This week's gone quick!

Well, a whole week ago since I last wrote and to be honest, some of the days have just blurred into one! We're in Australia now in a city called Mandurah (an hour South of Perth) where my best friend Sophie lives. We got here Thursday afternoon after a very long trip and were feeling quite dazed and confused from all the time changes and flights.

Basically, we left Sri Lanka on Tuesday evening after a long weekend of visiting friends and family of Alfie, eating more spicy food, chilling out by the pool and generally not being as frantically busy as the week before. One thing I should probably mention (as I might end up moaning about it) is that I got sunburnt... Anyone knows me knows that this happens on quite a regular basis even though I do try to not get burnt but after a play in the waves at our hotel resort I thought I'd 'dry' myself out for half hour in the sun, well, apparently this was enough to frazzle the whole back of me so ever since that I've been walking around like an old woman trying not to stretch the skin and begging James to put more after sun on me to cool me down - it's not that funny really and to top it all off, this was just before our travel to Australia so I've had to sit on 3 flights for a total of 17 hours with a sore bum, not comfortable at the best of times!

Anyway, now that we've got to Mandurah we've been having a really nice chilled out time just catching up with Sophie and Cale (her fiancee). Popped into the centre of Mandurah on Friday and went to the marina for fish 'n' chips, so English! That night we went for dinner and I have to say I was very happy not to see curry and rice on the menu...

Saturday I spent the day wedding dress shopping with Sophie and her sister Lauren (Sophie and Cale are getting married in January 2009) and had a really lovely girly day browsing stores and 'doing lunch'. We came home to a BBQ and met a few of their friends and had lots of fun playing Charades (girls are so much better at it!)

Well today I think the plan is to hit the beach so I better be careful putting my sun cream on, my stomach is telling me I'm hungry too so I better go grab some brekkie...
