Winter is here, but not for much longer!

Winter, well not really the winter that we knew from the UK. I am told that it hasn't snowed in Perth for 300 years or so. In fact the temperature here, during the day time, always stays above 14 degrees C. In the evening it occasionally drops to single figures, but never the minus numbers.







Anyway, 3 months from our lst blog, so here is an update:







I did go back to the UK to watch Millwall play at Wembley. It was nice to see Mum, Dad and Matt, and to catch up with as many friends as is possible. I was in the UK for four days! In those four days, I managed to get to Bluewater twice, celebrate Macca's birthday, have a drink at 8am on Sunday morning, eat a decent curry (you don't get decent ones here) and still not have time for the jet lag to kick in.







June was a quiet month, mid winter and it was a time to do some home decorating. Luckily, this only meant that we needed to put some pictures on the wall, to make the place more homely.







July started off with a short break to Albany. Albany is a 4.5 hour drive away and famous for whale watching. Unfortunately, the weather got the better of us, and we couldn't go out on a boat to spot the whales, but we did go to the whale museum and the wildlife park.

July also meant that Clare got a part time job at Harry's school She now teaches various year groups on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Along with this, she also does supply work at the school. At the end of the month, we had our first visitor, Clare's friend Jeannette came to stay for a week. She survived our hospitality, so what's your excuse for not visiting!!!!!!!!!!

August is the last month of winter, Harry has just returned from cub camp. He has also been in the school cross country team and has entered a state wide Maths competition, in which we are expecting the results in the next few weeks. The best scores then go forward to a national competition.

Anyway, that's all really. Its been a quiet 3 months. My mum and dad arrive in 10 days time, so there will be plenty of photos and good times ahead!
