BACK HOME

We are now back home after a wonderful trip to see Jonny and H in Oz.Below are some pictures of where they live and views from their balcony and from just across the road.I'm sure you would agree that it doesn't get much better,and no wonder they have chosen to live there for the immediate future.We had a great trip and saw a lot of Sydney as well as visiting Ayers Rock and Cairns.I will publish some more photos shortly,and will include those that Jonny has left out.Of course whilst we were in Oz Matt was in the States having hired a plane with a friend.His exploits can be seen on his blog.www.mattslearningtofly.blogspot.com.
So one or two observations and questions 1.How come you can fly 12500 miles to OZ and 12500 miles back and the plane arrives within 2 minutes of its scheduled time on each occasion,but if you want to get a bus to Kings Lynn which is only 16 miles away it is invariably late at the pickup and also the destination.2 If you buy DVT stockings before a long haul flight don't be fooled into thinking that you are going to find them easy to put on.The instructions sound easy but the actual doing is a nightmare.Believe me there is no easy way unless of course you are a lithe supple young thing which I am not and neither is Lynn.In truth all your dignity goes out the window as you wrestle with the damn things.Do they do any good?A few trips to the loo to stretch your legs might be just as good.3.Why do surfers always run everywhere,across the road,across the grass,across the sand,weird,its as if they think the waves are suddenly going to disappear.Finally before we went away I posted a blog in which I said Iliked weeding,well having been away for almost a month I now hate weeding.The allotment was like a jungle, and still is despite our best efforts.If there were prizes for the greatest variety and tallest weeds we would surely win.Oh and Lyn has now taken up golf,so thats something else to wrestle with.
