Firstly, big apologies for not updating this blogs for what seems like months. Actually, I think it has been months!
Secondly, welcome to 2011, our first full year to be enjoyed on the West Coast of Australia - very excited about this!
Not that much has happened over the last couple of months, though there have been a couple of events that are probably more interesting to tell you about.
Just before Christmas, Grace had a concert at Kindy, which all the mums attended. Very cute, with lots of triangle playing and the like.
On the way out, whilst carrying Aggie and holding Grace's hand, I walked straight into a swarm of bees - apparently they have a nest in one of the trees at the back of kindy.
Christ, it was terrifying. I screamed at the girls to run away and a couple of the parents grabbed them and looked after them. I could see Grace screaming and this mom was swatting bees off of her.
I, however, couldn't escape them. They were in my hair, inside my dress, just everywhere. :-( I was stung countless times, mostly on the face and scalp with a few on my chest and back.
I've never been so frightened in my entire life and still have no idea why they attacked me - thank god it wasn't one of the kindy children though.
On a lighter note, Paul and I (and recently arrived Pom, Kevin) went to see U2 at the Subiaco Oval. We saw the 360 degree tour in Glasgow last year, but it was so fabby that it was really no hardship to watch it again. Bono didn't disappoint and was his usual modest self - ahem......
To update you all on our weather, as I know that all the English readers like to be pissed off at our current enjoyment of sunshine, it's around 40 degrees most days and unbearably hot!
So happy new year to you all - wishing everyone a safe and happy 2011. (and I promise to update more!)
