Spring...it's surfing right up!

In Sydney already; sunny this time round!
Was sitting on the lawn at UNSW this morning and I got a singlet tan alr HAHAHA.
Imagine how powerful that is...... I don't tan very easily at all!
It's not that warm though if there's no sunshine; temp ranges from around 16degrees in the morning to about 23 max?
Air is still very dry and I'm still depending daily on an old faithful: Claratyne!
Broke out in an itchy rash upon arrival but I'm all sorted now, thank goodness :)
Terence and I flew in together (he transited for a day in SG before we left, having come from Weymouth England where he was competing) and it was a rather bumpy plane ride towards the end.
I dunno if you all have heard about Sydney's red skies and so on.. weather not being too friendly.
I think it was storming when we flew in, which caused our plane to keep circling around australia. Air traffic was very heavy probably due to visibility troubles, so we were delayed for a good half hour. During which, I might add, there was quite bad turbulence and when once I thought the plane lights came on again, it turned out to be a flash of lightning. Gahhhhhhh imagine that.
Was so, so scared. Terence was bored though, which helped me a little I guess. He tried his darndest to calm me down by talking to me, asking me to kiss him and so on...... But I was NOT to be comforted at all. Haha.. was being quite difficult at that moment, so THANK YOU TERENCE :)
So far we haven't done anth exciting; he's trying to sleep off the jet lag and I'm also sleeping alot in accordance. Haha.. Been cooking up a storm and watching dvds. I lovedddd sofia coppola's poptastic version of Marie Antoinette! And dear was sharp enough to spot a pair of converse sneakers in the midst of all that fancy footwear she collected! HAHA! wonder what that was supposed to mean.. Perhaps a metaphorical cameo by the director herself, which is really cool!
Also watched the film adaptation of my favourite book, Frankenstein. Naturally, nothing like Mary Shelley's amazing amazing work but I thought it was a good enough representation :)
Am glad to be back in the land of Arnott's Montes (a fantabulous chocolate coated biscuit!!), Solo (an almost-better-than-Coke spritzy lemonade drink) and no house lizards.
Also, Terence and I were at Myer, Target and David Jones that day and do you know what's up?????????? CHRISTMAS is up!!!!!!!!!!! Trims are for sale already, with the all essential baubles, stockings and even cards as well!
Am a happy lark :)
