I Still Call Australia Home!!

Hey people!
We are having an awesome time here in London, although we are still to find jobs which is providing the only downer on our spirits. The weather is even treating us well - we are seeing sunshine which neither of us expected in the middle of a London winter. Home life is going great - we just need to get jobs and we will be sweet.
So it was Australia Day on Saturday and we had a fantastic day. It started at the local Walkabout at midday, where the beer flowed and the free hats were a bonus! We then moved on to Imbibe Bar and the No Sleeves party, and spent the rest of the night singing and dancing to some classic Aussie music (including emotional renditions of Walzing Matilda, True Blue and I Still Call Australia Home.) Below are some happy snaps.
Hope everyone had a great day too. We are looking forward to our next trip, which will be Winchester in Hampshire the weekend before our birthdays. Will keep you posted!

Living In England

Hi Everyone,
Apologies that it has been so long since our last post. We had a nice time in Latvia and a great New Years in Helsinki. Snow proved to be scarce, even though it was bitterly cold most of the time. We managed to get tickets to see an ice hockey match in Helsinki, which was good. We are now back in London and settling in fast to the very nice place we are living in. We have both got the ball rolling in terms of job hunting - keep your fingers crossed for us! We are going to Ireland for St Patricks Day in March and Gallipoli for Anzac Day, and are planning to take a trip in Feb for our birthdays (have yet to decide where - it's a hard life!!) Hope everyone is doing well, best wishes for 08.
