My flight is now booked to go back home to Australia so I am spending as much as possible with my gang before I have to leave them.

Yum Cha

This Sunday I went for a Sunday brunch Yum Cha at Shark Fin Inn. It was not my usual Sunday morning feed of eggs but it made a really nice change and people were queuing at 11am waiting for them to open.

chill factore,snowplay

Chill Factore

I had a fun-filled day today with lots of laughs with my nephew at Chill Factore. It is home to the UK's longest indoor skiing and snowboarding slope. The picture basically sums up the whole day, he started off full of energy and played then had a rest, ate ice cream and fell asleep in the car on the way home.

Chino Latino

I would guess I am now fully recovered after being ill last week and then missing my dinner on Friday night as since Saturday I just can not stop eating.

Coffee Machine

Coffee Machine

I had to go into work this morning, yes it was a Saturday. I was supposed to be kicking things off from home and then making my way into the office whilst I waited for other people to do their tasks but I had a blond moment when I woke up and forgot my password and subsequently locked my account dooh.

Waltzing Matilda

Waltzing Matilda

This was the last part of my Australian Citizenship Ceremony, Waltzing Matilda and Waving of Flags, sung by all and led by Richard Thomas, who had an amazing voice and sung with lots of passion. Sorry for the poor quality but I have reduced the file down to a low quality as I did not think you needed to see a HD version of us singing.

Aus vs Arg

PR Visa

I think the reason I am not updating this website as regularly as I used to is all down to FaceBook, although I wish people would stop sending me links to useless applications. There are far to many developers out there with nothing better to do. Last week I reached the final stage of my permanent residency application to Australia, I now need to go offshore to an Australian Embassy to find out if it has been approved. On Monday I am going to fly to New Zealand so fingers crossed I will be back by the weekend as a permanent resident of Australia and only 12months away from my dual passport.
