It is a long weekend in Australia as Monday is a public holiday for the Queens birthday and it is the start of the World Cup.

This weekend was ANZAC day and for the first time since I came to Australia it fell on a weekend so we missed out on a public holiday.

Welcome Twitters who should now be seeing this. read more

Monday was a public holiday in Australia to celebrate the Queens 2nd birthday. It is quite funny as the reason for the 2nd birthday is for the British to celebrate when it is warm, the UK ignores it and Australia has the day off. I purchased an expresso maker and some very cool glasses which make your drink hover in the middle so the cup is not hot when you pick it up. read more

We are going through a with temperatures reaching 35 Celsius which is 95 Fahrenheit to the British. On Sunday I went to Brighton beach to escape the heat and discovered I had forgotten my cream, not very clever but I managed to do 4 hours before having to escape back to my flat before I fried but the sea was so lovely and calm I could have spent all night there. I kept comparing it to a Sunday in Manchester or a Sunday on a beach recovering from the ... read more

On Sunday the temperature rose to 110 so getting to the beach was not even an option, so i locked myself in my flat, put the air con on and watched tv all day. I discover after that Charlize Theron was there but I missed her :( I watched NO.8 seed Justine Henin-Hardenne's beat Lindsay Davenport in the quarter-finals and watched some of Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis and Croatian Ivan Ljubicic. The mens match was almost like a football match, with a strong Greek and Croatian community here they ... read more
