A Quick Update... (Sian)

We seem to have stopped writing so much as our lives in Melbourne get more and more "normal!" This is a quick over veiw of what we have been up to - Finally went to a great club in Prahan, it was a brilliant night with one of the best DJ's I have heard. We've been working a bit, going to the gym and frequenting the Shanghai Dumpling and noodle house rather alot! The highlight of the most recent weekend was Steve's birthday party (photo's to follow) Which was great fun! Amanda managed to down a bottle of wine, we all drank some rather strange shots with schnapps and Baileys and all got rather sozzled! The next day was a complete right off, Steve and I spent the whole day watching DVD's!
Melbourne hosted the AFL grand final on Saturday, a rather strange game with a round pitch, an odd shaped ball and lots of muscly men. As our favourite team were wiped out of the game last week, we didn't watch it. However we could not escape football fever, as whenever we turn on the radio or Tv, or open a news paper it is all there!
It is less than a week now until we will be off on our travels again, that'll be great fun. Mrs Glenny will be here in 3 days hopefully not suffering from too much Jet Lag. Updates to follow...

Ouch, My Knees!!! (Sian)

Yesterday we drove for 3.5 hours to Mount Buller where we snow boarded for the first time. I was very nervous and scared! The fist time up the chair lift I flunked out, and waited and the bottom of the hill for Steve who fell most of the way down to come and save me! We decided to take a lesson and for 2 hours I managed to get down the hill slowly ungraciously, and backwards! For some reason the only way I could stand up was by facing the wrong way and then couldn't get the confidence to turn around again! Steve was brilliant and the best in our class by far, he soon mastered it and was sliding down the hill in no time.
Today I ache in muscles I never knew I had, but feel it was worth it. It's ashame the season has ended here as I am sure we would make our way back out for more torture! (There's always next year...)
I am really surprised that we could ski in Australia, I thought it was a warm country! Think we'll head down to the coast and check out surfing soon!
