The Road Not Taken

I am now in Oz. I am staying at Cathys house near Lake Macquarie north of Sydney. Sorry the blog entries ran dry but I was sick in NZ and went to the doctor here in Oz who told me I had Bronchitis and Asthma so I am on antibiotics and an inhaler! It sux!

It is lovely and warm here, in contrast to the variable NZ weather. I have already been eaten alive by mossies who seem to have a predeliction for biting me on my arse!

I have my own room here and Cathy makes the best muffins so I am on tea and coffee and muffins to aid my recovery. Cathy has a little dog called Bridie and her daughter Leanne has two big dogs called Lizzy and Moss. It is nice to have dgs around again. Bridie is small so you can pick her up and pet her, she is cute.

I must plan for my next portion of my trip. I will be going back to NZ for a visit to see some friends soon (yes Robin that means you). I was planning for New Year as I hate new year and it would be good to be with some fun folk for that but my debilitating (yeah right) illness makes me think it will be more like the first week in January.

So it will be Christmas and new year with my Aussie family. Cathys daughter and husband and two kids live right next door. In fact Bridget just popped in to say she was off to get some lunch for her Dad and everyone so I will be over there soon to chow down.

I will miss my UK family on Christmas day but my Aussie family are great so even though I am at deaths door (big baby) I will still have a good time.

Back to the iron lung then………..(such a bad patient)….
