Hi folks, hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas / New Years celebrations.The last 3 weeks Esther and I have been back in Brisbane catching up with our families / friends etc. We had planned to spend 4 days on Stradbroke Island with friends and also some more time at the beach, but for those of you who wern't in Brisbane around Christmas - it just didn't stop raining! It was apparently sometime to do with a small cyclone up the coast - but it resulted in the strangest Christmas ever.
We were still able to catch up with a few people and spent plenty of time with family, but it was definitely not quite how we had planned it. It was also not helped by Esther being quite unwell for a large part of our time, she might have become allergic to Australia! Anyway - we're back now and the skies of London are clear again.
Today is also my Birthday where I can now officially say that I'm the wrong side of 25! Its been a good day so far with fantastic weather, we went and saw the 2008 Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition which once again did not disappoint. We then checked out around Harrods and walked around Hyde Park to High Street Kensington. We then lugged almost 40kg of bookshelf for what seemed like centuries back to our house and are now planning to go out with a few people to my favourite riverside pub "The Dove" for some dinner etc.
Thats all from me, our next trip is in a few weeks to Tampere in Finland.. could be rather brisk I think..
