Happy Australia Day...
 To all our friends (especially my new Aussie puppals at Dogster.com), get your flags out and wave them proud, crank up the radio (Hottest 100), throw a shrimp on the barby (but don't
forget to let a couple fall off), put the beers on ice, and celebrate everything Australian!

Life's a Beach...
 We're back at Corindi; Kree's getting ready to start work on the weekend and is having lessons on the ride-on today...God
help us all! (She bought a push mower while we were at Bello to keep our 'plot' tidy...seriously, the girl's got problems.)
Check out my new 'front yard'.
New Doona...
 Another week, another new doona cover...and opportunity for me to make my presence felt. Of course my motivation's completely
selfless...juuust testing it out to make sure it's comfy.

Kree here...
I recently made the mistake of admitting that
I never got into Star Wars/Trek/Gate, and was asked by another traveller if I had an imagination. (Evidently
in Stargate, 'Kree' is used by Goa'uld, Jaffa and Tok'ra to call their men to attention...hmmm, my friends
might see some irony in that.) Anyway, I said I'd get hold of the entire series and
watch every episode over the next twelve months! Gareth, if you're reading this, there are ten boxed DVD sets
at a lazy 90 bucks each, so this little bet is going to cost me close to a thousand. Now, if only I had
an imagination...I wouldn't need to watch them :-)

Krusty and the Big Top...
 The circus is in town (we're in Coffs Harbour for the night) and I'm thinking it's just as well we've got the job
in Corindi to go to. Kree's threatening to run off and join the 'carney folk' and I'm sweating that my new travel
buddies are going to have size 14 feet and manes! She couldn't do it to me...could she?

Itchy feet....
Literally! I've got a rash people and I'm quite happy to
let Kree think it's from the lack of salt water over the last few weeks. Just as well we're heading back to Corindi
on the weekend...she's landed two days a week helping them at the holiday park. Surf's up!

The New Year: a time for reflection ...
Kree says this year we're focussing on some personal growth (which in my case might mean anger management
classes). So on that basis, a very happy new year to all our friends, old and new (apart from the two blue heelers that
arrived at the park this arve)! Okay, so it's going to take some time.
