california dreams

How can you not love California, hey?  A place where dreams are realised and fulfilled.  Fun loving people and all that gorgeous coastline.  Here’s our little slice of California dreaming…

[The last couple of weeks in Brisbane have been particularly exhausting and difficult, unbearable because  hubby was 2000 kilometres away.

Western wind, when wilt thou blow,
The small rain down can rain?
Christ, if my love were in my arms
And I in my bed again!
Oxford Book of 16th Century Verse

We are so thankful for affordable airfares to Adelaide.  Now we are both in each other's arms again, but not here for long... We are making our way back to Brisbane.

san francisco

Nine years ago, I came to San Francisco to visit a childhood friend.  Someone I used to walk to school with.  We really only had vague memories of each other but by the time we found out we weren’t even in the same class at Easter School, we’ve become new best friends.

[Nine years onwards,  and Amy, it is great to be back again.  Thank you for inviting us to be part of an important day in your life.   We appreciate the time you took off of your crazy-busy wedding preparations to be with us and to take care of things for our time there.  It was fun to meet your girlfriends and get dolled up for your day.  It was very cool to introduce husbands into the circle of friendship.

So we might have to gag and bind Augie to get him outside of "Metropolis" but we definitely look forward to spending time with the both of you again ...soon!
