Arrived safely at Perth after an overdose on airport stress. Tight connections and missing luggage as a result but in the end it worked out all right.I even made $100 in beer and wine profit.
The summer temps are starting to pump up the mercury here - sadly Scotland tuggs back at me with the remnants of a chest infection so I had to go see a Doctor. Its been on me for ages but what is it about men - we just soldier on without complaining!
I bought a great wee bike - very old but in its prime it would have been an expensive bike - its been well looked after. Very light and perfect for the great cycling here. However i have become the bike repair man with my hosts bike needing a new tube as well as mine as it popped off as i tried to pump it up.
Down By The Sea was amazing yesterday. Australia is very different outdoors to a walk up a subzero hill in Scotland! I'm struggling to say how great it is to be at the beach here. Its very hot, 33 yesterday and bright and the water is warm. And its gorgeous. What more could you ask for.
I met Mr Apocalypse on the beach - Dave bemoaning the poorer attitude and parochial outlook on the west compared to his native east coast. His real points were all about sinking cities as they suck up the water beneath, rising sea levels driving mass exodus from Indonesia to Australia. However I did manage to outdo him at a few points.
Well i better go i don't want to spend my holiday blogging dood.
I was highly amused btw at the doctors receptionists advice about antibiotics; she stops taking them as soon as she starts feeling better. I wonder if the east coast receptionists are as clever.
