Week 1 - Shop til you drop

This week could be summed up by the term ”Shop til you drop”. Monday we went shopping to buy the necessities that we hadn’t brought with us. Also it was something to do to keep us awake. Tuesday we went to Garden City to again help us stay awake & also to get some relief from the heat. Wednesday I had a migraine, so we spent the day at home resting. Thursday we headed to Indropilly Shopping Centre, a big shopping centre with 3 levels of shops. It was lovely spending the day out of the heat & in air con. Friday we spent the morning visiting with my aunty, cousins & second cousins. Then we went to Koorong (Christian Book store). Saturday afternoon was my friend Julie’s wedding. It was a lovely wedding, the dresses were beautiful, the weather was great, & I (Alison) also got to catch up with a few people I hadn’t seen for a while.

As for jetlag Joshua adjusted without much problem at all. He basically just slept it off, sleeping most of the time for the first 2 days. There was only one day where he woke 4am bright & cheery & ready to start the day. Tom & I took 3 days to really feel like we were over it, however we've been going to bed at 8/8:30pm most nights unable to stay awake any longer. We think it may be because of the heat. Temperatures have been 30 or above everyday.

  1. You are the ones that insist that you only want to visit in summer, because you want it to be hot.

  2. ...and who did Julie marry? I didn't even know she was engaged - Mum and dad obviously forgot to tell me about that one.

  3. That's the advantage of being on Facebook. I find out so much info about what people are up to in their lives. Julie married a guy named Matthew (don't know him). He's from Innisvale originally.
