Afternoon all.
Mrs M, I do not think discussing your knocker online is a good career move - Shall we presume the new porch is stood standing now? Have you christened it with your first Jehovah?
CCU Mr Steele? Tell Lairdy it stands for Cut Cigarettes, Ugly.
Yes, we got to hear all the Aussie's celebrating their one win at the World Cup At 1 am. And at 3 am and all the repeats since on TV. Yaaawn.
The sun has finally appeared and is due to stay for the rest of the week. Yesterday we took the Sydney Harbour ferry across to the zoo and had a slow mooch about. Not big fans of zoo's normally but had to see the Kanga's, Playpuss's's's and such like as there are not too many of those about in Sydney city. Trish got chased by an emu which I found very funny and she, er, didn't. Trish took her second cable car trip of the holiday and still claims to be scared of heights even though I caught her looking out of the window.
5 seconds after this picture was taken Trish began running downthe path with the emu in hot pursuit. I suspect it saw itself in my camera lens and saw a rival and, unfortunately, Trish was between us. The other photo shows that the Sydney Zoo breeding programme is going well...

Does anybody fancy a genuine crocodile handbag (okay, it maybe an alligator.) You get the skin and I'll find a tanner...
Our hotel is at the edge of the business district so when we go walkabout (See? Talking Aussie-ese already!) we pass lots of suited boring farts muttering into their mobiles and looking at their shoes. The friendliest people are those from outside the city and ex-pats who hear our accents. We wandered to the cinema last night to watch the Da Vinci Code. Okay kind of film but if you have not read the book first then you are buggered (Trish's words).
Today we had planned to take a train up into the Blue Mountains but decided last night sur le duvet that we were knackered and have re-planned for tomorrow.
Thanks for the baad joke Sarah...we think...
Adios amigos.
Paul and Trish.

I so hope you meet Cultural Attache Sir Les Patterson while you are out there.
Here is a Sir Les joke:
Q. What do you do if a bird sh*ts on your windscreen?
A. You don't take her out again.
And have you tried out the Australian chat up line (on Trish)?
Q. Fancy a f*ck?
A. No.
Q. D'ya mind lying there while I have one?
And Australian foreplay:
Are you awake?
Well, as jokes seem to be the order of the day, and as you are in foreign parts, and as food seems to figure importantly in your travels, and as a friend has left the Uxbridge English Dictionary at mine, thought I’d go to the foreign words and phrases section.
