Where to start, gosh a lot has occurred since my last blog, doesn't time fly?
I can't really believe that it is March, how did that happen I wonder.

Today marked my return to work, but that's not the exciting bit so maybe I should take you back in time and recount the exciting and fearless adventures of Leah and El ...

Friday before last I guess was where the fun started, the 20th of February - It was our last day of work and so we thought we'd go out for a drink or two, as you can imagine we headed to our local bar, the bar where all the staff know us and all the locals are friendly and I can now engage in friendly banter with any of them for an hour or two without even buying a drink!
El had planned to go to a club with some of her work colleagues and being that I'm not really into clubs I thought I'd finish my beer and head home for a quiet night in and a good book.

These things never work out really do they? I ended up chatting to one of the locals, a 50 year old guy named Dec, he works in the local restaurant as a head chef and has the most incredible hobbies, like Rav jumping ( running down/ or jumping down the front of buildings ) skydiving into the sea and other such extreme activities. The local bar staff ensured I had a drink at all times and at 3.30 am when they closed the bar I got to hang out with them and pull my own pints!! I had such a fun night, as did El but we both felt pretty poorly the next day!!

Saturday was a day of total relaxation - apart from the small amount of cleaning we had to do for Rachel and Helie's arrival.

Sunday the girls arrived - El met them from Southern Cross and then we went for breakfast and a catch up, they did so well and managed to stay awake till 8pm and we did put them through their paces, we took them to the fruit and veg market, to the shops, to the bar, and then cooked vegetarian lasagna.. poor little things.

I was pretty Ill at this point, I lost my balance felt like the room was spinning and felt permanently as if I was going to vomit - it was pretty horrible, so while they were in town, eating dinner in the docklands and basically purchasing every item of clothing that Melbourne has ever produced I was lying on the sofa feeling pretty poorly!

Every night I did however enjoy the " look what I brought" section of the evening, I loved it even more when they brought me presents!!

I went to the Dr's on Tuesday and they gave me some medicine which restored the world to it's correct stillness. This was pretty fortunate as on the Wednesday we were setting off for Apollo Bay and our 3 night holiday house.

I really would like to tell you all about it but I have to run on home now.. or at least to meet the others in the pub for a swift half, but tomorrow I promise to tell you all about our adventures, I may even have some photo's for you !!

Much love to you all

Leah and El xx
