Snow in the UK...36 degrees in Adelaide!

Wow - great pictures of snowy England on the BBC website! I miss not listening to "Snowline" on the rubbish local BBC radio station, hoping that my school will be closed (and yes, I'm speaking of the adult Carla!)

The opposite is true here - the last couple of weeks have seen the temerature hit 36 degrees a couple of times. The rest of the time has just been lovely and hot. We've spent quite a bit of time in our friends' pool and have almost plucked up the courage to go for a dip in the sea. Although it is hot, it's not at all humid which is great.


(Sorry - no sound...we'll work on it for future film epics!)

We went to see Justin Timberlake in concert on the 3rd November which was fab. It was a great concert and we boogied the night away.I know I'm gettng old though - I had to put tissue in my ears because the screams of the girlies was so loud it hurt. (yes, that is Justin Timberlake, not a ghost)

I (Carla) had a really bad bout of tonsilitus which made me feel really awful. My left tonsil was so swollen it was touching the epiglotis! I had the cold sweats for a couple of days but had a great nurse (Andy) so am feeling better now.
There's not really a lot more to say - life in Adelaide is beginning to feel 'normal' as we are settling down so much more. We still haven't got a landline or internet at home. This is because the incredibly effiicient phone line people took 4 weeks to come out and connect us up only to connect the wrong house...twice! Unbelievable. Come back BT, all is forgiven!
Take care & wrap up warm (LOL) x
