ok, so we made it home safe and sound. and after a couple of weeks of 5am starts, have reverted back to more reasonable hours. The last few days in Australia were great. Sorry to anyone we didn't get a chance to catch up with over easter, we spent most of our time with family, and eating more seafood/sushi/thai etc.
Most importantly we didn't miss spring. we got back to about 25 degrees for the first week, and even now it has only cooled down to about 20 degrees. the canola is in flower making Oxfordshire a gorgeous patchwork of bright yellow, brown and that lovely spring green of new growth. the last of the daffodils are brightening up our drive, and we have stands of big red tulips livening up the front dirt patch. Adam has designated this weekend as the weekend to turn that dirt patch into a garden. and it is light until after 8pm at night, which is just lovely.
Seymour and Nibbler are good. They had forgotten us, but they remembered once we fed them some fresh meat. surprise. I have been organising a conference for the last year, which was held last week and seemed to go very well. so now there is more time for gardening...

oh and apparently we stole england's rain and brought it to Oz, because there has been no rainfall in April yet over here. And a whole month without rain would be an extremely rare thing. hello hose pipe bans.
Thank god you posted again finally! Every time I checked your blog to see if you'd posted again, I'd see the bloody headline and have 'It's a hard knock life for us' stuck in my head for the rest of the day. As if that's not bad enough, I only know that line, so it was twice as annoying as it should have been.
So next time, can you try and choose a song that I know more of the words to? Thanks!
Glad to hear your trip was good. And isn't the weather awesome over this side of the world at the moment!
Al, perhaps you could provide some guidelines. considering for the next month our main activities will be enjoying the unseasonably warm weather with gardening, bbqs, beer drinking etc the range of titles can be a bit limited - raindrops on roses, oompahpa, in my little garden now promise you won't laugh, Everybody wants to dance in a playpen but nobody wants to play in my garden...
Does it have to be from a musical? Not being a musicals fan, that severely limits the range... I was thinking more along the lines of the Lucksmiths (T-Shirt weather), the Beatles (Here comes the Sun) or the Pixies (Digging for Fire)... I hope this helps you and I will only have good songs stuck in my head in future!
