This is just a mid-festive season update to let you know I'm well and that nothing of note has really changed since the last one. In other words it's a waste of your time and mine, but then probably only one of us could be on the beach right now, so stop complaining.
We were out again last night, Manly again, which I can't help thinking reminds me of Llandudno.
It is scorching outside, probably the hottest day since I arrived. I've still not gone surfing, which is embarrassing to admit, but the sea is good to swim in and the beach is phenomenal. I think I could be in the throws of mid-conversion to beach bum.
The place is very British, with the typical British 18 - 22 stupidity, which can be both entertaining and a little embarrassing. Someone actually tried to boil an electric kettle by putting it on the hob on Christmas Day, setting the thing on fire. Some people have moved out because the place gets so riotous, but if you book into a Sydney hostel at this time of year you've got to expect that sort of thing.
I'll be at the Harbour on New Year's Eve, watching the fireworks drinking Goon, the local delicacy, a white wine made with fish and eggs (I kid you not, it says so on the bottle). And have a date with a very nice Dutch girl on New Year's Day. Hope you all have a great New Years.

Hi Gareth. Love hearing about all about your travels and all that warmth and sunshine. Can't think why it leaves me so depressed. as the temp hits - 2 outside here.
Have a happy New Year
Love Karen and Dilwyn
Think I may give Goon a miss but the beach and sea I'm quite envious of.
Have a fantastic New Year and look forward to reading your adventures in 2009.
Love Karen and Elwyn(currently mid South Pacific) XX
