The mystery of the missing passport has been solved, it’s finally been delivered to the correct destination! I’m very glad I didn’t cancel it. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the new one arrives.
Another busy week, which started off with a trip to Rottnest.

I had a lovely catch up with my friends for dinner at one of our favourite restaurants overlooking the sea. There was a fabulous sunset that evening.



On Saturday we said goodbye to Laurence and Maddy as it was time for them to head back to Melbourne. It was wonderful that they had three weeks in Perth with us, but all good things come to an end.
I’m writing this from Singapore Airport, where I’m enroute to the UK. I flew Singapore Airlines from Perth and then Emirates to the UK. I thought I could check my luggage all the way through, but no! I ended up having to go through immigration, collect my case and back through again, what a pain as I’m travelling with a small cupboard.
Luckily I’ve been standing next to chunky men to help me with it! Actually it’s a ploy to cast my eyes around as to where to stand.
I’m off to visit my parents and to celebrate my mum’s 90th birthday. The change in weather is going to be aa shock, probably why my case is so heavy due to all the jumpers.
Anyway I’d better finish as will be boarding soon.

I’m glad you’re bringing jumpers as it’s turned really cold over here – we may even have snow! Looking forward to seeing you 😀

Glad you made it over OK. Have a great time. Won’t be down south for awhile apart from Stansted Airport later this week so unfortunately can’t arrange a meet up, but hopefully we can meet sometime, that would be nice.

It usually feels warmer there because it’s a dry cold not a horrid damp one like here!
