Football fever!

Well, watching World Cup games at 4.30am certainly seems to have more disadvantages than advantages!
We watched the England v USA game at Cheers bar in the city. With about 200 England fans, 30-odd Americans had no hope of out chanting us - even with the 10 random Scottish guys who were there just to annoy the English!! Here is a video that Julia took of the rowdy behaviour (look out for my boob shot at the end!).
The following week was the first of my meat raffle wins at our regular Tuesday pub quiz night (I have won the meat tray two more times since!) So we had a few people over for a bbq and then headed over to Darling harbour to FanFest to watch the Socceroos v Ghana... ok so that didn't end particularly well for the Aussies, but it was a great atmosphere anyway!

Its been a real struggle to watch games as the earliest ones were 12.30 and some were 4am! I guess thats the silver lining to England's RUBBISH World Cup!
So Londoners, fear not, assuming England qualify for Euro 2012, we will try and be home to watch it there rather than here!

Bye for now

Wheels and visitors


We have a car!!
It all happened quite suddenly, but within a week of our first test drive, we drove home our new car!
The idea is that we are going to see more of Sydney, and eventually Australia... we will keep you updated on that ..!


May is also Sham's birthday month, and this year, he had his best friend Ajay and his cousin Asha and her hubby Nik here to help him celebrate! We partied like we were 21 even though it was the tenth anniversary of Sham's actual 21st! The night ended in the same way lots of Sham's birthdays tend to - with him being asked to leave! Luckily for us, we were near the infamous Pancakes On The Rocks, so we managed to get fed before getting home.


We had a lovely breakfast the next morning cooked by Nik and Ash - just what we needed!



Having visitors here gave us an excuse to do all the touristy things that we haven't done for a while. We went back to Manly for the day - this was the first time I have been there since we moved last October!



It was really nice to have people from home here and it was sad to see the kids go!
There are no visitors booked yet... no pressure guys, but who is coming over next?!

Shahs in London!

We came, we ate, we drank, we shopped, I worked, we saw you guys (most of you!) and we left!

After all the excitement of coming home, its crazy how quickly it all went, but what's crazier is that after being back for two weeks, it feels like we have never been away!

So we have a few things to look forward to now we are back:

- Sham's cousin Asha and her hubby Nik are here in Oz and will be back with us for a few weeks in May;
- We are buying a car! Nothing decided yet, but watch this space!
- We are going to be an aunty and uncle - our friends Chris and Helen are having a baby thats due in October!

We have a busy few months, but its ok, cos we are home now!

I promise to update a little more regularly though as I know I have been a bit slack!

Bye for now
