A post for a general update really, for the few people that actually do check up on this site to see where we’re at. This was a big week, so thought I might write down what’s going on in this part of the Northern hemisphere!
As most of you probably know, I was never a big person for weddings. That was, of course, until I got married myself! Now I am completely obsessed - I love going to weddings, seeing photos of weddings and have asked Kim countless times to come with me to wedding expos - since our wedding 
But the best part about weddings is, of course, seeing your friends and family tie the knot.
We spent a beautiful weekend in Porto, Portugal and lapped up the sun and extended daylight! We used to always think the Pomms were crazy wearing t-shirts when it hit 12 degrees… until we did the exact same thing along the river bank in Porto!
Yeah, yeah, mock us all you like… it was hot ok! Probably not as hot as in Melbourne over the last month or so, but the middle of winter in London is damn chilly! Read the rest of this entry »
Since moving to London it seems nearly impossible to escape the constant scrubbing of lime scale. The hard water here makes cleaning a real B****. With new chrome fittings in the bathroom it has turned out to be a real nightmare/obsession of a job. After trying 4 different lime scale destroying products but after 30 minutes with each and very little results I was about to give up.
Being male, classically known as being lazy, I am proud to say that my laziness and ability to search Google efficiently has proven to be very successful in not only saving a lot of sore arms, but my new lime scale “destroyer” is much much cheaper than any cleaning product. So Google here I come - no more elbow grease. Read the rest of this entry »
We had a great time in the gorgeous city of Frankfurt with our bestest buddy Guy to celebrate Australia Day! My favourite place in Europe (thus far) and not for any specific reason, but maybe because it felt so much like Melbourne… or just the great company

We went away this weekend to Oxford. Although we’re sure there is plenty to do there other than check out the many many colleges and uni’s, the highlight for us was the Boost Juice Bar we found in a shopping mall - all the way from Australia! Needless to say, we had a few during our stay It felt like we were at home! *sigh* the things you miss while away from home…
A huge congratulations to THE brainiac… Vi Anh earned herself a WHOPPING 98.2 ENTER score! Well done kiddo, you might be crazy, but you’re still intelligent Enjoy the celebrations and the benefits that your endless hardwork will deliver. If anyone deserves it, you do! Now you can get your head out of your books and party!! Congratulations!!!
Well after a lot of research, paper work, stress and waiting, we finally have our passports back and Kim is now a resident! Glad that I put in the many hours of research, we now have the ability to travel Europe which is, of course, one of the reasons we are over here. It was so hard to hear all our friends off and travelling every other weekend or planning a trip at the last minute. Now we can finally join in! Read the rest of this entry »
Who goes to Scotland in Winter, you might ask? A couple of Aussies who have no passports and a week of holidays to use before December, that’s who! We made our way to Scotland by train for a week of climate conditioning, which ended up making London seem quite toasty
