So I am writing this because I wanted to communicate with Gary. He doesn't have skype, you know :)

......I saw Kick Ass a couple of weeks ago! I thought it was great too. Mum you definitely need to watch it. It has boys in capes in it :)

Sorry to have missed Lucy on skype this weekend :( but will definitely try and catch you this week.

My dress I have ordered for the wedding has been delayed. O dear. This may be a problem. It's been designed by Nicole Ritchie (Lionel's adopted daughter and American socialite). So if we can all just keep our fingers crossed that she stops doing whatever American socialites do and pulls her finger out and sends it to me, then it'll be alright :)

So I did the Microlighting yesterday. It was good. But not as daredevil as I expected. So next is hang gliding... and then... tandem skydive... eek!

Hope all is well... not long now til I'm home... wooppee!

Here is dress number 2... it's on pre-order, so I am hoping that it arrives in time for me to receive it before I fly home and that it fits/looks good. Fingers crossed.

The other picture is of people Microlighting. It looks like I'll be doing this a week on Saturday.
There is a place down south from here where you can do it. You fly across the coast line.

3 weeks til I come home! Yippee! I hear mum and dad are flying business class to Oz next year. Wowsers! That should be fun. I am travelling in the hold of the airplane when I come home... ;)

In case you have forgotten what I look like, here is a picture of me taken when I was doing the Barossa Half Marathon a few months back.
I took part in the City to Bay Fun Run last weekend (12km or 7.5miles). Finished in 58mins. So at least I got in under the hour, but would like to shave a couple of minutes off that next time. I've got some work to do! :)
Less than 4 weeks til I come home... yippee!

Did two things this weekend that I have never done before.....

On Friday night I went to watch a Muay Thai fight... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muay_Thai

and on Sunday I went out with a friend on the back of his motorcycle into the Adelaide Hills. We visited this microbrewery, which was really good. If mum and dad make it over, I visit there would be a good day out... http://www.ahcb.com.au/

I went out for a night out on Saturday night.... and bumped into someone I went to school with! He lives in Adelaide with his Australian girlfriend. His name is Scott. I didn't know him at school, but started chatting with him because he was wearing a kilt. I asked him what part of Scotland he was from and just about died when he said Banchory! Small world! :)

So I overcame my avoidance towards dancing this week and tried out Zumba for the first time! This is a latin insprired dance class, that involves lots of butt shaking. My friend assured me that I did not look like a giraffe having an epileptic fit! :)
I also tried Body Jam which is a hip hop style dance class. And I expect that I was equally proficient at this!
But I will persevere...!
Aside from this Gary and Carole's invitation to the wedding arrived. Phew! So I definitely am invited! :)

I went to Melbourne at the weekend. Eating, drinking and shopping were the activities. On the way home from the pub on Friday night, I ate a McChicken Nugget! But I am consoling myself that this doesn't necessarily mean I fell off the vegetarian wagon, as I reckon there was probably no chicken in it anyway.
