perth action

i'm back.
this morning @ 4:30am - anneke and jason were roused by all the commotion of my frantic shuffling in the kitchen as i was getting ready to leave for the airport, they sleepily said their farewells.

5:30am - i left armadale airport at around 5 in the morning, my awesome friend hester dropped me off. hester is awesome! and she's got this cool group of kids that she teaches at the local school. she invited me to help out on an excursion to fremantle - where she allocated 6 precocious kids to me - i think i was supposed to teach them something about australian history, unphased at the prospect of such a task - i managed to spout rubbish quite eloquently in full confidence that whatever i told them would be forgotten by the time they turned eleven. ... perhaps i shoulda used that cheat sheet eh hes? :)

-stopped over in adelaide for a couple of hours
-there was this really crap in flight movie which i watched half-way through -"casanova"- don't watch it. its crap. i was hoping for something more savoury as this was the last leg of my return journey. and was in need of some entertainment...sitting by yourself for prolonged periods-strapped into a window seat can be boring.
-back to good ol' aucks! @7:30pm, i anticipated the landing on good old new zealand tarmac, it was incredible.

i declared my sandy tramping shoes (which i wore on our little camping trip up north/?west of perth) @ customs-they're a sad bunch. why did i tell you that? i don't know...anyway, i walked out of the arrival lounge hoping to see someone familiar, and there she was. mum. mum collected me from the airport, i love my mum.

meanwhile my good friend doc phil is having a huge flat warming. i swear i could see his roof on fire from 30000feet in the air. party on phil!

dan and katie. what can i say. i like yas. a lot. you stinkin' bullers!
