I Am Australian!




Today was a big day for me. It is my birthday, but i also became an Australian. I hade my citizenship ceremony in the city. I pledged my oath to Australia, then had to sing the national anthem. I surprised myself and got quite choked up as i started singing.
Afterwards, Bill and i had a great celebration lunch at the Opera Bar. As you can see from the pics, it was a glorious day. Not a cloud in the sky. There is nowhere better on a day like this than Sydney Harbour.
I felt so alive, and have decided that once i am back on my feet and the leg has healed up, i need to make an extra drive to get the weightloss going again. I am not going to be fat and 45!!

Mardis Gras




Last night was my first time at Mardis Gras. Boy oh boy, what a great time i had! We were there 5hrs, i never once thought about food, in fact i was naughty and went straight to bed without any dinner when we got home. Just goes to show that when you are enjoying yourself food is the last thing on your mind!
