London + new blog

Hey guys, London's going well - sorry I didn't have time to tell you guys I was going. Makes it a bit interesting though doesn't it? ;) Hey Mark and I started out own blog to put stuff up for our families - it's at http://theellieandmarkshow.blogspot.com/, if you want to have a look.

In Argentina

Not the pic that I wanted... but took too long to load to change! At an internet cafe in northern Argentina. Things are way more simpler here, for want of a better word. But loving it! Pic is of a cool waterfall on border of Argentina and Brazil, Iguazu. THings are going well guys, we started our second project a couple of days ago, we have showers out of a bucket and at last we feel like we are really roughing it! Just about booked a trip to Galapagos - that´s for you Ellie!
Miss you guys, hope to talk soon. Love JodesX

Waiting...

Hi guys

Just had a look at this site and thought it seems to be dying! So guilted myself into posting, even though I have no real news to put up. I'm still waiting and waiting to see if my contract happens in london - hopefully it will but it's been 3 wks and they still haven't sorted themselves out :P I keep telling them I can go anytime so what's the bet they just turn around and say 'ok your flights are booked for the day after tomorrow - off you go'!?! Anyway hopefully I'll get there...

Mark and I went out to see a ballet at the opera house last night - it was brilliant, I loved it, although we were sitting way up the back so couldn't see a lot of detail. Bizarrely, I got scared because we were too high up... Mark was laughing at me cos there's not really any chance of falling down to the bottom when you're sitting down is there?! Here's a self-taken pic we took during one of the intervals - I like it, it's a bit zany. Don't ask me what the lights are going over our heads, maybe people had sparklers and were waving them behind us... :)

I've been doing family history research into my mum's paternal grandfather's side of the family (other family members had done the rest), and it's pretty cool - I think I've traced my ancestors back to the 1730s in Northamptonshire in the UK. Will try to go visit where they lived if I get over there. They came out to Aus in 1855 and lived in Camden - pretty cool hey?

That's all the news I can think of right now. Hope everyone's going well, and is going to post something up here soon, no matter how mundane!

Oh, and I'm looking forward to the reunion too - I hope playing lawn bowls is fun, I've never done it before. Who do you guys want to catch up with most?
