My life in Sydney!

1. Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year! Wanted to give you guys a wee snapshot of what it's like over here! Miss you loads, Kate x

2. At Home... Me and the girls outside our “crack den” (you will see why we refer to it as this shortly. Please notice the lack of outerwear, even though it's mid-December. Roasting! Although for some reason I'm still wearing tights...

3. At Home... This is Vikki sleeping in my bed. Well, should I say on my mattress. Which is on the floor.... But at least we can do this and not have to worry about breaking the bed!

4. At Home... Our pets... At various times we have been infested with moths, geckos, spiders and cockroaches. Here is an example of two of our favourite residents!

5. At Home... Our Beach... Practically in our back garden and perfect for staggering down to after a night out. Don't think I could manage the bus trip to Bondi in the heat! Notice the lack of sharks. Excellent!

6. At Work... At Fitness First... Pretending to be working. I have a poster of Lionel Richie to see me through the tough times. I hate this stupid place...

7. At Work At the Bar... Our bar job. This picture was taking at the lesbian night before we had to dance on the stage. Shudder....

8. At Work... As a Chef... What? Did you not know I was a qualified Chef? It's amazing what people will believe if you make up a few lies for your CV!

9. At Work... In My Band... See? Point proven! Briefly after this picture was taken we were escorted of the premises...only to be let back in again. The crowd loved us!

10. At Play... Working on my masterpiece! Working on my masterpiece! Arts and crafts! This was before I received my card-making kit!

11. At Play... Bringing Scottish Country Dancing to the masses!

12. At Play... Blending into one of the top Gay capitals of the world. Why did no-one tell me this? Check out the two guys in the background...yikes!

13. At Xmas... Our beautifully decorated Christmas table (involving wrapping paper and a bed sheet and pillow cases on the back of the chairs.) Also homemade hats, mats and place cards...made by me and Alanna! Notice the card and the felt? Thanks Santa!

14. At Xmas... On Boxing Day... At the beach... Jealous?

15. The End! So you'll notice no pictures of the opera house, or doing exciting things...mainly working and sunbathing! There's still plenty time for other things though, and hopefully I'll be getting a better job soon! Love and miss you all loads – come visit soon! Kate x x
