Ross and I took Mum and Dad to Liverpool so Dad could get his Beatles on, and I could stalk Martin Skrtel. She believed me until about a month ago when Sophie ruined the joke. Naturally, I took advantage and told her she was on the balcony trying to smoke, but failing miserably and screaming about how she used to be young. Mum got wasted on cinnamon vodka and doesn’t remember anything post 7pm. (Yes, London does have them on occasion.) I was hanging out for snow for Christmas but alas the sun was out and it was actually a really nice day. Winter Wonderland is a cross between the Royal Melbourne Show and German Christmas Markets, but heaps more entertaining than the Show, and with better rides than the German equivalent. Mum, Dad, Soph and Brig came to visit for Christmas, and we dressed up in ugly Christmas jumpers, and went to Winter Wonderland A LOT!. I even used some of my rubbish German, so it was educational as well, and not a complete waste of time or my exorbitant HECS debt.

We nearly froze to death, and all of the monuments were covered in scaffolding, but it was worth it. The markets are so fun and the food is so delicious. Ross and I went to Berlin for Christmas markets and it was AMAZING! The view from the top was pretty awe-inspiring though. Even with the language barrier, I knew that I was being that annoying white girl tourist. We climbed a waterfall on a tour to the mountains where the Berber people lived, and I had a mangled foot. Mikaela made friends with a person working at a local riad who named her Fatima. There was an Australian lady working in the Riad from Carnegie who took an unnatural likeness to us and acted like we were the first Australians she had ever met she was like an excited puppy. It was however, really fun, delicious and cheap if not as warm as we had hoped. Typical we went to Africa and it was as cold as London. They had to evacuate camels from the desert because of all the rain. Ross, Mikaela and I went to Morocco and it rained more heavily than parts of Marrakesh had seen since 1967. This is supposed to be a good thing, so i don’t really feel too bad for letting this whole thing completely fall away.īut anyway, enough of Dr Phil, what’s been happening since November? Not having time (or to be honest inclination) to write anything, coincided with me finally being busy and starting to get back into the swing of normal life again, without the hollowness of being an only child, consuming my every thought. You can decide if that is a good thing or not.

It has been almost 6 months and I am finally doing this again.
