- It's starting to get very tempting to say "G'day". So far I've resisted. To be honest, I'm pretty concerned that the Aussies would think I was taking the piss, and would then hurl Pom-related abuse at me. But still - I never thought that, three months in, I'd be at the "G'day" stage. Hmm.
- Anything below 23C I now class as cold. Already, my body is becoming less cold-resistant, and thus - probably, weaker, as it acclimatises to the warm and hospitable Australian climate. I may never be able to return to the UK - how will I cope?!
- Cherry Ripe chocolate bars are my life. It's taken a bit of practice at eating them to really enjoy them (to me, the concept of cherries and chocolate is a fairly foreign one... We have nothing like them in the UK - but then, I guess that practicing eating chocolate is no bad thing either...) - but they're now a regular addition to my shopping basket. A Cherry Ripe = a happy Belle.
- "How are you?" has been replaced by "How you going?". I don't care that it's not really correct English, and is grammatically a bit shaky. "How you going?" is my new thing.
- I'm all about the soy, rice, or coconut milk. Real cow-milk is so not the Australian dream. These people have risen above lactose, and I'm with them.
More tales from Down Under coming soon...
Love,

Nina, I love you, but I hate this post!
ReplyDelete1)If you start saying G'day, you will be kicked out of the exclusive LMA club forever.
2)It's not fair that you have warm and sunny weather all year round. Jealous.
3)You might have Cherry Ripe chocolate bars, but I've got cannoli and Cadburys.
4)"How you going?" - No. Just no.
5)Sorry, but soy, rice or coconut milk just isn't as good as a full fat, Starbucks mocha (do you even have Starbucks or am I going to have to start sending you packs of Starbucks coffee?!)
p.s - miss youuuuuu! xxxxx
My lovely SophieH, LMA extraordinaire and bestie,
ReplyDelete1) I promise not to say G'day
2) This last week has been wet, gloomy and miserable. Just like home!
3) I have no comeback. But we do have Cannoli, Cadburys, and Lindt. So I guess that's kindof a comeback?!
4) YES
5) True. I'm off the soy now. Starbucks has 2 branches out here (that I've found anyway) and it's all about the Christmas frappucino flavours... How much do you hate me now?! Haha...
Miss and love you lots xxxxx
