Boy that flight takes a long time! Suz and I got to Heathrow in plenty of time, then set about the long boring wait for the gate to be called for our flight to Abu Dhabi, then had the long boring flight out there, followed by a boring wait in the airport (their control tower there is great though!)

Our flight to Sydney was okay though, just long, but being mostly at night we kept trying to grab at least a tiny bit of shut-eye, though unfortunately there was a small child in the row in front who had other ideas, oh well…

I’d already done a virtual tour of the neighbourhood through Google’s Streetmap, so was impressed with myself when I managed to direct the taxi driver when he took the wrong road!

Lee & Jane’s house is lovely though – really modern, but with the old parts of the house neatly incorporated, and there’s a pool:

But there’s no time to laze about, Lee had Roger, Boz, & me scheduled for a final fitting at ‘Man About Town’ for our suits. The place didn’t disappoint, they had a mannequin in the entrance wearing a suit and a cape! I sooooo want a cape!

I think Bruv may want to be called Mr. Pink from now on though.

So we’ve done that, been fitted up, eaten a nice lunch at Darling harbour, and are now back chilling at Chez Barson, so as a parting picture, here’s a tree at the top of their road, v. odd!
