Life Down Under
15th November 2010
I’ve been in Australia a week, it feels like longer than that because I’ve jammed a lot in: some filming, a photographic shoot with the Australian ballet and lots of laughs with friends.
Mostly, Sydney’s been beautiful apart from the storms and torrential rain that closed the airport last week and a day of non-stop rain yesterday. Rain is good, the drought is officially over and it meant I got to spend a day in my PJs and catch up with stuff and discover the Sopranos. I thought I ought to, as one of my friends seems to watch it all the time. I like it.
The photographic shoot with the Australian ballet was brilliant; I’ll upload photos when I have permission from the artistic director to do so. They have to approve my images before publication, so hopefully that’ll happen soon.
Sunday, I was in the Rocks with Dave from Delhi. We wandered round the streets admiring the old and gorgeous empty houses with amazing views of the harbour. Oh, to have the millions needed to own one of those. Hey ho, Number 29 has views of Morrisons.
So, in answer to the enquiries, yes I’m enjoying being here. It was the right thing to do, how can you beat sunshine and smiles? I spent Saturday afternoon with friends watching 4 guitarists playing songs of the 70’s in The Welcome hotel. It was when they played “Here Comes The Sun” and announced that it was a hit in 1970 that I remembered that this trip is part of my 40th birthday celebrations. I know it’s a bit late, but it’s perfect.
