Greetings From Manly New South Wales!

Hi Everyone,

When I last left you, SGK and I were on our way to Oz to take a job with my old company on a trial basis for 3 months. If I liked it, then we would stay. Well, it almost didn't last the first two weeks. You see, my company failed to pay me (Well, they did; a WHOLE $0.01US) so I almost resigned, but was talked out of it by getting a cheque cut. While there are still some pay issues to be resolved, I'm here to at least December.

We have an OUTSTANDING apartment on Manly beach, and are just coming into springtime down here. We havn't seen much of the country, as I have been working, but we will.

The 49er's Beware as SaraGrace has a new team...
...The Cronulla Sharks!

That's right, SaraGrace is now addicted to watching Rugby League. She is so into it, that she even critisises the coaching! In honour of her new passion, we are planning to go to the NRL championship game next week in Sydney. Now if only I could get her interested in Rugby Union...

For those of you we met way back in Mexico - Alice and Andy are due in next week; our first visitors! Just in time too, as all of that weight I lost in Latin America is creeping back beneath the belt.

Cheers for now!
MRA
