Lizzie is already writing about Melbourne, so I will talk about learning French instead. Lizzie has been teaching me. We have been splashing about in the rain and the puddles, talking about a figurative monkey. We have been watching too much Eddie Izzard.

It is raining and I look very pretty and Melbourne is full of stuff!!!! It is cool. If we had had any brains at all, we would have come here first. That said though, Brisbane was definately the place to be in terms of re - establishing relations with my relatives in Rockhampton, and with my grandma in Nambour, before she died. There is always a reason. And although it may not be clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should ect.

I've not really had access to a computer properly for some weeks now, so I've been a bit out of contact, but I have been reading everyone's journal and keeping track. Sian, Georgie and Fliss, Lizzie got you present. I tried to read some of the poetry out aloud, but Lizzie just laughed at me.

What news? Well, Lizzie is in the process of telling you all about the thing we have been concealing for ages. I will leave that up to her to do. We just didn't want to say anything until we were sure one way or the other.

I got an email from Jemima the other day saying that yes the funding has come through, but they want to do it in 2008, which is cool with me, and - ooh! they want to tour it outside of Scotland! Now, by 'outside of Scotland, does she mean...England? Or possibly a cheap tramp through some Eastern European countries? So the play is on, the play is on. The other bit of news in this department is that the Melbourne Theatre Company have agreed to read the script. They are Australia's oldest theatre co and take on world class stuff, so I'm well chuffed that they want to read it. But they might not like it and I very well may not be world class. Holding my breath in a cautiously excited way about that.

We are coming home late August. We will try to save as much as we can and pay off vast amounts of credit card. I've sent off the last of what I need for my working holiday visa, so that should come through soon. If they say no, then Lizzie and I will run away to New Zealand and live together in a gay way, possibly up a mountain, until they'll let us both back in as a couple. Then we'll rent a house, paint it pink and raise poodles in manner of gaybos everywhere.

I want to eat a baked potato! Hurry up Lizzie! Let's go!

Ok.

Bye!

Le sange est sur le branche!

We are in Melbourne. As Ari mentioned. The International Comedy Festival is on and we are trying to blag as many free tickets as possible by calling them 'industry comps'. Heh heh heh heh heh. Melbourne is cool. It is the city most like Edinburgh.

Ah, I miss home.
Main stuff. Have just cut this for length. Pc was being a wanker yesterday )
Tired now. I think I may have conjunctivitis.


Bye,

Well we never did get the baked potato. We went back to the shop we saw called 'Hot Potatoes', which we presumed sold potatoes, and discovered it in fact sold plastic koalas and other trashy tourist 'memorobilia'

The hostel we moved to last night rocks. It is above a pub, and here in Melbourne they do pubs like pubs should be. In Brisbane it's all trendy bars and alfresco crap with loud muasic so you can't hear yourself think. But the Exford Hotel is nice. It has pool tables and pints of beer, and you can smoke, which you can't do anywhere anymore. Most excitingly... It has a Machine!! Ot only has Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on it, but it's the first I've seen in this heathen country. In Queensland it's all 'pokies' (fruit machines) So we sat and drank beer and played pool and saw some bad free comedy and it was just like home!! We managed to blend in well at the comedy show by sitting at the front and announcing we were lesbians and in charge of the bookings at a major comedy club in Brisbane. Heh heh heh.

Anyway yes - Thank you to Sian, Georgie, and Fliss for the lovely birthday present, which I received on Thursday and Ari mentioned yesterday and I, in a devasting display of ingratitude, didn't. It's beautiful, and served as one of our signs that coming home will be the right thing to do. Thank you.
