well, after 13 hours on one plane, 5 hours in a sweaty airport, and 8 hours on another plane, i got to circle the gold coast for an hour trying to land. we then got diverted to brisbane, and held on the plane for an hour or so. air asia provided a bus back to the gold coast, which is just what i felt like doing after being on a plane for about 24 hours. and then when mum and brendan picked me up we had to go past the turn off and double back because the normal way is flooded. so while i was meant to be home at about 8.30am nsw time, i was home at about 2.30pm, which was awesome.

dear weather, sort your fucking shit out. you know it’s dire when the weather in the uk in winter is better than australia’s weather at any time, really.

i’m glad to be home though, i had a bath and watched some doctor who and looked through all my purchases. i haven’t seen dad and xanthe yet because they had to go to glen innes to pick up one of our cars where it broke down the other day while they were on holidays down there. hopefully they can get through.

also it turns out the brisbane election has been called, so i can look forward to annoying campaigning and what’s sure to be a liberal government in two months, ugh.

straya day tomorrow! aka invasion day.

aaaaaand now i shall go through over 2000 photos and put some up at one point :)
