Ski Bunny
Jimeoin was absolutely brilliant, the guy had us in stitches literally for 10 minutes alone just by wiggling his eyebrows and making strange facial expressions. I definitely recommend going to see him live, I think he's actually doing some shows at home currently?
In other news, my good friend Carly who was on Contiki with me last year has moved from Milan to London and is living 5 minutes down the road in Fulham! I took her to the P&P last night and she loved it (I haven't met anyone who hasn't enjoyed a Sunday session there yet!). We even managed to score 2 vodka, lime & sodas for a quid! Went out on Saturday night for a friend's farewell, she's heading back to Melbourne tomorrow (I'm starting to farewell heaps of my friends from now till October which is going to be really sad, lots of people are heading home in the next 6 months).
Been working and saving hard for the last 6 weeks or so, because April is full of holidays (its the school holidays as well). Next Friday I head off for 9 days of skiing/snowboarding (mainly boarding for me) at Tignes in the French Alps! I've got all my gear, finally bought some goggles on the weekend (they are the weirdest things to wear, it just doesn't feel right?) and am pretty much kitted out. Very excited about it, although no doubt I'll spend the first couple of days on my butt (I am getting lessons though!). After the Alps, I arrive back in London for less than a week before flying off to Turkey! I'll maybe work a couple of those days (school goes back around April 17th) then head off on the 20th, I'll be in Turkey for a week and of course experience the dawn service at ANZAC Cove, which will be nothing short of amazing.
I'm not even going to bother mentioning that other little issue regarding the WCE because I'm sure everyone at home is sick to death of hearing about it already (is everyone really that surprised though?). I've had tons of emails (mainly from Dockers fans though, Andy!) and text messages with jokes/gags about it. A week is a long time in football, especially if you live in Perth right?
But in more important news, the Lions have announced that they have 5 captains this season (which I personally think is a bit of overkill, but 4 of them are pretty worthy...Brown not so much unless he's grown up significantly since I left) and play Hawthorn in the first round of the AFL which starts this weekend. I hate missing the footy season and would love to be home for the last weekend in September this year, its just not the same watching it at 4am in a crammed London pub!

Hi Michelle, I just know you will have fun on your ski trip. I hope it is a safe holiday for you.
You are so lucky to be going to the Dawn service at Gallipoli. I have not been there but the significance of the day will live with you forever. Kirk has a Great-great uncle who died at Gallipoli. His name is Clarence Edwin Norton, he was from Goolwa in SA. He was about 23 years of age Sent to Gallipoli 16 May 1915 with the 9th Light Horse Regiment and unfortunately killed in action (bullet in chest) on 4 December 1915.
On another note - Guess who set the 2007 AFL season alight within 5 minutes of the first game - Matthew Whelan aka The Wrecker. And as expected, cleared of any wrongdoing. Quite a lot of coverage on his hit as it concerned a new rule which just came in. (It was a hit similar to the one he did on James Hird a few years ago). Once Matthew came off the demons were PITIFUL.
Anyway enjoy the holidays coming up and as usual I wish you safe travels.
Debbie
