Today I was greeted by a lovely little red card in the post box. Now just getting the post for me is now exciting in Aussie land (except for when greeted by bills), we don't have a conventional letter box in our flat, because (probably) we're in a flat! Although saying that most houses have boxes out on the street too. So when I saw the little red card saying I had missed a delivery I knew my mum had been busy!
The parcel wasn't that exciting: some tights (as they are very expensive here, although I know it was tricky for my mum to find them during a 'summer' back home), so left-behind-because-my-suitcase-was too-full running leggings and my old slippers!! I am quite funny about my slippers, and I tend to wear them until they are falling apart and held together by a couple of threads! So these alone have made my day!
It is so nice getting post from home, in particular when tomorrow marks 12 months since we left the UK for our Aussie adventures, where does the time go??

Wedding Album
Mr B and I have been married for over a year now and we still haven't gotten round to doing our wedding album. How bad is that? It isn't that we don't like any of the pictures, or we fell out with the photographer, or hate photos of ourselves... we just haven't had time! We moved to Brisbane 2 months after we got married, this made sorting out the wedding album in the UK (from the photographer we used) pretty tricky business. So he gave us all of the high resolution pictures for us to go it alone.
I March this year I did try. Mr B was on his jollies with work (PNG - not too good for jollies) I was bored for several evenings so I did some research and came across a UK based company called Bob Books who had been highly recommended on the wedding forum I used to be actively a part of. So I start making the album (thinking that the parents will be very happy indeed), things are going really well, one Sunday afternoon I place the finishing touches to it ready for Mr B to view it when he got home, but it wouldn't save. I'm not very good with computers but even I can manage to save a document. I tried renaming it, saving it somewhere else, nothing worked and I had lost a couple of hours work. Not the end of the world - but it was all the finishing touches to make it perfect and so fiddly. ARRRRRGGGHH!
So today, project 'Wedding Album the 2nd' commences. I have decided to go for an Aussie based company (makes good sense really...) and we shall see how we go.
