G’day from Oz. Well, I’m back home for a few weeks for some R&R before heading off again with the family on the 1st (to Japan for a week and then the US for a couple more). Its going to be hard returning to work in London after all that time off but I think I’ll cope.

its fantastic being back home … great to see the family, great to catch up with friends and great to have some of Mum’s cooking – boy have I missed it. Hey and of course there is the sun … the warmth … its so nice. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy the cold weather in London but it sure is nice to get some colour and actually feel the touch of sun for once. Today I went to the beach and proceeded to get a serious sunburn (yikes! I’ll be paying for it for days …) Oh well – it was definitely one gorgeous day. Check out these views of Surfers Paradise from The Q1 Tower*:

*The Q1 Tower is planned to be the world’s tallest residential building. These pics were taken from floor 42 – just over halfway up the planned 80 floors. When the building is completed there will be an observation deck at the top of the tower accessible by the public (for a price of course.)
