Meeting the fockers and catching the flu

Well this past two weeks has been quite something. Melissa in her infinite wisdom, decided we should go to her hometown Tamworth! Ye hah, so off we went into Tammers, it's inland and is the sister city to good old Gore. Gore is where my father comes from so he's been telling me I'm getting back to my country roots....

Something like that I guess :) Well Melissa drove most of the way, because after all it is her car. It was a windy drive inland, it's the second time I've done it, it was only a few months back I did the Inverell trip.

After a four hour drive and a few stops we arrived at her parents house, the time was 9pm and they had severed up the great Aussie meal. For those of you that don't know what the great Aussie meal is let me enlighten you.....

Several weeks back I went to visit Mel's Grandparents, it was a real experience I can tell you and it was also Carmel's birthday (Mel's Mum) whom was also present. I was expecting a great roast or perhaps a BBQ... but no surprise, surprise the local Chinese store provides the great Aussie meal. It is Chinese.... and doesn't always agree with my stomach as I found out at the grandparents. The grandparents visit is a story in itself which I might tell you if you're mildly interested another time.

So I was at Mel's parents two weeks later at 9pm and they order delivery Chinese, I was a little shocked but more impressed with the home cooked meal the following night it was really tasty.

Well the parents visit was pretty cool and me and Mel got to stay in the same room even, so it wasn't all that bad :) We went to a local quilt show, which incidentially had titavating bra's (see my web album link) and other such fun. Then the local rugby union was on in the afternoon and in the wee early hours of the morning I was shipped off to the Impy(pub). After all that I was shattered.

The visit seemed to go without a hitch and the fockers wern't all that bad, Mel gets to meet my mother this weekend te he he, I've been winding her up about it for days now. Well the following Wednesday I went on a boat cruise with the crew from work, after the cruise we watched some rugby and had some fun. Unfortunately the following Friday I was sick and have been for the weekend.

And now half the team is sick and I'm finally getting over it... gee what a run I'm having. Mel has the flu now to, crazy stuff.

For those of you that don't know I'm off to London in July, Visa and all can't wait and am staying at Leon's sisters house until I find my feet. All good, more stories and laughs to come.
