It was a glorious day and we descended the 900 steps past the Three sisters into the Bush.We went to the base of the verticle railway and then walked back up steps to the top. I have to say it was pretty scary watching people on the steep railway. They youngsters were screaming. But I am waiting to do the railway with Sammie. Everyone says it is very scary. Apparently Liz and Keith went on it when they were here at Christmas.

It was breathtakingly beautiful. It was nice to be with someone who likes to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. The hostel at Katoomba is really peaceful and I enjoyed staying there. I am looking forward to taking sammie there for a day. It is only two weeks until she arrives, so next week I will be heading down towards Melbourne, so that I can meet her at the airport. I will meet up with a lovely couple that I met in Ko Pi Pi. They have invited us to stay with them in Melbourne.
Last night I had a reunion with three people from Sydney that I met in Cambodia. Katherine, Lucas and Emma and Emma's boyfriend from Canada.
We went out for a Spanish meal. It was so nice to see them again and exchange stories. They have all started their second year at university. We are going to meet up again when Sammie is here. They are dying to meet her because I have spoken about her so much to them.They plan to take us to the beach and the Chinese gardens.
Today I got the train back to Bondi beach for the weekend to chill out. I do love the cliff walks by the sea. Carmel is house hunting this weekend but I am hoping to meet up with her on sunday for breakfast.

Set the alarm for 5.40, before I knew what had happened, it was beeping at me. I got up, had a shower, made my obligatory flask of coffee etc, set off on my 1hr15min commute into Tunbridge Wells. It was a lovely drive, the rain was lashing down,the countryside looks so beautiful in the fog and spray. I marvelled at the sweeps and turns of the M25 in the lifting dawn. By the time I got to work I felt totally invigorated. I logged on to the computer and felt a rush of joy as I looked at what the day had in store for me. It was fantastic rushing about making sure the cameras were in the right place, re-deploying as necessary. By the end of the day though I really felt shattered, but satisfied. It had been a good day. Got home at around 8.30 or 9. Chatted to my daughter, watched TV then thought, better go to bed. Set the alarm for 5.40, before I knew what had happened, it was beeping at me.
