New Years in Edinburgh

Above: Me with my scabby knee - hadn't met the flying cone at this stage.

Above Right: I've got mittens!!!! I was very excited that I got mittens - their so cool, you can fold the top mitten bit over and use your fingers without having to take them off and get your hands frozen! I was very impressed :)

Anna and Jane felt a little bit cold and decided to get nice and cuddly up at the castle. It was SO cold that Anna brought a new scarf which we realised would actually fit 2 people. I had about 5 layers on including a thermal and didn't want to move far from the fire at the castle entrance!

They cancelled the street party in Edinburgh because of bad weather (hence the flying cone) and we decided to go to the castle. One man with his bagpipes came out of the castle and amused us all - we thought he was great and he definately saved the night. Its just quite amusing how they spent so much money on planning the street party only to be shown up by one man!

Christmas in Aus

G'day everyone,

I had a great time in Aus over Christmas, I'm so glad I got to catch up with most of you - even if it was only for a short time. I suppose most of you heard about my injuries when I got back to the UK! I'm laughing about it now (although its still a bit embarrassing when I have to tell the story to people) and the skin has finally grown back on my knee and the bruising is now starting to go. I got 5 days off work sitting at home with my foot up which gave me a chance to catch up on some serious Police Academy watching (got through 5 out of the 7 DVDs!) Thanks Nathan too for staying up and chatting to me on MSN when I was off :)

Take care and miss you guys.

Luv Jo
