Well, as I thought I would, since coming back home I have become rather slack. But oh well, go suck an egg. Let's see if I can do a brief re-cap of what's been happening...
We arrived back in Adelaide, which you all know about, and one of my first outings was to the Grace Emily to see The Audreys play, and it was friggen amazing. I tell ya what - those guys certainly know their stuff. AND they got a 3 record deal with ABC music. Pretty wick I must say. I bought their cd and it's an awesome buy. Very happy with it.
Then of course it was Christmas. That was not too bad. Usual family stuff, food, friends, more food, and of course presents. Woot! And I can't remember what took place between then and New Years, so I'll just jump straigh to there...
So Alley and I decided to accompany Holly to her parents place at York Peninsula (they have a lovely big property there about 10 mins away from Point Turton). So we drove down on a stinking 42 degree day, unpacked our stuff and headed straight for the beach. Oooh yeah! I can't remember the beach name, but it was awesome. Lotsa rips and some big waves. Good stuff! So we swam, played cricket, frisbee, all the usual stuff and headed back for a huge dinner and then the countdown. There wasn't that many of us, only Holly, me, Alice, Andy, Mahla and Leron, as well as Holly's parents and some of their friends. But it was just perfect. So after the countdown we played some batonk on the front lawn and went to bed around 3 or so.
The next morning we had a massive bbq breakfast full of goodness, but since it was quite a rainy day, we all spent it relaxing, watching dvd's, reading and sleeping. Very relaxing.
The final day it was just absolutely stunning, so we once again decided the beach was the way to go. We went to Point Turton and, well, as you can imagine, went for a swim. The rest is quite boring - we packed our stuff and headed home.
So since then, not alot has been happening. Last night Holly played at the Grace and asked me to record it, so that's what I did. There's quite a lot of new material there, and it's sounding very nice indeed. I think that's about it. No doubt I've forgotten something, but I guess that's what you get for letting me be so slack huh?
Oh, I just remembered something. Alice is having an exhibition tomorrow night at FAD, so I guess that's some news. It should be a great night and I have to serve drinks, so it gives me something to do.
Health wise I'm not doing that great, but it's not too bad either. I mean, I'll be honest, I've found it really hard to get back into the swing of doing physio regularly and I'm paying the price for it now. If I don't get better too soon, then I think I'll have to book myself in for an admission. But I'll have a clinic in the next couple of weeks and see what my lung function is to determine whether I need IV's or not. I'll definitely keep you all posted on that.
So there ya go. Another story from the life of Jaan. Don't you all wish you were me??

Woo hoo you're alive! Wasn't sure if that last post was going to be the end of your blog...you'd better keep it going jaan, or else!
The pics look so fantastic...wow SO australian. Do you feel diffeent about our country now after being away for so long? I always knew our environment was unique but have come to the conclusion since being here that it is a completely different world! Holly's place looks great, so dry and so rustic...I can almost feel the heat coming through the screen! Gonna freeeeeze my but of in berlin this weekend, and still haven't got all the winter clothes I need.
I really hope you get your act together a bit more with your health Jaan...won't be happy if you don't. Do you want me to nag?
PS say hi to Holly for me!
yeah, man...I though you might have disappeared from the face of the earth..hehe.
Good to hear you´re enjoying the Australian summer even though I have to admit I´m quite jealous since the weather here is less than amusing at the time...means fucking cold!
anyways...can't nag about you doing shit for your health since I'm just as bad (if not worse..);)
so make sure you keep us all updated on things down under...and get a job, dude! haha
ok, so some responses...
becky: yeah, feel totally different about oz now. well, not so much different, just more appreciative. i absolutely love this country and its the only place for me. yeah, holly's place is awesome. will be going back in a week or so...
janka: thanks for the comment.
lizzie: once again, thank you very much for your kind words. they are very appreciated. while overseas was fantastic, i am so happy to be home again. its just something about here that cant be replaced. i understand alot more now that a hot christmas just doesnt seem right compared to the rest of the world. very bizarre... with cross infection - well, i have quite alot of cf friends that i regularly catch up with, so if we have similar bugs or whatever, i dont see it as an issue. but maybe thats just the 80's way of dealing with things coming through. i mean if someone has some serious bugs or whatever, then its prob best not to mix with other cf's. but if there's nothing serious there, what's the point of worrying? i mean, to me anyway, it's so important to have a social side with cf, including socialising with other cf's so you don't feel so out of place. but that could just be me.
cool. peace out y'all
