Vegemite is...

NOT my favourite flavour of Australia. I had some on toast this am. Very salty and not all that pleasant. I don't think I would cross the road to get some. I think I will stick to the wine and Tim Tams. I was at the fringe Friday night. It was interesting. I felt old looking at all the 15 year olds. Then I went to a lovely dinner party Sat night where we sat out in a beautiful garden under the stars eating wonderful food with great company. So today I am playing cath up with the house work. UGH, yes folks my glamorous life in the land down under does include housework. Oh well.......Hope you are all doing well. Take care.
G'Day eh!
