I’m just writing this to give a quick update, of things I’ve left out from my last post.
This evening, we Skype(d) with my Aunt (who is coming to meet us in Washington DC and New York City), my Uncle, Cousin Henry and his dog, Ginny. Just seeing the afternoon sunlight actually made me miss Brisbane a bit, because I do so love my home.
It was great to talk with them, and laugh about my fall today in which Mum explained to Auntie Mandy that she was laughing and said to me “I can’t get up the hill!” until she saw how twisted my knee was and actually made it up, despite her exhausted state and muscles, because I couldn’t get the ski off. But she wasn’t really much help! But still, she traversed up the hill after a whole day of skiing, and that’s impressive.
But the main purpose of this update is not to talk about the spills of skiing (which there will be more of), but to make reference to something I said earlier about “Aussies making us proud”. I was being sarcastic, watching Australians drink themselves under the table but I found out a few minutes ago that all the funds from the pubs went towards the Brisbane floods – an initiative of Canadians and Australians alike. And that does make me proud.
