SUNNY STANTHORPE

Got the bus from brisbane and fell asleep for a bit which made the journey slightly quicker. Was slightly nervous for my arrival party but also very excited and the closer i got the more excited i was. massive grin on my face, same feeling as when im heading home. As i said before, Stanthorpe is my home in Australia, it's boring and the people can be crap (obviously not mark, wendy, christina and co but the locals!!) but its so familiar and random i still just love it.
Had a MASSIVE catch up sitting on my favourite balcony with mark and wendy and some beers.
The whole time here was amazing even if we didnt do much (mark being a far too relaxed host!!) Christina and her new fella came over for dinner on monday night which was really nice and we ate lots of lasagne and pudding. She looked so excited and happy to see me, it was so nice.
Next day i got mark working (im sure they wont want me to go back next time) and we washed the car which we had travelled in last time. It was so scary though as i was cleaning under the spoiler and GIANT huntsman spider came crawling out and hit my hand. i just screamed and ran away!!
mark though i was just scared of the water he sprayed me with. ha ha!
We also got all the wood which they had been clearing and made a GIANT bonfire (i even got to go on the ride on lawn mower again-the excitment) we had that that evening with beers and snacks and then another amazing meal of bangers and mash!! Seriously they fed me so well.
This was also the day that me and mark went through the boxes from melvin (our travel van) and i found all my old clothes and my travel bag. PLUS letters which i received from you guys last time i was here. plus photos. was really good seeing all the memories if a bit hard..
We also saw loads of movies and even watched paranormal activity, why ill never know! but they also introduced me to Idoicracy, which is another movie i recommend to everyone.
While there i also had to do some uni work... boring. i had such a nice time though and want to thank them so much. It was definitely needed, and i love zena the dog and hope you had to keep her!!
Also christina please quit your job, i dont want to see you look like that again!
And mark and wendy, go to new zealand, you know you want to!! you cant stay in australia for a house, no matter how insanely cool elphick is.
