The Baynhams

It's NOT fair...

I did not travel half way around the world for this...

I thought we had left behind the cold and miserable UK winters. I don't expect perfect blue skies every day. It's actually quite nice to still have seasons (gives a valid excuse to shop for clothes twice a year!)

BUT ICE.... NO, NO, NO!

I did not plan on waking up to a car with a frozen windscreen here in Australia.

Sunday morning, trying to do the right thing, bringing the kids off to 8am Mass and as I sit into the car I realise that I cant see a thing through the windscreen. It's the same as many a UK winter morning. Back out of the car, run back up to the front door, mad rummage through the hand bag for the keys, kettle of water, back to the car, pouring water all over the windows while trying not to soak my feet, back up to the house to throw the kettle in the front door, and finally, back in the car and late driving away down the road.

I'm not happy. There must be some small print in the visa application about this....

Someone get me John Howard on the phone....
