Black and white

Things that made me want to scream today:

• Oz seeming to be even worse than the UK at providing clothes for tall-not-big women.
• Trying to find somewhere for dinner that wasn't Asian cuisine (see other post).
• IDD phone cards not working.
• Trying to locate body spray.
• Ozzie politics.
• Culture shock.
• Shoe sizes.
• My cold/throaty flu that won't shift.
• 'Airline' being broadcast on Ozzie TV.

Things that made me smile today:

• Emirates sorting my ticket to NZ.
• Talking to my mum.
• A mural in a restaurant apparently depicting customers throwing up spaghetti into their plates.
• Asking about a Ramsay Street tour.
• Learning the rules of Ozzie rules football.
• Excellent buskers in the streets of Melbourne.
• Chocolate chip biscuits and apple juice.
• Finding bargains.
• Drinking fruit juice described as 'five fruits blended with an infusion of rosehip, dandelion root and raspberry leaf. Everything a girl needs for internal harmony'.

So it all balances out really.
