TREES TREES TREES TREES.

Here are some trees.
and some trees.
Me and a tree.
Yep that's a tree.
Claire hiding in a tree.

Where has she gone.

A LITTLE FILM.

THE TREE TOP HOTEL.

A little lagoon in the middle.
Here she comes.
Drinks for two.
Is Claire giving birth to herself?
Oh no she has a head on her thigh.
Is Ben there?
How long is your neck?

Ahhh there they are.

HITTING THE BEACH.

Bootiful.
Yikes ... stingers!
Just what the Doctor ordered.
Watch out for crocs!

A palm tree ... and on my head.

PORT DOUGLAS.

Before we headed back to London for 
10 days of pure mayhem, we took advantage 
of a little bonus from work, and jumped on a 
plane up north to Queensland.

Leaving a little bit of rain in Sydney - 
Cairns 3 1/2 hours up was lovely and sunny.

We picked up our little silver car and drove 
north to Port Douglas.
.
Long open roads.
And a few palm trees.

HOME IN 8 DAYS!

Feeling excited and slightly nervous.  We have a hectic ten days ahead of us.  How will we feel being back in the big smoke? Will it make us homesick? (and for Sydney or UK?).  Only time will tell.  On a positive note, I can't wait to sit and watch movies and get fed every few hours - vegetarians get their meals first, you know :)

CARS AND IKEA.

Although the Golf convertible might be 
perfect for a trip down to Sharks Bay, 
we have to admit it wasn't the most ideal 
of vehicles to have when coming back 
from Ikea.
It was the usual Ikea trip - No matter 
where you are in the world.
Load everything up on the trolley, 
worry whether we've been caught 
in the vortex - as another basket 
calls out "you need me."
Get to the check out, happy with your 
haul of flat packs and nic nac's.
Negotiate the car park, then get to the
car and realise that the back seat doesn't
go down. Bugger.

So we took the roof down, loaded up the 
car the best we could - and as Claire sat in 
the back directing me from my iphone - 
we drove and froze in the Sunday night 
trip back to Point Piper.
(Me doing my best not to go too fast round 
corners or it would decapitate the poor young 
lady in the back.

Anyway I thought I either never go to Ikea 
ever again or I need a truck. 
(I saw this on the way in this morning.)


Maybe get it delivered next time.

CLAIRE THE BOLLYWOOD STAR.

What did you on Friday night?
Well Claire was performing at Home Bar - Darling Harbour, 
for the launch of a new fashion label/charity event.
Looking out from back stage.
On stage and going for it.
It's all about the eyes....
....and the hands.....
....and the hands and eyes.
She was awesome.
Everyone agreed.

Even the press.
 

MJ ON THE WALK OF FAME.

I was in LA on a shoot.  (4320 minutes in LA
 - click here to see - I'm B1.)
And I had a stroll down the walk of fame to see Jacko.
Poor old Jacko.

MJ PARTY AT FILM CONSTRUCTION.

To commemorate the death of Micky J , Tom Gibbo, 
the younger brother of Dave Gibbo (or just Gibbo) 
decided to have a party - any reason. But this is a good one.

Gibbo and Nath were spinning the wheels of steel.
Nath enjoying the attention.
Especially from one fan.

Who of course Claire made friends with.
