It's bloody roasting tonight so going to try and get some shut eye to ease the jet lag. Having a bit of normality with a proper book!
That's if I can remember how to read 😂
TravelerOh Jen. I feel for you. The Jet Lag is absolutely awful. it used to ground me when I flew back from Canada and the US. You have to just get your body into the correct time zone ASAP. Relaxing and getting into a good book is a great idea. Drink plenty and sleep as much as you can. It will pass in a few days time. Everybody is talking and asking about you. They are all so jealous and proud of you. Keep the messages and photos coming. xxx

TravelerDon't worry the family are leading you in gently. They'll soon get you working with the horses and cattle. Then you won't be bored. Hope you're sleeping and eating well and don't forget to drink plenty. It's not like the UK. You dehydrate a lot quicker there. I do mean water and not gin by the way !! xxx
Traveleroh .! lovely photos of their place. Is that where you eat all your meals on the veranda?
TravelerHi Jen,lovely photo,was that sunrise or sunset ?.and so good to hear the family are lovely,We went on Google map,and lodged into Goomeri,we were most impressed,we had a good tour round,found the Food works,and think the shop you spent a fortune ha ha." love you lots Jen, keep the updates coming" xx

TravelerBriliant news Jen, good to get back into a Tractor. shame you bust it !! Only a snapped bolt, easily done and its designed to fail. How old are the little chicks? Is it your responsibility to care for them? What breed is the dog and is it friendly? SORRY FOR THE LOADS OF QUESTIONS, REALLY INTERESTED . Things are looking up work wise for you. I told you it would be a matter of time until things got busy .... just the way you like it xxx
