Can it really be christmas eve? This is not an original sentiment considering the time of year I know, but the heat and sunshine surrounding are making me the least festive I have ever been.

Not that I'm unhappy of course, far from it. Matt is a great person to stay with and having James here is cool. James and I hired a car yesterday and drove up to the blue mountains. The mountains were spectacular and we had a small walk in the bush. The car we hired was a manual so I had fun getting used to gears and a clutch again. I did stall twice but after that I was a monstarr manual car expert.

I'd like to wish whoever reads my diary a very merry christmas and a happy new year. Monstarr loves and misses his family and friends.

A pic of my second tattoo will come as soon as I can get organised. It might be a few more days. After all, it is christmas!
