I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I posted! I've been back for a while but haven't had access to the internet.

I had a fantastic time back in Oz and managed to catch up with nearly everyone. I was sick at the end of my stay so I decided it was best if I recovered in Kerang. I had a sinus infection, conjunctivitis and lots of cold sores! Not fun.

We've found a nice apartment right opposite my old apartment block so I'm in the same complex with is great. I don't have to learn the mandarin for a new apartment complex which is great! I had to think for a few minutes to remember how to say beef and pork in mandarin not to mention a bit of pracitising on how to get to Walmart, Metro and Dongcheng walking street.

Charles is as busy as always so I'm trying to occupy my time. I've done a bit of work for Tamzin at Winnerway but at this stage i'm spending my time cleaning, sleeping and watching DVD's. I know...poor me...but it can get a bit frustrating when there are things to do but due to my terrible chinese I have to wait for Charles to do them.

Charles and I are fixing up the kitchen and i'll post some photos when it's all finished!

That's about it really, not much happening....sorry!!!!

Love
Katrina

Well, not much has happened since my last blog except for the passage of time!

We (me + Charles) should be home in 6 weeks to celebrate Xmas in Oz. We're staying for about 3 weeks at this stage. I really missed the Xmas season here last year and can't wait to get home and be bombarded with Xmas consumerism!

Charles and I are celebrating 1 year together (sometimes it feels longer LOL) by going out for Japanese tonight...yum :) I'm going out at the end of the month for Thanksgiving dinner too, thought I should start since I'm dating an American.

I've got a Facebook account which I spend a huge amount of my time on, so look me up (Katrina Barton, China) if you like. It's easier to stay in contact that way.

That's it, boring I know but things should get exciting and busy next Jan/Feb when we leave China and start a brand new adventure together.

Love
Katrina

Well I'm flying out tomorrow to spend Christmas in Oz with the family and Charles who is joining me on Christmas Day...maybe I can re-enact a scene from Love Actually :)

Charles and I will be home for about 3 weeks so he can meet my family and friends while also seeing a little bit of Australia.

Hopefully we can catch up with everyone and I'll send emails when I get home to try and arrange times.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Katrina
