she's been in Japan for a few years now. I was lucky enough to stay with her at the beginning of 2005 and have her show me around Nakatsu (which is like Wagga Wagga). of course, I miss her dearly but am looking forward to her return to oz for Christmas.
here's some pics of the hailstorm which hit parts of Sydney this afternoon!!!!! amazing stuff! i've never seen a hailstorm last that long.

it was impossible to work during that time because the noise on the roof of the warehouse was deafening. plus the fact that everyone at work was running up and down the stairs taking photos of the streets below.
