There are lots of things I miss about Australia. At the top of the list (of course) are our family and friends. That will also be the case and go without saying, but there are alot of other things i miss as well. Here is a list of the things I miss the most:
* Bacon and Egg McMuffins (we can get bacon and ham here but it is not quite the same)
* I miss working, maybe not as much work as the kids I cared for and actually being around kids.
* Crumpets....hot buttery crumpets lathered with butter until it is drippy and vegemite. Yum, I can almost taste it now....
* My favourite TV shows....even though Dad tapes Home and Away & All Saints on DVD and sends to me....I still miss Australian TV.
* Catching a train, bus or any other form of public transport.....I just can't bring myself to do it here
* The weather, especially now as we are coming into a very HOT summer....I actually find myself wishing I could be outside in the cold and rain, even just for a few minutes.
* BBQ's....
* Silverside
* Fresh fruit and veg that lasts longer than 2-3 days....we are so spoilt with the highest quality fruit and veg in Oz - although, here in the UAE we are very spoilt with the highest quality meat (not that I can really stomach much meat while I am pregnant, it is really really good anyway)
HOWEVER....the biggest thing I miss is....................
HOT CHIPS!
Chips with chicken salt....tomato sauce.....vinegar...even gravy....I MISS THEM ALL!!!
Sounds weird I know, but all the chips here are shoe string fries, not a decent chunky potato chip and the shoestring fries don't even taste the same.....must be different potatoes.
Missing all my favourite things here makes being home all the more betterer....I make mum a HUGE list of all the things she has to have at home or cook for me....all the things I can't find or get here. Ben and Kalee have sole responsibility for the Bacon and Egg McMuffins, considering Perth is our first port of call back into Oz, so breccy the next morning always includes a McMuffin :)
Counting down the days till Christmas......

Well I think we could do chips as well. The only problem is they might get cold on the way to the airport. Airport chips just dont cut it, and if I want to get them to you asap.
I'm sure these things are missing you too. We certainly are.
