...where I live! At least it’s the closest I have got to a castle in all the places I have lived so far. Check it out: www.stgeorgescollege.com.au (also, the most boring website in the world!). I know it isn’t Ethendun or Tennyson, but beggars can’t be choosers!
...also, the name of an Australian comedy we watched a few nights back - quite a funny take on Australian culture and history.
So, basically been continuing to get settled here and getting to know people better. Had some good laughs in inner (my block) and it has been very cool to hang out with some of the CU guys a bit. Went to see Miami Vice with some of them last night – I guess the name gave sufficient warning that it would contain some dodge, but just found it way too into sex scenes and not enough shoot 'em ups! Cinematically excellent though. Got stuck in traffic on the bus for an hour on the way there - felt like me & Matt had known each other for years at the end, after only having met him a couple of times!!! Went out for lunch to someone’s house after church on sun which was good – especially as we had a walk along the beachfront afterwards.
Still no surf but am very expectant it may finally go off this weekend. Head high sets this week, so I hope it has cooled off a bit as otherwise I will be in out of my depth, so to speak! Failure is the path for progress I guess!?
Been doing a bit of work too. Assignments to get done. Am quite enjoying international law and aboriginal history. Giving me a fresh perspective on the world.
I am beginning to really like it here. It is such a beautiful city – as anyone who has visited will tell you. So many people I meet keep telling me I will end up living here, as most people who visit do. ‘The Castle’ (aforementioned) is sandwiched between Kings Park (one of the largest parks in a city in the world) and the Swan river with its grassy banks. The air is fresh, the vibe is laid back, and people love living here – which makes most people very content. It is a real privilege to spend a time here... and still its winter! Today’s forecast was 22’c and sunny, meanwhile London in the summer was 21’c and cloudy!!! ...I’m talking about a place called: Perth.

I think some people may have been firing emails to some OTHER Jonny Richards in the US!! My email has an ‘A’ in it (my middle name): jonnyArichards@googlemail.com. So, I’m well happy some of you are up for mailing me but there are some I haven’t received – sorry!
Good to hear from others – sorry I haven’t always replied.
Do appreciate it though.
Till next time.

Ruth,
They definitely are trouble. I know Jonny and I reckon I've seen enough of Andrew!
Love to Bratton,
Dan

I think I need to regulate 2 members:
1. Dan Hames - please stop fliritng with my mum over the internet, & especially don't bring your moves to my blog. If you really want to head that way, then at least have the decency to go & talk to Andy first.
2. Hannah - references to the dark (Scottish) side of some of our distant (& unfortunately unrepentant) relatives blood-lines is not welcome here... much less so the offensive suggestions that I should be involved in such sordid corruptions. I am a pure English rose!!!
Gentlemen, this is clearly a mans game. Please play by the rules.
Jonny H- is that Al Stewart?
Jonny R- flirting? That's not flirting! I learned my flirting technique from Nathan Evans: I don't use no blog!
Dan "I have a potplant too, you know" Hames
hey buddy
