My first Easter in Oz...
First things first, we went to my husbands cousins daughters first birthday party on Saturday where I met more relatives and friends. There were wives there that could not be bothered to come out and say "hey", they can kiss my ass. I blocked one of them on Facebook and she wouldn't even look at me............and this bothers me how? All in all a nice day. Easter Sunday - went to St. Stephens Cathedral, from the outside it's gorgeous, from the inside St. Matthias is grander and so is the church I got married in. Lunch was at his parents, they served raw oysters which my husband ate. They had garlic bread which his brother prepared, started of with tomato soup, then had roast ham, very good, but not the kind I'm used to eating for Easter. There was mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, gravy and broccoli. And my husband had some Moreton Bay bugs, which look like mini lobsters. Easter Monday was a public holiday and my husband got home early and took me to Redcliffe. They say when the British first arrived they came to Redcliffe and they were going to call that area Brisbane but because they kept getting stuck in the mud-flats they decided to go just a bit further south. The park there was amazing, only a 30 minute drive north to see such beauty. Yesterday I went to see a doctor for my dermatitis, I was SO NOT impressed with the procedure. I'm used to the way I've always been seen, a nurse takes you in, she takes your vitals, bp, pulse, weight and when the doctor comes in they take the stethoscope and check your heart. This doctor only checked my blood pressure, and gave me scrips. The good thing about it was he bulk bills so I didn't have to pay anything. Today I started training for my new job that just happened to land in my lap. It was interesting considering I am NOT a fan of answering and directing phone call, but it went by ok. My husband picked me up after work as he's working the early shift this week and we went to Big W so I could buy some work appropriate shoes, I found a decent pair of Mary-Janes. :)

Did you try any of the Moreton Bay Bugs? One day when there is not a church service, take some pics of the inside of this catherdral. Curious as to see it and compare. Were these wives of friends or Ilija's cousins? Did any of them come to the wedding? Did they ignore you after you were introduced around? Did you get introduced? If I went to a party and someone was there from the opposite side of the world, you can guarantee I would be interested in talking to them. Well, I did at the rehearsal dinner. I say see what happens at the next event. Women can be very clicky. I wasn't embraced by Len's friends wives either and the one I did bond with ended up getting divorced. Give it some time and see what happens. Barbara
