I’ve read a few blogs and often find that entries can be long winded, self indulgent and /or written by women who wish they were called Carrie and lived in New York. But there are many benefits to writing a blog; the main and most important one is being able to let those people who care about Martin and I keep up to date with our whereabouts. The second reason is wanting to bottle just a little bit of this once in a life time, 12 month holiday.

So I’ll attempt to refrain from rabbiting on too much and keep it punchy (postcard length) instead.

X Factor fever hits Oz!!!

As many of you are aware, I am (unfortunately) a huge X Factor fan.  My love for the show reached an all time high during the last UK series, where the lovely Joe and show-man Ollie battled it out for the top spot.

So, you can imagine my delight to discover that X Factor has been brought to Australia for the first time ever and that our good friends Nick and Zena managed to get 4 tickets to the live show!

Martin seemed less enamored with the prospect of seeing X Factor than I did, but I dragged him along and as you’ll see from the photos, his spirits certainly lifted on arrival!  

We managed to get great seats and got the perfect view of the 4 judges and contestants. 

The judging panel comprises of an idiot called Kyle who makes Simon Cowell look like a very decent bloke, Guy Sebastian, former Pop Idol winner, Natalie Imbruglia, looking gorgeous as ever and Ronan Keating who turns out to be a very lovely bloke.  

Poor Ronan was in the unfortunate position of having 2 of his acts in the bottom two.  He seemed genuinely upset by this and of course, refused to vote either of them off which meant the show went to DEAD LOCK!!!!

We also managed to get up close and personal with Ronan (well, if you don’t include the thick pane of glass between us), when he was being interviewed for Xtra Factor.
