Some random jots:
Phone message from my doctor in Sydney (technically, my ex-doctor): “Got your test results. All looks good. Call me if you want details.” Luvly.
In other shiny happy news, my plane ticket for Bangkok finally turned up today, just shy of a week after being mailed from Sydney. So I’m breathing a deep sigh of relief and finally packing my bags. I’ll avoid saying anything nasty about Australia Post’s service levels…
Brent’s first day at his new job today. He came home tired (after a 12-hour day) but happy and enthusiastic. But I’ve grown a wee bit accustomed to having him at home for the last couple of weeks so I kinda missed him today.
We’re getting settled into our new home, gradually. Still lots of half-unpacked boxes around the place, and probably will be for a while yet. No DSL line yet — that can’t come fast enough. I’m jotting down this post while waiting for a 5.1MB email message to download. Dialup sucks; I wonder how we ever managed in the bad old days.
Yesterday we wandered down the road to the Merri Creek Reserve for the first time … we’re amazed to have such a stunning slice of (sort of) natural bushland (sort of) on our doorstep. The dogs — after days and days being cooped up in car and house — were going off. The smells, the long grass, the other dogs’ butts, the water.
Will try to write a more coherent entry tomorrow…
