I am absolutely speechless and was for most of yesterday. This is a rare thing and I’m not used to feeling this way! The party to basically end all parties happened right here in our backyard. It was a mix of meet Bill, catch up with Jenelle and celebrate our engagement and it was very…

The last week in Melbourne…
I have been meaning to put this post up for ages but have been super lazy! Anyway this details my second week in Melbourne, picking up from here and here. My second week in Melbourne was absolutely mental. From Sunday onwards it consisted of visitors, visiting and talking. I would be catching up with EVERYONE!…
Trying to explain…
I want to start a new kind of post on the blog. The ‘Trying to explain…’ post. It seems 50% of my time here is spent reminiscing (with my lovely colleagues especially) about stuff back in Australia while the other 50% of the time is spent trying to explain this to the US natives. First…

Christmas Eve and Day – Say Cheese!!!!
One thing that I forgot to mention on the post about my flight – I also read the whole of Queen Kat, Carmel and St Jude get a life by Maureen McCarthy. It was great and saw me through a lot of the inflight time that I was awake! I somehow managed to miss this…
