I have been living in a blur of wine and return-to-Perth organising in the last week. It's starting to get emotional, so I was glad for the chance to spend this evening alone and packing.

I have just had word that my mother will be buying the DVD in preparation to watch it with me when I get home (whenever that is) - in fact, I will probably demand to watch it as soon as we get to the house. Maybe even before shrieking childishly, "My room! What did you ( Read more... )
