Nice road trip this weekend down to Sydney and back - visited another set of Mg's relations who were incredibly warm & welcoming. All military people & deeply @#$@# conservative ("Bring back the White Australia policy!" one said, to the general acclaim of all but Mg & me), so it's great that they make so much room in their lives for Mg & gf.

And great walk along the beach at Redcliffe - it's really pretty out there. The soldier crabs were running riot; so beautiful & great to see.

1. I moved house. The new place is great! The commute sucks, but I'm enjoying podcasts - or I was, till I lost my ipod! :/ Hope it resurfaces soon. I'm also enjoying being closer to the ocean, & Mg.
   
2. Things are going well with Mg. I have qualms related to the unbelievable tedium & time- ( Read more... )

Fantastic holiday period - even cooler than aspired to ( Read more... )
