Sadly, there is not a lot to report from the last few weeks even though I would like to assure you that I am actually having a pretty awesome time. Some of you will be glad to know that I have rediscovered my camera (just need to find a cheap enough tripod) :) and I promise I will do something 'interesting' soon...



Monday was my 29th birthday!!! Many, many thanks to all the lovely people who made it wonderful :) Oh yes, and allowed me to drag it out for pretty much a whole week without a single word of annoyance! Unfortunately I work for pretty much the only Australian employer who follow the apparently European tradition of bringing your own cake to work on your birthday. Grrr. One of the best things about being away is that cards and unexpected presents have arrived during such a broad interval that it feels like my birthday has lasted for weeks! Unfortunately the much cherished UK chocolate did not. Woops.
