Ok, its the day before we go, bags are packed, the animals are all taken care of, the money is in the bank, and tickets are on the kitchen bench! Mental Note: Must not forget to take Lilly!

Happy Birthday, Mia! Thank you for inviting me to your party! I wish I could be there, little pooks, but I'm in Australia! I'm headed to Tasmania in a few short hours. You are such a special girl. I miss your smiling face so much. Have fun twirling like a ballerina at your party and i hope you enjoy the special present you get for turning three....

Back in Melbourne for a few days to relax and see the sights... Will update

4-30 Rotary, Boat Ride and St Kilda Beach Jose: So we woke up this morning a little late and I realized I hadn't updated the blog in a while so I decided to do that for about 2 hours.

But this isn't some public blog of whining about my supervisor/education (however, if you a...

hieronder een selectie van foto's, internet is traag, dus ik heb er een paar uitgepikt.

...it's a good grind, though. Well, I am sitting in the kitchen/lounge room of a house. My house. It's on a street corner, which makes it a bit noisy, and today more than usual. The big Australia-Uruguay soccer game must've just ended, because I hear singing. Aussies always sing when their teams win. It can be funny or endearing or annoying, dep...
