More on Ads

Well, an unexpected consequence of my last post has emerged; I now have ads about lung cancer, asbestos and other health related issues!

What the hell happened to the banjos?

Questions, Questions.

Do people who design official questionnaires really think about the questions they ask? I'm going through the Spousal Visa application form and there's a question on there which says something to the effect of "Did you marry just to gain entry to Australia?". Now think about it. If I answer the question YES, what do you think my chances of actually getting in will be? Now in my case the answer is an unequivocal NO, and as I've been married to Mrs Paulky 16 years on Friday, I think I can prove it. Unless of course this is all part of some secret master-plane I have been hatching for a decade and a half. It's right up there with the questions they used to (still do?) ask when you arrived in the US, the classic one being "Are you a terrorist?". I know an intelligent terrorist is an oxymoron, but I think even they could grasp the answer to that one.

Yawn

Well, that was a long nap, what did I miss?  Are you still there patient reader? It's been a long time between drinks! I'm still here in wonderful Perth,  still working at the University of Western Australia (job number five! ) and still in the house we bought in 2011, though we've done a fair bit of work on it over the years. When I started this blog it was to document my journey to get here, but now I may occasionally post on my hobby, writing. I'm making plans to transition towards retirement (which is still a fair way off) and when I do, my intent is to just write full time. It may be nothing gets published,  but it's the fun of it that drives me. I may publish stuff here too, for your amusement.  Comment away, if you're still here!

SOLD!!

Much to our utter amazement, we accepted an offer on our house on Thursday! It took a couple of days for it to set in, and we do keep expecting the other shoe to drop at any moment, but so far things look good. If this plays out as we hope, it means we could be leaving the UK in June, much quicker than anticipated! So now the hard work begins, of sorting everything out; what to ship, what to sell and what to chuck. All this and I'm off to Oz in 11 days time. What a whirlwind this month has been so far!
