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!

There are all manner of reasons for leaving the UK and going to live in Australia. I've already mentioned the weather, the living conditions, the people. But, for me at least, there's another, far more trivial reason. And that is the Cherry Ripe. Manufacture by Cadbury's in Australia but bizarrely not available in the UK, it is a dark chocolate coated, coconut enshrined piece of cherry goodness. Quite by far the best chocolate bar I've ever had, and I consider myself a connoisseur. If you've never had one, believe me it's worth trading continents for. Yes, it's high in everything that's bad for you and I expect I'll put on a couple of stone once subjected to one every day, but I'll exercise. Or something. They say the devil is in the details and this is one of my details. Of course I'm looking forward to everything else Australia can offer me, but this is the icing on the cake.

Down Under Live!

I am attending the Down Under Live exhibition on Saturday 30th January; it's an expo with seminars on migration and will have recruitment, studying and various other services on hand for those wishing to get out of the UK. I'm hoping I'll pick up some useful job contacts. If anyone else is going I'll see you there!

Farewell, Weather Gadget!

The fact that I couldn't get the weather gadget to accurately forecast anywhere other than New York has finally got the better of me and I have canned it. Perhaps at a future juncture I will resurrect it, but for now, it's toast. I suggest if you want to know what the weather is like, look out the window.
