Tourist

Much has happened since I last updated this page. Much! At the moment I am wrapping up a week of Rec Leave I took because Glen has been visiting from QLD. It's great being a tourist in your own town but I must say I have been somewhat embarassed by the rudeness of some fellow Adelaideans. This was mostly demonstrated by our visits into the city where I was apparently wearing a sign asking people to nudge me out of the way, bang into me, and other painful things. Oh wells. Aside from visiting the city we've spent some time in Glenelg, bought lots of wine from the Barossa Valley, and went to outdoorsy places like Waterfall Gully and Mount Lofty Summit and the Botanical Gardens. Thankfully we've had some good weather. At the moment Glen is on my PC so I am using Ivan's to update this, so will post some photos when I can.

Prior to my week of holidays, work was the usual mundane stuff. Ivan spent a weekend in Port Augusta which in one way, it was nice to have the house to myself so that I could turn music up loudly and dance around crazily, but by the Saturday night I was missing him so was glad to have him return. It worked out well too in a sense because I received an unexpected call from Michelle on the Friday night when I was home alone and we went for a late night drive just like old times. I also spent some time catching up with the family, with Dad having his birthday during my lack-of-updates and stuff.

Well I suppose I should let Ivan have his computer back. I will write some more when I get the chance. I have to go back to work on Monday and am already dreading it. *sulks*
