Some photos

Here's some photos from our trip to the Barossa. We started at Seppeltfield, a quick trip to Peter Lehman's, then had a private tasting with Shaun Kalleske on one of his properties, and finished off the day at Rockford's Stonewall cellar. Was a fantastic day!

The week that was

This week has absolutely flown! Last Saturday Ivan and Miyuki came around to hang out and catch up. We watched Social Network (pretty good once it got going) and I must thank Miyuki for driving me to OPSM at Elizabeth when I couldn't get my contact lenses out. Day one of my contact lens trial was a bit of a failure! Sunday was my homework day. I got everything finished by about 2pm so spent the rest of the day not knowing what to do with myself. So used to having some kind of homework hanging over me, the next 6 months will be blissful!

Work has been crazy busy and I have a lot of things to get done before my leave starts at the end of March but I am really enjoying what I'm doing at the moment, the group of people I work with are great, and I'm far less stressed despite knowing there is lots to be done. I used to come home from work and keep thinking about it and staying up at night stressing, but so far I am really loving this change. Perhaps the paycut was a blessing in disguise! I'm also hoping work will agree to let me work one day a week with our communications unit so I can get some experience beyond the studies. We shall see.

It feels like this week was so busy and flew and yet, when I sit to write about it, it seems like nothing. Plus I now can't recall all the things I was going to write about.

Tomorrow we're off to the Barossa and then we're having people staying in our spare room for the first time since we bought the house. Suppose I'd better clean up a little!
