The People That Matter...

Life is all about priorities. It is worth remembering what our priorities are in life, and remembering them often...here are mine!

Easter Show 2010...

ANZAC Day 2010...

Graduation (Finally)...

Will At Nine Months...

For those of you who might be interested in seeing how little Will is getting along and becoming not so little anymore.

Yes, I am a proud father! Guilty as charged!

A good working week to all.

A Couple of Photos of Will...

A couple of very recent photos of Will and his mum.

Sydney

After a relatively short flight of six hours and a little bit Dyah, Will, and I arrived safe and sound in Sydney. We flew Qantas as it was the cheapest fare on offer and a direct flight. My last flight on Qantas was woeful in terms of service however, I must say, the service this time around was excellent. It is good that Qantas seems to have made some inroads on this front, as I am a patriotic little bugger I would probably fly the national carrier in preference to others.

We have been out and about a little bit, doing plenty of walking from home to the local shops, and enjoying the cooler autumn weather.

Will is doing well and also seeming to enjoy the cooler weather. Although, I think he enjoys the attention he is getting from new faces just as much as anything else.

I am now sorted out with a broadband and wireless Internet connection. So, I will be able to work pretty easily from home and perhaps post a little more regularly to the blog.

We are now enjoying a very bright and cool Sunday morning.

For a different take on Qantas go visit my good friend The Stump here.

Counting Down the Hours...

Even though there is still more than 24 hours before Dyah, Will, and I depart for the land downunder, it suddenly all seems so much more real. The morning has been spent tidying up the last remnants of required packing and loading stuff into a truck to be transported to Tanjung Priok for sea freighting to Australia.

On the sea freight, I will let you know. If all the stuff that we packed, some 33 boxes, all arrives then it will have turned out to have been a cheap deal.

I am actually looking forward to getting "home". I have not been home for many years and it is time for a change. It does not matter whether it is temporary or more long term. But, the reality is that I am hoping that it will refresh me. I also hope that Dyah is looking forward to the move. It is a big step for anybody to just up and move their life from one country to another, particularly when you are moving away from friends and family that are your usual safety mechanisms for dealing with life's little torments.

For Will, it is just going to be another adventure with different people to play with and carry him around and to give him goodies and spoil him rotten.

I am guessing that I will probably write more about Indonesia when I am not here than I have been writing of late while I am here. Who knows.

Later alligators....

Women and My Life

Two of the four women who have had a significant impact on my life and what I am today. The picture is of my Wife and my Nan (if you're wondering, the other two are my Mum and my Sister).
