Canberra, Australia

Just a quick update to let you know what I am up to. I am still in Canberra, back here after having some time off in Queensland over Christmas. I am housesitting at the moment, so have responsibility of a cat and a dog, plus watering the garden. As you will expect, this is a challenge.

I have settled into work, and am enjoying the challenges that I face. Calvary Hospital is a really lovely place to work. It is small enough to get to know people, however big enough to get lost in if recquired!

I have the day off work today, Yippee! I paid $120 for an opthamologist to tell me that I have a freckle on my optic nerve that has been there since birth, and it is nothing to worry about. I think the optometrist who sent me on this quest gets a cut of the profit!

I have tentatively rebooked my flights, so will leave Australia after easter, head to fiji for a week then onto LA for a week.

Patrick has moved out, he has a job that means he is based in west England, so now have an empty room in my flat in London. So if anyone knows a great person who wants a small but cheap room - let me know!

Best run, daytime TV is calling....(joke joyce).
Hope you are all well
