Round the World in 100 days..or a bit more

A trip taking me from the clutches of winter in London to Africa, then Asia and to Australia for Xmas. Finishing up with Fiji and North America before arriving back in London in time for February's snow! Or maybe a bit longer.....we'll see

Canberra, Australia

My blog has not been utilised much of late, I am now based in Canberra and I guess I now have no travel tales.. I think I may need to start a new blog..something about life in the capital city of politics and public servants. We shall see. So I apologise if this update is less exciting than usual.

I have been at work now for quite a few weeks and have started to settle down into a routine. I have joined the work gym program and had a painful first week - with three body balance and one circuit class, and therefore being unable to move on the friday.

I am currently house sitting for some friends who have gone away for two months. I am in a five bedroom house with a massive backyard with a swimming pool. It is a bit hard to get used to so much space, and the quietness of living by myself. I am still waiting for my boxes to arrive - they are awaiting customs clearance. But I cant move back into my place until december anyway as it is still tenanted.

I have a skiing trip planned for next weekend, however the season has been very poor, so there might not be much snow to ski on..we'll see.

Max has started walking which is my current highlight since my arrival, I will have to attach a photo next time..he is soo cute. He actually stayed over with me last night - Virginia's first night away from him...I was very lucky. :-)

best run..no more news

lots of love to everyone
