Are you sick of random photos from my trip yet?

I hope not, as there's more to come and posting them enables me to try to sort all those boring things out that always need sorting out when you return from holiday.

Stuff like visiting the supermarket to buy groceries (which is a bigger thing than it sounds since Dickson Woolies has decided to turn themselves back to front. So after 12 years of getting the frozens last we're either supposed to get them first or shop from the other end of the store.)

So here's a photo of my favourite (not so) small person:This photo's called Cube on the coast:
And a shot of a bumble bee since we don't have any here:

Stupid o'clock

That's when I got up this morning after realising I wasn't going to get back to sleep.

But my bags are now unpacked. I've tidied my room, put away the dishes I did before I went away. And I've dealt with a pile of random colour inspiration photos I took over the weekend:

Because I suspect the chances of getting through my photos before they're past their use-by date will be a miracle

I'm thinking I should just highlight my faves...

I'm back

I have bags to unpack

I have clothes to wash

I have new treasures to find homes for

I have accounts to balance

I have groceries to buy

I have a kazillion photos to deal with

I have to go to work

But first, I have a Powerpoint presentation to whip together for class tonight.

In the meantime, here's a pretty picture I took of Scorching Bay for you to look at:

Give me a day off and I'll take 1448 miles...

In an unexpected twist of fate I was told that I wasn't going to be working on Friday October 30th.

Which is the day before what could be a very long weekend in Canberra (if you happen to take the Monday before Family and Community Day off the following week).

Somehow I found myself on the Qantas website. You know, to just check what the situation was for frequent flier fares around that time. And before I knew what had happened I'd booked flights to Wellington.

Flights, insurance and 4 nights accommodation for $184.94? I think it's cheaper than staying at home. Besides, I'm well overdue for a visit to the dentist...
