Quick Update

It's ridiculously busy here with impending deadlines all over the place, so I'm afraid this won't be lengthy. In fact, you may have to put up with a dot-point posting....

• The cold wasn't as bad as first thought
• The weekend was pretty good - first one I've had at home without visitors for ages
• I have a new flatmate...How that came about is another story so will have to wait
• Good luck to Sandy, who's off to Cape York for a month to work with the indigenous communities there. You'll be great, have a great time, and I'm proud of how brave you are (and how little you actually packed after all the angst!)
• This week is complete craziness work-wise. There are literally not enough hours in the day at the moment!
• Thank God for Cecilia! Despite being given only a sketchy, rushed and piecemeal introduction to the role, she's doing a great job already, and actually doing a pretty good job of understanding me as I ramble and mumble my way through trying to explain what I'm doing.
• Yay! Ronene's back on Friday. Well, yay for me, but probably not for her (and not just because she's bringing me duty-free!) Can't wait to have her back - it's really not the same if one of my girls is away...
• Welcome Daryl who is visiting from Melbourne for a few days. It seems they'll let anyone into the building these days... ;-)
