To answer Loz’s question (see under her comments here) today was my first day. It was the usual induction session that all companies must give all over the world. We had Phil from accounting and the typical nanny lectures on fire, safety and not sticking your hand in a live electrical socket.
After that I went [...]

Here at last! It’s 24 hours since I got into Adelaide and am now feeling a darn sight more human than when I first got it. Regan’s parents are doing a great job of looking after me and making the move as smooth as possible. Moving would have been much more difficult without their support.
Getting [...]

This is just going to be a quickie so say I’ve arrived in Melbourne safely so am extremely relieved. Anyone who knows me well will understand why this is important as I am an extremely poor air traveller. Fortunately it was a pretty smooth flight and I barely noticed the landing here in Melbourne.

At the risk of sounding overly sentimental everything of late is a “last”. I hope not permanently, but at least for a fair while. I’ve said goodbye to many people, and will be saying farewell to a few more in the next 2 days.

After 3 months of waiting and a great deal of stress and worry - it’s arrived. Yes, that’s right: my visa has been approved! The high commission have excelled themselves in getting this visa processed and returned in less than 2 weeks.
So it’s all ahead full now. I’ve booked a flight and will be leaving [...]

After slating the Australian Immigration Department’s lack of progress for the past couple of months, I will have to eat my words. Barely a week after posting my application off a reply has come through requesting additional documentation. Most importantly the message said they are in the process of finalising the visa!
This is fantastic news [...]

Many thanks to all those who came to our leaving do last night. I hope you had a good time and drank lots! We had about 30 people in the end and got through quite a lot of our spirit stock. The recycling bins are overflowing with empties right now. There may be a few [...]
