To those that rang or SMSed to enquire as to the status of my passport drama, thankyou. You’ll be pleased to hear, I trust, that it was all sorted on Thursday afternoon. The relief is still tangible.

Thursday evening was soccer, and even though I had an assload of packing to do, I went and helped the team to an impressive 7-3 victory. Great game, I made one classic stop in the goals with my face. Ouch.

Then I got home, and slowly packed. Woo was over playing Simpsons Hit and Run, and by the time he left, it was midnight. Let’s just say that I’d set my alarm for 4:30am to make my flight, so on Friday morning I wasn’t a happy camper.

Flight was ok, flew via Sydney, and arrived in Perth on time. Business class for that distance is cool, even though I thouht that it wasn’t that great for trans-pacific flights. Crashed by 4pm, and slept through.

Saturday Snod and I hit the Perth CBD for money exchange and browsing. Bought the new Peter Moore book (which Bryce will be pleased to hear about) and picked up some Baht. Also got some goal-keepers gloves and a couple of pairs of pants. Unfortunately, we walked past a pub with Belgian beers jsut after we’d been discussing the Belgian art of beermaking, so we wasted the rest of the afternoon people-watching and getting moderately shit-faced. Pancakes on the way home for dinner.

Sunday we headed to the beach for the morning. Read the new Lee Child/Jack Reacher novel, The Enemy. Good book, pleasant enough reading it in the shade by the beach. Had a coffee and then moved into a fish and chips lunch.

Monday we wasted completely, although we did wash Andrew’s car and buy apple pie and ice cream for lunch. Today we’re inspecting his new house before it final settlement. Cool
