The Wizard of Aus

Well it has been almost 2 years since my last post, which is kind of pathetic but it is funny how you stop updating these things when you slip back in to the banal day to day. I got back from travelling, started working again and suddenly my life didn't seem interesting enough to write about.

This is a kind of silly perspective given the fact that 13 months ago I moved to Australia for a job out here, which definitely isn't everyday, boring news. But funnily enough I soon slipped in to the same routine of work all week, collapse at the weekend so once again I am about as adventurous as a pair of black loafers.

Well I have decided that it is time to do something about that, and if updating this blog on a regular basis is the kick up the arse that I need to actually fill my life with more than work and sleep, so be it.

Plus my mum and Maggie are coming out to visit in less than 3 weeks, so the fact is already I have lots of fun stuff planned, so at least I know for late July/August there will be stuff to report. The challenge will be to keep that going from September onwards. Re-reading my travel blog really makes me realise how forgettable my average week is now, and I want to try and create a memory every week starting now. That is my mission statement. Pretty straight forward in theory but might be a bit more challenging in practice.

So queue the mission impossible music and from now on updates of weekly memory making.

Phew!
