Aidan & Karen’s Travels

31st July 2007 

Well theres nothing like doing things by half. Turns out my wrist is a mystery to the consultants too and the scans etc are being sent to a dude doing a phD. Trust me to not just have a simple problem. It seems to take over my life at times but fingers crossed the Docs will work out what the problem is and be able to do something about it.

On a brighter note we had a great weekend to mark our 6 months away and went to the antarctic encounter place Kelly Tarltens to handgout with the peguins for abit. Its a wicked place and you get right up to the penguins in these “snow cat” things. Aidan was in his element and numerous photos are sure to appear on the blog one of these days. The stingrays there are massive and we were amused by those in the front of the crowd getting soaked as the rays flapped their wings as they swam round the side of the tank. I wouldn’t want to mess with them.

Aidan went off to the Simpsons Movie at the weekend with the boys so I went out with the girls for some retail therapy. Its great to be settled enough to have friends and although at times I think we both wanted that overnight it has taken a while.

Work is work, we are planning the next set of holidays which is much more exciting. At least we seem to be on the down hill slope into spring and summer here which is very eciting. We love being here now and everyone tells us its loads better in the summer so can’t wait.

Apologies that The Adventures of Sir Barnaby Goodspeed has not been updated for some time. I have not had time for fiction with all the excitement of reality (the first time I think I have been able to say that in my life!)

Rest assured that he will be making an appearance with many a ripping yarn when I reach Australia and hopefully have bit more time. It’ll be worth the wait.
