They’re Gone

November 25th, 2008 Matt

I dropped my parents at the airport yesterday morning ready for their 8:40am flight to Singapore. This meant getting up at 5am and getting to the airport at about 6am. After they had checked in we had some over-priced coffee and orange juice before saying our goodbyes at the security checkpoint.

I got in to work at about 7:30am and by the time it got to 4pm I was stuffed so I went home early. The house felt different with only Zac and me.

Zac doesn’t seem to have taken it well. He is missing all the attention and as a consequence has only me to annoy. He was particularly grumpy this morning as I didn’t immediately get up and feed him in the way that he has become accustomed.

In which I miss the dust and mention some stuff I’ve been doing

November 2nd, 2008 Matt

So, I’ve been home from Burning Man and the USA for over a month now but until now I haven’t gotten around to moving the Gone to Burning Man post from the top of my blog. I suspect this is probably because I’d still like to be at Burning Man.

Anyway, since getting back a few notable events have occurred.

  • My parents have come over to stay for a couple of months :) .
  • I went to Tambellup as part of the John Curtin Weekend of volunteering.
  • We’ve been to Melbourne for a week, where I graduated from my Masters degree.
  • I went to the weekend CampOut with a bunch of people from the Perth fire crew.
  • I have finally made the switch to Mac OS X with a shiny new aluminium MacBook.
  • I’ve started doing an online course to upgrade my radio license to the Advanced level.
  • Watched the Red Bull Air Race yesterday afternoon.

I think those are the events of importance that have occurred in the last month or two. Hopefully I will get back to more regular posting now that I have shifted the Gone to BM image from the top of the blog.
