It’s in the blood

Firstly…

Last week I promised to check back in with the blog this weekend to say whether or not I had been able to get things sorted, as I had intended to. So here goes…

Nearly.

I certainly got a lot done – things are coming together nicely! But a week at home with no plans turned in to a pretty packed week. In between catching up with friends, helping out at my friend’s Halloween event in aid of her new charity, People Like Me, and making Halloween treats (any excuse to bake…) I managed to confirm my place with the recruiters in Oz, book a doctors appointment, get the ball rolling with visas and give the house a proper clean before putting the bins out (you’re welcome, Mum). There’s a fair amount still to do and a number of jobs unfinished – many of which result in the fact that I haven’t made it to a bank yet – but there’s also plenty of time.

A Family Affair

I’m not sure if I am possibly too chilled about this whole “drop everything and move to the other side of the world” thing; on the one hand, pretty much every one of my close friends would be wanting to have things booked, finalised, printed, copied and filed safely away by now. Then again, the Aussie lifestyle does seem pretty relaxed…from what I’ve heard, at least. So I’ll call this good practice. I suppose I must also remember that travelling the world is in my blood.
