Ok it’s been a while, but I applaud myself for not giving up. Back at George, while Z tries to sleep off a cold. It was enough to stop her going to work, so it was serious! We spent the weekend (plus some of Friday) at Phillip Island, and it was very good. It’s lovely when you leave a place, knowing you’ve done the place justice. Sure we did the penguins, but we also walked lots on the beaches and wetlands, did long leisurely meals. Maybe more importantly, we opened up the option for doing more. From before I moved here, we’d talked of travelling all around and doing the surrounding countryside justice, but we never seemed to manage it. It’s still not clear why, although there’s an element of needing our weekends to settle into the house and each other. There was even some friction (from both of us) for the weekend just past, so it’s good we’ve overcome it. And now with likely reduced price flights for me, it feels just silly not to grab the chances with both hands, even if it means frantic twos day trips to WA! There’s a part of me that is quite taken by taking two days just to see a quokka! I can feel a project list coming on….

Meanwhile I’m running into a lot of advise along the old lines of feeding your mind and deciding your actions only with those things that match your values. Bleeding obvious really, but it’s one of those realities that you find yourself working against for some weird evolutionary reason. Like journalling! And more poetry! Need to mull over this more.
OK better get back to my patient. I just remembered I was supposed to be bringing breakfast back to her…..!
