So, what's been good and bad about the last 960 hours?
The GoodSushi.
Melbourne itself. I really like it.
The Queen Vic market.
The heat.
The free lunches (I'm on at least 6, possibly 7.)
My new house.
The Bad
My stuff going via Brisbane.
The heat.
Not being able to get anything back home sorted properly when you can't easily speak to people, and all you've got is a dodgy internet connection that you have to stand on the stairs with the laptop resting on the window ledge to get it to function.
Still not being able to get things sorted back home when you do have a working Net connection.
The silence.
The spreadsheets.
The flies and the spiders.
Last week's Christmas party (which deserved a post of its own, but I'll probably end up rolling it in with another one on misunderstandings in the near future).
That does make things sound a lot more negative than I really feel about them. Yes, it's not been fun on quite a few occasions, but I wasn't expecting plain sailing, and there've been lots of things that have gone more easily than I'd thought they would (e.g. place to live - I was expecting to be moving in about now, and instead my second month's rent was due today). I am looking forward to all the stress being over, or at least back to a normal background level, at some point though.
As a fitting conclusion, this is my 40th post.

I always think "forty" is very hard to spell, but you have done a fine job :-)
