angharad_gam The end of last year turned frantically busy, mostly on the work front, and I had every intention of dropping in and complaining about it, or talking about the Christmas and New Year holiday, but here we are.
We did have a lovely holiday in Queensland, mostly just lounging around the pool, although I hauled my backside out of bed at 5:30am to go canoeing with my dad a couple of times. He was regaling me all year with tales of the dolphins and turtles and so, but we had zero visitations from wildlife. We also had another go at visiting the aircraft museum and they were actually open, which made Andy happy.
Erin was offered a place studying psychology at Flinders, which she has deferred for a year, apparently so she can lounge around the house watching anime. We are making her do lots of housework instead.
School has been back for a couple of weeks now, and the boys are settling into their new classes. It's crazy birthday week next week, so we shall be awash in cake.
My dad was nearly admitted to hospital yesterday, under suspicion of having some terrible tropical disease, but he tested negative to most of the more obvious ones, so they pumped him full of antibiotics and sent him home. Hopefully he's on the mend.
And that's about all the news for now.
