Graham is Leaving Me!

Greetings family, friends and random onlookers,


Welcome to my first post. I have set this up for two reasons-

1. So that I can tell you all my news at once without having to send those incredibly irritating, 3-page long group emails.
2. It gives me something to amuse myself whilst Graham is away.
   

This brings me to the first bit of news. Graham has to go on a three month training exercise is S.A. next Friday. Yay! It's even better when you discover that we only found out three days ago. I'm honestly not sure who will have it worse, me, stuck up here in the Tropics on my own, or Gra, stuck in the middle of the South Australian desert with a bunch of incredibly bored blokes.

At least I have the furry babies for company. We have been taking them down to Mindil beach (it has famous markets in the dry) for walks this week. Digger loves everything about it, Steffi kind of does, but we literally have to drag her into the car. Steffi spends the whole drive there looking anxious while Digger runs gleefully around the car getting slobber all over the windows. It's low tide when we go, so there are quite a few puddles of sea water along the beach, I love watching them drink it then splutter, then repeat it all 10 seconds later at the next puddle. It gives Digger a nice break from his hectic schedule of chasing lizards and sleeping on the patio furniture.

In stark contrast to Digger, I am currently wearing myself out with watching TV, wandering around the shops and surfing the internet. Unfortunately, this thrill-a-minute lifestyle will all be coming to an end soon as I start my new job on the 19th. It will be nice to actually have an income again....

Ciao Ciao
