A palace all my own.
So I'm moved in now and have spent dollars on some of the gear required to run a house. Most important, however, is the fact that I bought enough socks and underwear to go a week without having to wash either. (No out-of-context quotes from that one... Ed...) Who knew underwear was so bloody expensive?Oh, for the benefit of my Aussie readership: the word 'thong' to any North American means a racy article of women's underwear. 'Flip-flop' would be the North American word for an Aussie 'thong'. Although, 'flip-flop' would probably well describe a woman wearing a 'thong' on a Canadian beach. Gotcha Sarah ;-)
That was a test.
Other than that, I've been reading a book called 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant'. Its quite long so I haven't got through very much of it. Last Friday I was out for the traditional end-of-week beer with the academic crowd from the School of Geoscience. I've been burning eucalyptus essential oil to give my room a unique Aussie scent. Oh a suggestion to anyone travelling to Aus: if you want to get some eucalyptus oil, go to a supermarket and find the medicinals aisle. $5 for 250 mL instead of $5 for 50 mL.
Good to hear from you all, I miss everyone...

Still missing Australia! I've been checking Melbourne accommodation and have found several place available for vacationers at reasonable prices. Have to start planning our next trip soon! We took one of Bob's pictures to Persimmon (?) Patch and had it silk-screened on to a t-shirt for Mr. Rowthorn. Turned out really good. All is well here. Ray & Joy stopped for a quick visit tonight. I wasn't home but Bob was - Ray brought an Oilers sticker for Bob!
Talk to you soon...
