SO after being in Victoria for 5 months, Edd decided we hadn't seen any of it really and wanted to go camping. He booked us in at Wilsons Prom, 3hours south, and we then went on a beg, borrow, buy scramble to get whatever we needed for the weekend.The weekend was successful, with glorious sunshine and only a few minor hitches: Edd wanted to take a duvet and I wanted to take our sleeping bags. I couldn't reach his sleeping bag and knew that if I asked him to get i...

After the first 10 week term I have ever worked, I am currently on holiday for 2 weeks. I feel like I've won the lottery - the ability to wake up whenever I want to on a school day and remain horizontal for as long as I please, kind of lottery.Edd's sailing is now full steam ahead - the boat he is on (a Sydney 38) is entering into nationals, which will be held in January, so he's off sailing basically every Saturday and some Sundays from now until April. I've agr...

We've had a busy few weeks, which included Edd turning one year older! I had a surprise party for him, although it wasn't that much of a surprise as he pointed out, we only know 6 people in Melbourne.

(Being born in England, he decided that Friday the 31st wasn't his bi...

The school was 8 minutes down the road and you only have to be there 30 minutes before school starts, so I had to leave home at 8.15am. I used to have to be at a school by then in England, I could definitely get used to this. I had a great first day of teaching and was surprised to find that marking was not as intense...

MondayIt was cold outside, so we decided to have a day of series & laziness. The oven broke, apparently been on its way out for some time - there was only 1 setting we could put it on for our Sunday roast. Our housemate had given it a bit of a scrub, irritated that it got smokey every time someone used it, due to fat and grease spatters. It stopped working after he'd cleaned it, so he will be forever teased for breaking the oven, because he cleaned it. Tuesd...
