They Say What They Say

Hello! I'm home. Home sweet home!

*big happy sigh*

Despite the let down of the last day or so I had a great time in Perth. The weather was just gorgeous the whole time I was there and the city really is very beautiful. I was staying in South Perth, a really pretty part of town just near the Swan River that has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Just what one needs when one is on holiday! I stayed a night out at Rockingham with some other friends where I went swimming and had a day trip to Mandurah; I ate fish and chips and got sun burnt at Cottesloe beach; I got to have lunch the delightful zebra363 and fell in love with Fremantle even though I didn't get to spend much time there. The zoo was fantastic and next time I go to WA I am definitely taking a trip to the Margaret River and up to Shark Bay.

Coming home was a shock to the system. I had a brief moment of disorientation on the plane when I looked up from my book to find Toby Ziegler Richard Schiff on the movie screen and I thought I was suddenly watching an episode of The West Wing instead of some John Cusack movie. But then they brought out our dinner so I fine after that, and the flight attendant who forgot my bottle of water was very sweet and slipped me a freebie water with dessert. However I've gone from 30C days where I could wander around in nothing but a sundress and thongs, to autumn in Melbourne where there is a definite nip in the air and my (lack of) winter wardrobe really needs to be dealt with. It didn't help that work was insanely busy today, or that I have to schelp up to the old home town the next two weekends in a row so I won't get much time to do things like laundry or grocery shopping.

Oh, and after C showed me an episode of Torchwood where Jack and Ianto were, well...

Okay, so maybe now I have a new OTP. Shut UP!

Hi, how are you?!
