Update of Me.
Okay, stuff has been happening. In order of when I think of them:
- exchanged contracts on the house. Current deadline for settlement is 4th of October, with a preference for having it on the 30th of September if at all possible. Whether it's at all possible is kinda dependent on the bank. So... we'll see.
- I'm now an uncle - Charlotte Grace Tolhurst hit the world running about a week and a half ago in Adelaide. At some point I may even visit. At the moment uncle-presents are heading her way (and hopefully Australia Post has delivered by now)
- My mum had a bit of a health scare (including multiple bypass surgery) but came through and is back home now. I've ... been a bit of a bad son by not visiting, but a combination of work and homelife is keeping me away. I did phone often.
- CPA study continues its varied way - study goes til end of October. Hopefully it's going well (current subject is a combination of management buzzwords and maths - love the maths, hate the buzzwords).
- Doing higher duties at work at the moment. Not really enjoying it - my Assistant secretary (who's normally 2 levels above me) is a micromanager from hell and second-guesses everything I do, and I kinda don't think that's really worth the extra $50 a fortnight I'm getting.
- Ben is crewing an Australian play called "The Pig Iron People", which means he's been out of the house more than normal - Iv'e been hugging him with extreme prejudice whenever we're actually in the same house. The play, incidentally, is really damn good.
- My decision to return to the committee of the local theatre group is, um, being intersting at the moment. There's a lot of argy-bargy about how we should be coping with our declining box-office revenue.
