* In Brisbane

* Didn't study on plane - helped out a mum travelling alone with her 4 kids, her 10 week old slept most of the flight on me. Felt useful, and read my book.

* Brisbane has been met with exclaimations of "It's Brisbane!" which is also an expression of "It's not Melbourne!" - as the past several interstate trips I've done have been to Melbourne. It felt very odd to be in an unfamiliar airport today :P

* Queen Street Mall has considerable opportunities for fun when explored with a creative four year old.

* Wagamama for dinner. Cold Rock for dessert. Cute house, comfy couch, internets and bejewelled like game sharing. Discussions on discussions and possibilities considered.

* One lecture down (3 to go, until later this week when there will be 5 total (2 are from last week).

* Discovered what a 'gerund' is. A verb used as a noun, such as 'Fishing is fun' but not used as a verb or adjective such as 'Jane is fishing' - am sure that I only think I get this and that practice will actually drive it home.

* All is well, and baby has yet to prompt arrival.

* Welcome to the new little one to cassiphone's family - I wish you all the very best and love!

And now, sleep.
