I'd update this journal with some photos I've taken of our House of Beige, as has been requested, but since we're still on dialup the upload speed to a web photohosting service is so slow as to be unmanageable.

lengthy details concerning my current circumstances, and life in Canberra )

It's actually rather beautiful here. It's not flat, instead there are rolling lightly wooded hills which dominate the skyline in various directions from where I live. Everything is well organised. There is an unfortunate preponderance of suburbs which were built in the 70s and 80s, during our nadir of architectural taste, but these suburbs are also filled with stunning trees. The amount of birdlife is extraordinary.
There are also quite a few interesting sights which I haven't gotten around to investigating yet.
Emotionally, of course, the big issue is the long distance to all the people I normally hang out with. Luckily I have net acquaintainces who I barely know in real life to comfort me - thanks for that *smile*

Good to hear you're both safe and sound, even if not settled in yet. Wish I'd been able to see you before you left :(

Here's to you getting a job in Canberra ... on a lighter note I just went out with the IP Australia people and for some reason they seemed like your type of crowd. Nice people anyway.

sorta a cross between the arcades and malls of town and a shopping center. lots of cool little boutiquey type shops out the back (where the "back" is the part where starbucks is)
if you like arty and mueseumy stuff there are so many great places to go to, of course probably only worth going twice a year (or however often they change their exhibits)
no idea about the luna equivelant though.
still can't believe they don't have yellow traffic lights. it's SO WRONG
good to see you're finally (starting to get/)getting sorted out :)
