Short Update
I have been thinking about old friends and my life in Perth. being the contemplative and reflective sentimentalist I am rarely does a day pass where I havent at least given some thought to my past and the people and experiences who enriched my existence. Just to name a few, Suze, Rachael, Nikki, Kim, Mega, Kristy, Elli, Don & Denise, and many many others are never far from my thoughts and the memories of Perth tumble through my mind with fondness. I might be sitting at work and suddenly, a moment, a sacred moment will fleet through my memory and bring all the colours and texture of the moment back to me. I have vivid memories of my Scarborough house and the get togethers I had frequently. I need to visit Perth again but I don't know when.

Perth was a simpler and less demanding life professionally and it was more a pilgrimage of the social realm and self discovery and ripping off old psychological shackles. Sometimes, I crave that simplicity living in a big old congested and busy rat race like Sydney. in my current life it's easy to lose heart and forget what's important. The first thing I lost when I moved away from Perth was the closeness of the friendships. However much you phone, send message over the internet or communicate via other means, it isn't quite the same as being there and having at your avail the opportunity to call a few friends up for a pleasant intimate dinner and a few laughs or attend a party or a picnic.

To keep my lot short, I've bought my second house which is in Tingalpa Queensland. The hard work of researching, conveyancing and mortgage preparation is done. Now I have to hang on for the ride and make my finances work for me. Speaking of work, Im bored out of my mind and am in an unfortunately entrenched and draconian firm with a boss who has the temperament of a crocodile. It's time to look elsewhere for more prosperous opportunities keeping in mind that work for me is not something just to pay the expenses but something that should fulfil body, mind and spirit. I don't have anywhere near that. I am starting my CA in July and this will only commit more time to my career, something which must be done but not easily.

Family is well, Rachel is well, Polly and Mickey, our two adorable cats of black and white colour are well.

For anyone interested Suze is pregnant with her second baby.

Take care, until next time.
