Nostalgic
In a moment to myself I have found myself in a reflective mood and pulled out some of my home movies of the period of time I lived in perth from 1999 - 2004. It was amazing watching these passages of time and although I keep in little touch with most of my Perth friends watching these films was like getting a big hug from each one of them.

Amongst some favourite memories in my collection was my 28th birthday party at Suze's place where my conspiratorial friends threw me into the swimming pool when I was unwittingly out of it trying to sober up from the drinking binge preceding. Another favourite memory was a quick impromptu trip to Albany. Footage of Nikki, Lauren, Jonno and Rachael also was invaluable as was the first few days of having moved to Perth. Incredible memories that fill me with wonder and sadness. How one can feel wonder and sadness at the same time is a complex blend of feelings but I guess that is what reminiscing does to me. A celebration of the life lived, a mourning of the time having passed and people having moved on.

I am almost definitely coming to Perth some time between July and August of this year (as I have promised to Rachael), maybe September at the latest. I am hoping to catch up with many of you if you are still there, still alive and still remember me (or otherwise want to catch up).

Take care!
