Departure Countdown

Only "8 sleeps" in Perth until I board the Focker 100 and fly to Broome, en route to Fitzroy Crossing!
Here is where I am heading off to work -

The week at work has been busy - handing over to my replacement. Trying to verbalise the intricacies of the job is not easy.
The last few weeks of visiting everyone to say goodbye, and try and explain why I am going to Fitzroy and what I will be doing there has been fun, but also a bit emotional. Saying hasta luego to everyone tugs at the heart strings. The wonderful thing has been the support and understanding that all my friends, and MOST of my family, have given. :-)
Three weeks ago most of my personal possesions left, safely wrapped and packed into cardboard boxes, on the journey. So, my beloved computer chair arrives in Fitzroy before my bum! It's been me, my laptop and some clothes for the last few weeks. (I think everyone is sick of seeing me in the same clothes.)
Clothes! Tryng to work out what clothes to buy has been a challenge. The day time temps in Fitzroy are upwards of 35C already! You all know I don't do hot!! ... and the humidity! I did say it will be a challenge ...

So, this is it. This is where to come and see where I am and what I am doing. My trusty dig cam will be with me at all times, although getting connected at home immediately poses another challenge, I am told. Utility services are perhaps slow to get their act together.

Watch this space ....

I believe that you're up to the challenge & will really enjoy it. Maybe someday I can come visit. :)
