After 2 years we now have a credit card... so we can now buy presents over the internet for those folks back home in the exalted category of people who could reasonably expect a pressie from us. As these and other purchases are made we will be cranking up Qantas frequent flyer points... although you probably couldn't class us as frequent flyers... maybe we're wannabe frequent flyers!
I'm looking forward to 10 years time when we may have enough points to fly one of us back over seas!
On the home front we're just about to get the Christmas Tree out for the summer(!) and things are both winding up and winding down on the church and school fronts.
Ambitions in the garden remain high as I try to produce tomatoes, courgettes, lettuce, potatoes, capsicums and chillies as well as the ongiong herb empire which now has basil and lovage! I have also come round to the conviction of not having a petrol lawnmower... but to reduce my carbon size 13 footprint by the acquisition of a push mower! It's a lot more bovver than a hovver... but it's more healthy too... and leads to a tremendous sense of well being... i think!
The Australian government has also just informed anyone with dependant children that they will recieve $1000 per child on Dec 8th. That means no more excuses about getting the garden finished!
