And here was me thinking my absence would pass unnoticed! Jeez, it's
just like being back in school and trying to sneak in late past the
teacher's watchful gaze!

My excuse, FWIW, I was otherwise engaged and only just now am I getting
a little free time. I've had 2 trips to Sydney in a week just recently,
that being over a 1000 kilometre round trip each time. Once was by bus.
I don't recommend that for old bones. Actually, the down bus trip was
OK, a twelve seater bus and quick, six and a half hour run down. That
was a freebie as a friend was returning a bus to Sydney from Brisbane
and he picked me up on the way through. The return was not so quick (nor
free). A large bus with hellishly uncomfortable seats and a ten hour run.

The second run down was by car, much better. These trips might be a
semi-regular thing for a while, possibly even some in the other
direction to Brisbane.

It is winter now (officially from today) so I might just get a little
more posting time. That said, winters here are not cold. The nights get
a little chilly but the days hover round a rather pleasant 20 degrees C.

Anyway, we'll see how matters eventuate.
