Happy 2011 everybody! Sorry for the long absence, H and I have been enjoying some days off away from the land down under. We decided to skip stockings full of high visibility socks, roo jerky and stubby holders for a trip to someplace a bit more exotic. 2,700 pictures, many ruins, beaches, boats, mountains, sculptures, temples, pagodas, rice paddies, historic sites, bizarre sites, excited street crossing games, overly abundant and delicious meals and an elephant ride later, we’re back to business in Perth. I am however refusing to take our Christmas tree down; Wally the Wombat will be hanging in our living room until February. One of the few perks of having a fake tree is that it enables me to pretend that holidays and vacation aren’t over. At least we didn’t come back to massive sand drifts in our house like we used to with each return to Qatar courtesy of our poorly sealed windows and doors. So cheers to starting a wondrous new year, appreciating the small things and not letting the little things get to us…
