TWO friends and I went on an impromptu shopping trip yesterday for a bit of pre-migration female bonding. After a couple of texts confirming details, we hoofed it up the high street to catch the bus to the big city.
We started off with good intentions but after lunch in a swish bar, it was corks out and glasses filled.
My store gift vouchers remained nestled at the bottom of my handbag for the duration of the trip as they simply couldn't compete with the call of the Cava.
We giggled at the bar while we waited for our cab home - our trip just summed up what we were all currently about.
One chum bought a woolly winter coat and roll neck jumper, the other leather boots and matching gloves ... while I simply perused the bikini sale racks, familiarised myself with the world's lightest luggage range and invested in a new address book to fill up before we leave for Melbourne.
G'day and ...
... welcome to my blog.
In it, I'll try and reflect on the impact a move to the other side of the globe can have, warts 'n' all.
Feel free to leave comments, it gives me a purpose in life knowing someone is reading my memoirs. It's interesting to see from the 'live traffic feed' on this page that people all over the world are stumbling across my scribblings. For this, I remain forever humble...

Criticise me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I will not forget you." ~ William Arthur Ward
