I've been very busy with work and family over the last 5 mths since my last journal. I've moved to a new practice, and settling in has been pretty good. There are always hiccoughs, but generally it has been great. From January I'll be working in one place, about 5 minutes away from home; it's bright, modern, natural light. Excellent!

I'm definitely looking forward to a break from work though, since I've been working so hard. 10 days off isn't much, but it'll be a chance to get some odd chores done around the house, catch up on sleep, catch up with friends that we've neglected, and of course, do the whole "Christmas" thing. My brother and his wife will be staying with us, so that will be great.

Amongst all this stuff, I've barely had time to pick up a camera. grrrrr. Hoping to capture some nice pics when I visit Margaret River in late January. A friend is getting married so a few of us are taking some extra days to do some sightseeing, food and wine imbibing! If any Aussies have any suggestions on places to visit in the area, let me know. I would love to see that big ol' jetty at Busselton, and get some shots there. We'll see.

Anyway, for those that celebrate it, Merry Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year to all!
