OK...whether to and how to start

So...am thinking some friends may like to hear a semi-regular update for if I don't get the opportunity to email whilst I'm away. I'm going to Australia to work for four days a week as a Managing Editor, basically a secondment from my current job in Oxford. Working in Melbourne from End of Feb until early July. So far...I haven't got anywhere to live, a tax file reference number (equivalent to NI) or anywhere to live. Have some very kind friends who have agreed to store my stuff whilst I'm away. Have moved all my addresses to Vics or my parents...my brother Roland is looking after Kittette...erm, yep...and so I'm off next Tuesday evening after an all day meeting with work (that was my fault, but it is my favourite meeting...). I have bought a massive suitcase, it's a teal suitcase no less...I hope it's going to be light enough...a few weeks ago had traumas as Singapore Airlines apparently don't let you have more than 20Kg if you're travelling economy, I moaned at them and said 'I'd a booked with someone else if I'd known' and they gave me an extra 5Kg as a good will jesture, ace! Had an excellent party which acted as a good farewell party on the theme 'Evil versus bear' this weekend just gone...ace pictures from that! That'll do for now won't it...moving out of my empty room on Saturday coming...and then no fixed abode for the next little while....
