It’s hard to explain why I haven’t blogged lately.  It’s not like I don’t have down time, I do, but it’s more like I don’t really think about it any more.  And when I do, no words really come to me. 

Just a random cute picture of my child

And now to recap on June...  it was an insanely busy month from a work point of view, and my only weekend off was the very last weekend of the month, so by then I felt like I was beginning to forget what D looked like!  This last weekend was D’s birthday, and I managed to get 3 days off to spend with him - unfortunately on the very first day I got a head cold so we had a quiet few days.  Even so, it was so nice just to be together.  

We have got a few climbs in but not as many as I was hoping - that weekend off we had planned to climb every day but being sick, I didn’t have the energy.

Us on Beerwah for a VERY cold sunset

Said sunset

There has been lots of uncertainty with D’s job over the past few weeks.  Even now, the company is technically closing down but D is keeping it ticking over enough to keep him and one other guy employed. It is very stressful for him though, and we were hopeful last week when he got a job interview - but that was then cancelled a couple of days before.

We were hoping that D’s daughter would be able to visit us during the July school holidays but unfortunately this didn’t happen (again) so we are travelling down to Hobart next weekend for a couple of days.  That will hopefully go as well as it did last time... maybe better!  D will go for four days and I will join him halfway through for two days, as my roster is once again pretty packed.

Today, we are going on a 3 hour river cruise.  Yes, me, on a boat.  D’s idea, obviously, as there is a US aircraft carrier in Brisbane this weekend and the cruise is specially laid on to see it.  Should be fun, if I don’t fall in the water and get eaten by bull sharks.  Then, tonight we are going to a leaving party for one of my ATR friends who is moving to New Zealand.

And that is all the blogging you get... I leave you with a final cute photo of my child
