Sunday, 5th February, 2012 is the annual Brighton Jetty Classic and the 2nd consecutive for yours truly.
I haven't done much swim training since the last one but I figure the swim workout I did in July, surfing in December, and a few recent short ocean dips will make this one a little less painful than last year.No pain, no gain, right?? ha ha!
See you at the finish line!

22.11.63
I'm reading Stephen King's 22.11.63 right now and cannot-put-it-down. Less than 200 pages to go and I'm hoping it doesn't follow the same first 9/10ths was awesome but the ending sucks formula as many of his other books!

3 Years!
It was three years ago today that I first arrived in Australia (well not first time ever, but first time on a WHM visa)! To celebrate this anniversary the Adelaide weather decided to cooperate and I spent the day on the beach soaking in the sun!

September
September kinda sucked.
A couple positives are that it's over and the weather was much nicer than last year and gave glimpses of the coming summer.
When we got back from our trip we had a little over a month to find a new place to live (because of lease was ending and the owners wanted to move their Mother in, hence no lease renewal). We anticipated this being easy but our expectations were high and it seemed like every real estate property management agent we contacted could care less about showing us these places. It was extremely frustrating and annoying.
BUT at the last minute we ended up getting our dream apartment in Glenelg (i.e. the best suburb in all of South Australia)! It's modern, right on the beach, and within walking distance of everything you could ever want (grocery store, shops, banks, bars, restaurants, tram to the city, etc).
Since we were so last minute getting a new address it took the internet guys 3 weeks to get our internet up and running here in the new place, of course, haha, and it feels like just today things are finally getting settled.
Now all we need is some wall art to spice the place up!
