Hi all. Sorry about no post about Singapore yet. That will come in time.

We arrived home on Wednesday and promptly went and bought some more clothes. Yep, that's right, no luggage. We caught up with some people the end of last week, and got Peanuts back and generally tried to sort things out (without luggage). Llew was just in the process of packing at 6pm Saturday for leaving on Sunday when I got a phone call. "We have two pieces of luggage here for you and the driver is just about to leave. You will get them tonight." Well, that was great. Just in the nick of time. Llew could pack the rest of his things. We had clothes!

So the other important piece of information is that we bought a car! We were most interested in a Prius, but they are exceptionally over-priced here and there was no way we could either get a good deal, or get finance. So we asked around and decided on the 2009 Subaru Forester, white. Wow, great car. Drove is around a bit and on the highway and it is fabulous. Really smooth and quiet. It has just got the safety award again, so we are pleased with that. We phoned the dealer Thursday morning, signed the contract Thursday afternoon, and paid for it on Friday when we picked it up. All ready to go! That was just what we needed because Llew left for Rockhampton yesterday.

That's right, no rest for the wicked, umm... I mean wise... :) He started today and I'll let him tell you about that. As for me, I'm back at UQ to respond to my examiners' comments for the next few weeks. This place has changed a bit and I am in an office that never used to be here, but it only has 2 other people in it and 5 other vacant desks, so will work. Carlos is well, and is all ready to get onto this thing too. I'll keep you up to date on that.

Stay tuned for photos of Singapore and the car.
