It has been a bit of a 'dud' year for the Penrith Panthers this year. For much of the year they have been down the bottom of the ladder. But since our return home they have won a few games and look like avoiding the wooden spoon.
So we are getting out to the last game of the season to cheer the Panthers on. Looks like we will also have some great seats to watch the game from, so that will be great too.

Gardening
Who said you couldn't have a vegie patch in an apartment?
We have two large tubs with four tomato plants and some herbs. The Parsley appears to be doing well, the spring onion not so good. But all in all it looks like we will have some home-grown vegies in about two months' time.

Settling in and tidying up
The weather of late in Sydney has been terrific. In fact it has been more like summer than anything we experienced in England in the lead up to our departure. I just wonder what it will be like when summer comes along for real.
I am still jobless, but things seem to be progressing slowly. Overall there seems to be plenty of jobs in the marketplace though there isn't as much as I had hoped in marketing in IT.
However, that has given me the chance to do some sorting. You see, when we left Australia three years ago we kind of just left everything and didn't do much sorting out, especially of my stuff. SO that is what I have been doing. Going through old paperwork, books, odds and ends, and getting rid of stuff we don't need.
Some of it is going to the garbage, other things are going to charity.

Home again
Natalie and I have been home for about two and a half weeks. It has been a crazy time for us, hence the lack of writing here. We have now moved into a place of our own and have organised the purchase of a car. We have sorted some things out (though there is alot of things to go - at least for me).
Natalie started her job today and I am busy looking. I have had a few appointments and have more to come.
We really enjoyed our time in the US on the way back from the UK. We had lots of fun in Nebraska, seeing Lincoln and the surrounding areas and catching up with the Wackers.
Anyway, that's all I have time to talk about right now.
More soon I hope.
