Anyone who doesn’t know what c25k is, the aim is in 9 weeks to be able to run 5kms in one go. So I am looking forward to getting started as I miss having general fitness and being able to fit into my favourite clothes. It is going to take a lot of motivation as I will need to get up at 5 am to do it once I am back at work, but I am feeling positive.

Will keep you all informed as to how I go.

It hasn’t been without its problems. We were meant to have the yard landscaped. We have spent the past few months trying to get that sorted. They have done some work but not to a great standard but we are slowly getting the lawn to take and it is improving.

So I hear you asking “Why Ballarat?” Well since we have been home from the uk Melbourne never felt like home at all. We were in Ballarat last Christmas and we felt like we could live here. We started looking for land when we got back from our honeymoon. We stood on our block and it felt like home so we made an offer and bought it. So we have our 1165sqm of paradise which we will hopefully build on this year. Every day I get home from Melbourne I am just so glad that we live here.

It is awesome to live somewhere you love.

After a day I am very very impressed with it and it has bought me back to blogging, so that’s good. Hopefully I can keep it up. I think that 2012 should be a big year for Kelly and I so please stay tuned.

As Nathan has said it’s been a really busy couple of weeks, with lots going on but there is now light at the end of the tunnel with the approaching European Adventure and only six, count ‘em, yes SIX days of work left! (can’t wait!)

We are off to dinner tonight to catch up with some friends, hard to believe it’s the last time we are probably going to see them unless they make it out to Australia. It’s a bit sad really, but trying to remain positive and think of all the exciting things coming up for Nathan and I such as moving back to Oz, meeting Nathan’s family, seeing my family and friends again, getting set up in our own home, finding new jobs and planning our wedding…..hopefully there will be lots of good times ahead.

Better sign off now – till next time………..

I have had an interview with the HR department for a web development job.  After that I was giving a programming test, which I passed, and I have been moved to the next stage of interviews which is a technical interview.  At this stage I am not too sure when that will happen but I would imagine in the next week or so. It definitely sounds like a good opportunity but we will just have to wait and see.

Work in London is majorly hectic.  I have been working on a stock management system that will be used by Three mobile across the world for the last 6 months.  I was hoping to have finished it before I left but no such luck due to various reasons. So now I am just cleaning up bits and pieces and starting to hand it over.

Back in Australia we have bought a car!  We started out by looking at an Astra or something like that but figured that we would probably end up replacing that within a year or so, so we ended up buying a BF XR6 Falcon.  It is a really nice looking car from the photos and should do us for a number of years!  It only has about 50,000kms on the clock and has been fully optioned, except the iPod cable. L A big thanks has to go out to all the people who made it happen, Lesley (Kelly’s mum for making phone calls, organising inspections, viewing the car etc), Wendy (who is garaging the car until we get back), Marion (for chauffeuring Lesley back to the airport) and Dad (for organising the bank to transfer the funds etc).  It was a big effort and we really appreciate it. Can’t wait to get home to drive it!
