Seems like ages ago that I last posted up here - not having t'internet hasn't helped too much with that I reckon. So what's been going on in the Life of Sloth?
Christchurch
Spent 5 frustrating days driving round and round the one-way system looking for somewhere to live. Not something we want to have to do again for a while. Found a couple of awesome places, but lost them to other people as we were too honest on our applications (saying that we were planning on staying 4 months +, rather than lying and saying we'd stay for a year). Very, very stressful and made all the more so by not having t'internet or a desk, so this Sloth unable to work. Left ChCh on the 19th Oct to fly back to Aussie for a few weeks. Got Jetstar from ChCh to Melbourne - very good for budget airline, loved the handheld video devices.
Adelaide
Did all that season really happen? Funny, we both thought that when we arrived back in our room at Sarah's dad's place. It was like we'd never left. Didn't do loads over there, just yet more sorting out of our stuff we shipped from UK (do we really need it?) - had to put that in storage now, along with the boards, so that leaves them about as far from any mountains as they could be 
. Got a lot of work done anyway, albeit on 28k dial-up (annoys me that companies like Optus restrict people's t'internet access so anally - what is anyone supposed to do with 100Mb downloads a month?! 
). What I did love was getting back to Unley Swimming Pool. Had a whole lane to myself there - even though it felt hot to me, most Aussies don't go to the outside pool unless it's over 30c! Good new farmer's market near there too. Anything else? Oh yes, Suree's Thai restaurant - got to be up there in the best we've ever had (banana leaf chicken, chilli pork balls, everything we had was amazing). Got a fair bit of family stuff in too, both SJ's and seeing my uncle Ian.
