To be honest, I have heaps I want to put down on the blog. Something for me to look back to perhaps once this is all done and over with. However, I am still somewhat getting back to "Aussie mode" after spending 10 lovely days with the folks and catching up with some selected mates.
Coming from a mixed background - but seeing that I am marrying to a completely different one, I wanted to incorporate some of these things in but trying to coordinate things from across the seas really doesn't help esp as mum is hindered by the fact that dad is not really doing very well with his recovery (more on that later).
Never mind, this is just the beginning eh.
