Spring in Aus.

It was raining when I left Zurich, it was raining when I left London, it was raining when I left Bangkok and when I got to Sydney and eventually back to Brisbane, it was raining...

I have been told that it has not rained in Brisbane since I left Aus which is aweful news. We are in a major, major drought over here.

Today is early spring. Today it is not raining but due to the last few days, everything is looking particularly lush.

The weather is also particularly pleasant, I can hear some birds singing and there is a lovely tree sheltering me from a beautiful sunset that is painting the usually clear blue sky with a wonderful array of colours...

It is nice to be back but it totally surreal to see that except for the occassional new building, everything is same-same while I have grown up so much.

Although everything here is so familiar, including the total randomness and irony of Australian humour and the drunken street calls from Aussie men (*vomit*), I am really keen to get back to SoCal and find a job there.

I will go back to the States before the end of October and my plans from then til the end of the year are a little sketchy. I suspect I will be back in Aus for a beach day Christmas BBQ but will leave soon after to live and work in SoCal.

Hope to catch up with everyone soon!

Lots of love!
