Showing once again that i do take the considerations of my readers to heart, i provide another slide show for your perusal.

This one follows me from the end of exams on Thusday afternoon two weeks ago, though the end of exams party and then northwards to Sydney for a well deserved rest at Kirsten's. With fantastic timing, while Melbourne languished in rain and snow, we spent every other day at the beach, when of course we weren't eating, drinking or playing tennis.

Freedom is fun.

So is Frisbee.

The full set of photos will be appearing as usual on Smugmug if you want to see more of what we got up to...

I'm Finished!!!

It's an odd feeling. I feel like i should be euphoric - after all, this day is effectively the culmination of something i've now been working towards for over a 1/3 of my life - yet instead i feel...
something else...

Maybe it's the long cycle of study - exam - study - exam that has been most of the last five years and it probably hasn't really sunk in yet. And then there was Friday, just sowing those little pessimistic seeds of doubt in my mind. Still if i havn't heard anything by 5pm tomorrow, i'm away - home and dry. My fingers are crossed.

Melbourne has really pulled out the stops today, the sky is a brilliant, crisp blue, the breeze is balmy and the birds are singing. Waiting for Phil to get back so we can pull out the beers and toast, well, just about everything!

You know what?
I'm feeling good now.

When i have days like Friday and exams like that, this appeals to me more and more.
Apologies for the swearing, i was in a foul mood.
Two more to go...
