holidays are over...

Well they have come and gone - three whole weeks. I think its good, I am ready to get back into work and give this PhD thing one final burst to finish it off.

We did close to 7000 kms this holidays and saw a good lot of the north - just an amazing part of Oz. We had to cut the trip a little short to attend my Pops (Grandfather) funeral in Albany. If was generally a good thing. He was not himself for a long time and to know that he has gone home is a relief. It has bought with it the usual reflection and thought over his life and with someone as dignified and as much of a gentleman as Pop there is only good stuff to remember. He was a quiet and gentle example of how to be a man and i think that is how i will think of him.
