Hey there folks, the hiatus i was on is largely over, things are about to get busy from here on:

I have moved to abeautiful 3 bedroom house on a large property about 270km north of Melbourne in a town called Barooga. I work in the neighbouring town Cobram, a 50 minute walk across the mighty Murray River. I'll post some pics soon.

What I originally was going for as a computing-physics-maths-science teacher has not changed much, except for the fact that I have made Head of Science, Head of Computing, Network Manager and the Home Room to the senior class. Quite an expansion, which i am pleased about.

In other news:

The book that I have started to write has got publishers approval - so itsa green light on that ongoing project - I'll keep you posted on that.

The research Masters/PhD that I am doing is gaining speed and support.

and now the weather: BEWDIFUL!!!

Now some may accuse me of 'bragging'etc, this is not my intention, just sharing some good news with y'all

Catch ya soon

Hey, DP! Good to hear you've settled down in your place in this universe! And looks like you're given greater responsibilities than what you expected. That's ok. We have confidence in you.
