Well so much for the goal of posting once a week. There really hasn’t been that much to post about. Really, I swear.
I finished my thesis proposal and got it submitted. The presentation and exam will take place in January due to the holidays messing up scheduling. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
I did get to go home for Thanksgiving and stayed with Will and Katie for most of the time (Thank you again!) and Peter joined me for the last six days. We house sat (and most importantly Henri sat) for Chris and Andrew for a few days which was awesome. I loved hanging out with Little Man again.
We came home and it’s been raining almost constantly since. It’s hard to do anything when the roads look like this:
And the trail look like this:
But we did manage to make a couple of trips to find some great native orchids
The most exciting thing right now is that my mom and Geno arrive for a visit on Tuesday! They will be here until the 1 of January and we have planned a camping trip up the coast similar to what Pete and I did over Christmas 2009.
Love you all!
Hopefully it isn’t raining while they are there….. or that would make for an interesting camping trip. Maybe you could build an arc.
What do they do for christmas trees in australia?
We may indeed have to build an arc. Today is nice (when they arrive) and then it’s going to start raining again. We’ll head up north on Saturday and hope that it’s a bit drier up there.
The use lots of fake trees. I think most of the real ones are some form of pine, that has usually been formed and carved into a a shape that looks like an inverted, skinny top. Pete told me to give my traditional Doug Fir christmas tree cause if, and that’s a big if, we could find one it would probably cost an amazing amount of money. Perhaps we’ll grow our own in a pot, who knows. We wont have on this year since we are going to be camping/snorkeling/bbq-ing over xmas
