Whew! Ok, so let me fill you in on the latest and greatest in my life.

The funniest, and first therefore off the rank, is my Harry Potter dream. I dreamt I was a student at a boarding school where the students individual bedrooms were built in a circle, like an "O", and the centre had been hollowed out and turned into a tropical marine aquarium. Each bedroom had a large wall-to-wall window that was a view into the aquarium. It was sports day, and there was a swimming carnival going on in an aquatic centre annexed to the school building (which was on a reef, wtf?). If you weren't competing, you were entitled to dress up in wild and wacky costumes and support the competitors. I had the genius idea of dressing up as something from Harry Potter. A Death Eater no less. o_O I made it up to the swimming pool area and then had to battle my way to the seating waving my wand and yelling things like "wingardium leviosa" and the like, because I couldn't remember for the life of my how to disarm ("expelliarmus") opponents - of which there were suddenly many non-Death Eater wizard costume wearers! - to my Death Eater look! lol.

My return home to Oscar and Indigo ... let's not address Oscar. Suffice to say he was grumpy and hissed and growled if anyone even looked at him. I later inspected him and found he had a shredded ear. Treatment for that is occurring. Indigo on the other hand was a little cautious but otherwise generally welcomed me back with open paws. She loved me up until I treated her for fleas and clipped her claws. Still, she forgave me and has deigned to sleep on my bed with me these last few nights either spooning or lying belly to belly (she sneaks under the covers). She's also gone absolutely nuts over the fact that I brought back the original scratching post that I had brought over from Adelaide for her to use when I first got her. She launches herself at it in a flying leap in order to attack, bite and shred the damn thing. It's hysterical to watch.

My job prospects are reassuring. Yay! Relief! Etc. One girlfriend alone has two positions she can put my name forward for that are PA roles.

That's all for now folks! Oh, wait, no - Port Augusta was lovely, and it was really great to see Darius again. I really enjoyed spending time with him doing the stuff we both like doing - driving around seeing things and taking photos etc and watching films that we enjoy ... as a start. Good times, good times. We made curry, and we BBQ'd on another night. Yum.
