Back in Brisbane

It's a good thing that we came over to Malaysia with very little in our bags, because there's no way we would have fit our shopping for the return flight otherwise. All three of our bags were packed to capacity and if the airport scales are to be believed then we've accumulated another 7.5kg of clutter. As previous posts have indicated I'm also unfortunately carrying a bit more weight on my person for the trip back to Brisbane.



The flight back was pretty comfortable and I'm impressed with the service on Qantas. We asked and got upgraded to an exit row which was vacant so our legs got some much appreciated stretching room.

Got a little ripped off by the cab ride from the airport, but it was good to just get home without fussing with public transport and a walk up the hill. The house is still standing and the garden remains in good shape, with grass that's suspiciously short (no doubt thanks to John) and a rapidly spreading mass of courgettes that aren't content with remaining in the vegie patch. The grevillea and himalayan ash have grown tremendously as well, and we look forward to the shade they'll provide up front. We were especially pleased to see the progress our neighbours have made with the retaining wall and fences, looks like we'll be able to re-landscape that section of the house soon.

Read some rotten news about the iPad when we got off the plane. Seems like I'll be waiting another month before I can get my grubby mitts on one, due to lack of supply. Damn the iPad for being so darn popular.

Nice to be back home. At least we won't have to go back to work till Monday.
