Leaving home

In our last few weeks in Australia, we are upholding the pacer lifestyle. This term pacer comes back to a spelling error during the “Danpacers era”. A while ago I went up to Queensland for work, and in the time I was away, turned by two bedroom apartment into a sort of mini hostel.

So you know, what comes around goes around, so we are relying on our friends to give us a roof over our heads. We have been staying with Viv and Bret for the first portion of our stay, which has been really good, we can just walk to work etc. We don’t want to impose on them for the whole stay, so today we move over to Caroline’s house, multiple times Australian Women’s Footbag Champion…
We will stay there for about a week and then come back here, then finish off our time in Australia with a stint and Grandma and Grandpa’s in Sydney. Not really long at all to go to takeoff.
Let me remember how I felt just before leaving to go away to Queensland:
It has been great to have our friends help us out, and it has been fun to stay with Viv and Bret. We share some jokes and I have been reading various books that have been picked up from garage sales, borders closing down sales etc. I polished off Danny Buderus’ autobiography, now I reading about “Laurie and Clyde”, two of my heroes growing up, who I got to see in action earlier this year in Hay. You know, as much as these may be embarrassing to have in your collection, I actually really like to read these sports books, brings back a lot of memories.
