Backloading

Has been a good start to the working week. So many people back at uni, and so many that I know from when I was here before; either still here or been away and returned. It is so strangely familiar. Walking up the stairs to rm104, right next door to my old office. The green tree frog still on the wall, and even stranger, still photos of me all over our noticeboard. Got a decent desk, and getting into some kind of routine at last. need to go to sleep a little earlier though because I've been getting up at 6:30 every morning! I like catching the tram in, despite the crowd of commuters. So, SO good to see EP again; had dinner at her place twice. Wish I lived a tad closer so I could walk between her place and mine. Out of the blue AM rang me and will be coming to Adelaide to catch up. Has invited me back to Arno Bay for a visit. My immediate reaction was HELL NO, but actually, might be good to just visit, without the stress of fieldwork or being there for months on end. Dad may have found a car for me and will look into backloading to get it down here. Seems crazy but when I had the VW trucked it wasn't very much at all. Bit of a deviation from the original bike plan but I think I will still get plenty of exercise walking around. And look into getting a MTB when I'm back in Welly. Been a little windy, hopefully it will die down and be ok for diving on Saturday. Hopefully we will get to do Northern Outer because that means NUDIES :D but I am just itching to get into the water to be honest...
