Holidays be upon me!

I’ve had a week of freedom from the entanglements of university and it has been great. Europe and America should be jealous of me, because I’ve been spending days on end at the beach browning up. I’ve had some much needed time to finish of Splinter Cell, and get back into the coding routine – especially now that I have my motherboard back after five weeks of awol maintenance. At least it all works now.

Today my house was attacked by a kookaburra, and after trying to get it out of the house i realised i’d never been so close one before. A pair of the birds live in the gum tree out the back, and they come back every year to have babies and get fed chicken by us. If you’ve never seen one before, here’s a photo I took of it trying to understand how something could be so transparent but so solid.

In other news, in 6 days I’ll be leaving for my next adventure, to the wonders of Turkey, Egypt & Israel. I’ll be gone for 7 weeks to grab some fresh (or very polluted) air for my clogged up head. Very exciting!
