I wrote this in stages, around the time I returned to the UK last September for the first time since I left to move to Sydney in March 2017. It’s kind of a long one but was pretty therapeutic for me to write so, it stays. One week before returning, I’m not really giving much thought to it. I’m busy booking travel, figuring out dates, rearranging things. I’m going back for my granny’s funeral which means things are a little short notice, and I’m scrambling to get everything done and packed to leave on time. I’m mostly looking forward to…
Happy 2019! We made it! And yes, I’m still alive. Seeing as I last stopped by at the end of October, I thought I’d fill you in on what’s been going on with me since then. Sneak peek: Let’s begin! The new apartment is great It feels like I’ve hardly set foot in our apartment since we moved in, but we did manage to squeeze in a housewarming party whilst my Mum was still over here which was definitely an achievement. So far, the flat is working out pretty well for us, especially given how much cheaper it is than…
I don’t mean to make this overly dramatic, but it might be a bit obvious that I haven’t been posting so I’m showing up quickly to explain why. Well, sort of. To begin with… Since we last spoke, things got really interesting really quickly.

You can sign up at the end of this if you haven’t already. The TL;DR of the situation is that I now…
I normally post something here on my actual birthday, because it seems like a fun thing to do (like the year when I was in Santorini, or Bangkok, or my first birthday in Australia last year), but this year apparently the fun boat left me far, far behind. So far behind that it’s been almost two months since the day itself…. Oops. Ehh, things have been a little hectic around here. I may have mentioned that things got a bit busy for me in May (and April, and kind of March too?) so my birthday somewhat crept up on me…
Well hello there oh great neglected space. It’s been a hot minute since I showed up here (although my page views have been some of their highest ever, how’s that for validation) and I have a LOT to update you on. If you thought updatey your matey was big, this is huge. I mentioned it back in my last post here, almost a month ago. And then I just… vanished. More about that in a minute, but first let’s get to the news because there’s clickbait and then there’s just being annoying. We got our permanent residency visas! This will…
