12 September

11 September seems to have come and gone without any trouble. I've been enjoying work recently, trying to get a mini project finished in the next 3 weeks, with my colleague Glenn. It should make quite a difference to some of the folk we work with.

Tonight we had dinner (from the yummy Baan Thai) at Mum and Dad's place with my sister Sophie. She's been in Brisbane doing some swing dancing.

Still waiting on visas from the UK High Commission. Its hard to know how much to keep haranguing them. But there's only 26 days to go...

I'm happy to report that I passed my fitness test at Amberley the other day. I didn't break anything, and I was well inside the required standard, but a few extra percent aerobic fitness wouldn't go astray.

We've made arrangements to store my wine collection while we're overseas. The boxes are here, and we have to catalog and box all the bottles, and then cart it all off to Milton. We have our own padlocked "unit" in a climate-controlled area. The question of the minute is: given this great cellaring opportunity, how much nice wine should we buy now? There's plenty of room in my "unit"!

Next week is Cathedrals Week in Brisbane. I'm looking forward to singing in our concert at St John's on Saturday, although there's always heaps of packing and tidying up to do at home (and at work).

There's some nice Monteverdi on the radio. I'm going to have to sign off to go and listen more carefully. Beatus Vir is one of my favourites.
