Taste and Smell

The more you read the less you know sometimes. They say that both are associated with memory and this deeply affects how you taste... but I just bit into Lindt 70% cocoa and the first thought that popped into my mind was... NISSAN BEEF RAMEN.

ok, I give up.

Outpourings of Emotion in Neat Little Packages

..and I don't quite want to live through it again but between now and the last post-

Ingrid left Australia

My dear floorball superstar, so wonderful and funny and kind went back to the Netherlands and I miss her drinking antics. We should have gotten way way way drunker far far far more often. Cheers :)

Petra left Australia

The sister that I never had was here, back, here and back again. What a whirlwind, I'm missing her heaps and this last goodbye had far more impact compared to the last one.

Still missing- Bronwyn and Adriaan- The champion Canadians, so awesome and so friendly. It turns out Bronwyn's friend Nick is also a coffeegeek to the umph degree.

Break for a day- No, then yes to May- It's been past four months with my sushi burrito. The Bad Things between us have been worked out and are continually being worked out. There have been quite a lot of tumultuous times and while the dust is still settling, the hard times are behind us. She's out of Ipswich, and that's just the beginning.

New friends- Sheilind & Mary-Cris: May's new housemate and his partner. Dwellings, pyrotechnics, lots of good food and lots of good company.
