It’s been just over a month now being home. Routines are reestablished, reentry to both our jobs has started, we’ve both been paid, now it’s time for a little reflection. Aside from the obvious 2F’s (family and friends), here’s some of what has been good about being home (at least for a bit), and what we are looking forward to:

– being able to choose from a larger selection of clothes, and ready access to a washing machine and dryer. Note to self, gotta figure out a clothesline for the backyard.

– being in the North American time zone for following sports. Now, the downside is Paul will need to start getting up early on the weekends for F1 again.

– being able to make a proper dinner and desert. Maybe even finally have a try at baking bread? We’ve actually had a successful couple of weeks making a meal plan for the week on Sundays and alternating who’s on to cook!

– having a wee bit more residential elbow room.

– being able to spend time on the Sunshine Coast

– being able to repay the kindnesses that so many locals bestowed on us while we wandered around to tourists and travellers (and even locals), who may need a hand.

– not having to think about dollar conversion rates. Jordan, the EU and the UK were a little rough.

– the familiar sights and sites of home.

– refreshing our memories of the trip. Paul’s colleagues papered his office with photos from IG and the blog. Rather than chuck them, they’ve now become a collage that brings a little joy on the office days.
