So I finally made the big move and I’m now living in Melbourne. Time to update the little profile on the right side of this page! The last couple of days were pretty rubbish. I packed a lot of boxes and stuff and met up with a lot of friends for farewell gatherings and stuff which was nice but pretty ...

It’s quite fun because there’s quite a few characters in the program based on people I know. So far I’ve found: my mom, Jen’s mom, Matt, Barnaby and spotted ...
