Well, here I am at the National Library (in Canberra) able to access the internet/emails at last. Neil is at the conference at Geoscience Australia today, so I am a free agent, and enjoying exploring old haunts. Was going to go shopping, but will instead visit the Botanic Gardens, National Museum and National Gallery if I get time.
I am glad to see Ann is enjoying her newest grandchild in NY, though I imagine by now everyone there will be feeling a little sleep deprived.
We are staying in a b&b in our old street, so it was nice to catch up with an old friend just a short walk away yesterday. Canberra is having a cold snap this week, just for us, but it is really what we expected.....foggy cold mornings, with glorious sunny afternoons. Last night we also caught up with another couple we had not seen for over 20 years. They moved to Wagga Wagga soon after we returned from Perth, then we went to Melbourne after they returned to Canberra.
Not looking forward to our long drive back on Friday, but since I have work arranged for Saturday, it has to be done.

Ah, good to hear from the travellers. Hope you enjoy the bracing winter atmosphere in Canberra! Yes, the New Yorkers are all a bit sleep deprived, but doing not too badly under the circumstances. Liam is feeding well. And sleeping well, in between 2-3 hrly feeds..! Love from Ann
