February to date....

The reason we haven't put much on the blog lately is, well, we haven't really been doing anything particularly exciting. It's been just work for Nick, and study and hockey for me, with some socialising in between. We've had a few people over for dinner over the last few weeks, so have been enjoying cooking. We've even managed to make a few curries!

What was exciting this week, though, was catching up with Soph and Beks, who were in town for only a couple of days. We worked out that is has been 2 years since we last caught up with them, during which time we have both been married! So it was great to see them and get a feel for their life in Zimbabwe.

As for hockey, I seem to have progressed to the 1's, so it's getting a little more serious now (particularly since we are at the top of the latter only by goal difference, and if we lose a game we do not get promoted to the next comp.). I'm getting much fitter, particularly since I've joined a gym (for the first time in my life) because I can't motivate myself to run in the cold. Although, if I'm honest, this is actually quite a pathetic excuse, since the winter has so far been quite mild! The views from the treadmill cannot compete with the views on the Bank run (Sydney harbour for non-bank people), however I am learning more about antiques and bric-a-brac that I ever wanted to (there seems to be a disproportionate number of television shows on this subject over here, particularly at the time I seem to go to the gym!). As you can see, I'm struggling for things to write about!

Anyway, hope you're all well. Keep in touch!
