Easter chocolate frenzy!

Well, not exactly. Although we did do a lovely Easter Egg hunt in the garden with the little ones.
The good news is I have a couple of weeks off work. Bad news, marking. Just when I think I have two seconds to rub together. Also housework. Why is it that the amount of housework you have to do expands to fit the time available? It's one of those universal laws. Something like the amount of money you expend always expands to fill the amount of money you have. Or why one sock always goes missing...?
Things are really good at the moment. Loving teaching, the new courses appear to be doing well. Having fun with Kate with less stress than before, now the pressure of phd is off for a bit.
My friend Larina kindly finished off the last study for part1 of phd this week, so now I need to get a few bits and bobs done and then we can get the thing evaluated. Hurrah!
Weather's getting cooler. We're off to Canberra on Wednesday, hopefully taking Kate on her first horse ride! She should love it, I hope.
Other than that, life is good. Loving it. We're off to Algeria at the end of June. Woot! Adventures! We'll get to see the new house and shops and where all our funds have gone over the past few years. I really think we've done the right thing getting the house built for the family, even though we'll never live in it. Something about the Karma of doing the right thing.
We've started a design business. Well, we've registered a business, got the paperwork done and the website up. Now if we ever get a client, I'll die of shock!
Mind you, it's the right thing to do. Nothing like starting a little business in a recession...
