Obviously with an all clear, cos we’re all healthy. We still have to get the x-rays done and handed in, so the whole shooting match will be sent to Sydney for processing on Thursday or Friday next week. We were a bit worried about the medical – you know how these things are. As it

Right. Well, we’ve organised a nice little place to stay in for the few weeks remaining, and have an option of three months should it be needed. It’ll serve nicely as a base for whatever excursions we plan. Fortunately, the international shippers have managed to squeeze us in on Thursday, despite the horribly short notice

Well, last night involved working out exactly what needed to be done. Todays tasks are to get Crown Relocations organised for next week to take the stuff we’re moving to Oz into storage. We need to sort out what we’re taking to a rented place. Realistically it’s only going to be what we can take

Our case officer has just approved us on our preliminary assessment and has requested we submit medical and police reports. Our medicals are taking place on Saturday, with the radiology appointments set up for the following wednesday.

Latest dates are in from DIMA in Adelaide. Applications lodged between 28th November and 5th December are currently being allocated. Not only is this us, but we’re also at the top of the pile. What this could mean is that things could now hurtle along at a brisk rate of knots, with medicals being requested

My brain is old and atrophied. I started out with an age of 59 then dropped down to 45 now I’m back up at 57 again. Harrumph. Mined ewe, it’s early days yet. Debbie had now been inducted into the evil obsessive world of Sudoku, thanks to the lovely elegant interface and wealth of puzzly

We gave Adelaide a sneaky call in the wee small hours and they confirmed that they’re currently processing the 20th of November, so it looks like the estimates are right. So we’re looking at about 4 weeks, I reckon, until it’s all over. Our house buyer reckons it’s all on again. Yeah right. We’re going
