It would have been nice...

...to blog yesterday! But Blugger wouldn't let me sign in the entire day. I had a lot to say, and it's pretty frustating when you can't. Funny how that never mattered before I started blogging - I'd just keep things to myself and never share.

So a couple of things I would have blogged on yesterday:

* We paid our tickets! I couldn't stop grinning for the whole of Tuesday afternoon. Everything is set, and we're on our way soon. It's still unbelieveable, but exciting. I also had news of another miracle - a wealthy couple (who wishes to remain anon) offered to either pay our tickets now, or will pay if we move to Australia! Woah... that's BIG. It's strange how we tried for years and years to get there, and doors just kept slamming in our faces. Now suddenly doors are opening so fast that I can't keep up. I suspect the Big Move might actually happen.

* We celebrated on Tuesday night with chocolate and a truly wonderful bottle of grape juice. There goes the diet, but it was worth it!

* Getting up really early to walk gives one a very different perspective on the world. We've discovered where the barn owls roost - right across the road in a palm tree that we pass constantly, and never knew it! We've watched the sky lighten and the sun rise. We've seen shooting stars. We've found random friendly dogs en route. We've felt better that we have in a long time - fitter, more awake, more relaxed. This morning we watched a bank of fog move in over the lights, and as I type this it has just reached my office. Seasons change.

* Something REALLY WEIRD happened to me yesterday. I got up from lunch and suddenly felt really, really tall. I thought it was just an unbalanced-ear-liquid thing that was giving me the illusion of feeling tall, but noticed I could see the tops of shelves that are normally just above eye level! No, I wasn't wearing high heels. And then I started shrinking - literally. The tops of the shelves disappeared and my son went from chin level to eye level height again. I can't explain what the heck happened. It was just really, really strange - and not an illusion!

* Class is improving - sorta. I have one class today though that I'm not sure what to do with. The other group missed a day and we made it up yesterday, but they're only all going to be together tomorrow to start a new section, so I'm going to have to dream up something to keep the first group busy for an hour this morning.

Well, let me rush on in to the working day. Much to do, much to organise, and time waits for no-one. More blogging to follow - provided Blugger co-operates.
