Well hello everybody! It's been a lil' while since I've been here to write NEthing, so I figured it was about time I checked in with you all again. :)

I haven't been home much at ALL in the past couple of weeks, so my time available to swing past here has been basically nil. I've been away on camps the past couple of weekends, one in Adelaide and the other in Melbourne.

And that's what my first message is about - flying to Melbourne. I dunno about some of you (trying not to look directly at Huskey), but I'm no expert when it comes to flying. I think I can count the number of times I've flown on both my hands, so I haven't been in planes much during my life really. Compound that (relative) lack of experience with my fear of heights, and you can imagine what sorta fun I have when it comes to flying.

Having said that, I always try and request a window seat if possible. I like to try and watch the nice and safe ground rush away as we take to the air. Sure, I'm gripping the arm rest QUITE firmly, but it's the only way I'm gonna deal with my fear - by facing it. (Those of you who have been with my Journal for a while prolly remember my earlier Journal Entry about my fear of heights) Sure, it means I get a lil' freaked out from time to time - but I hate being scared of heights, so I'm determined to beat it. :)

Now, once you get off the ground and are above the cloud level, it's actually quite pretty. It never ceases to amaze me how weird looking clouds are from above. I mean, they look like some kind of fluffy carpet, or cotton wool. Almost look solid from the top side, particularly when you've only just passed through them. It's weird how they don't look like that from below - does NEone know why that is?

NEhow, apart from that, flights to and from Melbourne went quite well. I got breakfast on the flight over, and dinner on the flight back, which is always nice. Particularly when you have to be on the plane at some ungodly hour of the morning, a lil' croissant and some cereal makes the day a lil' brighter. :D

More stuff to follow about my activities over the past fortnight. Read on, dear reader-person...
