Back to Melbourne for the first time in a few months over the weekend. I was sick for most of it, but little one went to ifly and had fun. She was so small compared to every else. Some poor bastard was told in front of everyone he was (basically) too fat to do the hifly.
I went to my old primary school and donated two copies of my kids book. It's so surreal seeing how much it has changed. I'm hoping to make it back to do a talk with them sometime this year.
From time to time I think about moving back to Melbourne and then I drive along Plenty Road and remember why I never will. God I do not miss that road.
And woke up at 4am to catch my flight on Sunday morning. Of course it was cancelled. Thankfully mum picked me up and I napped for a bit. Caught the 2.50 flight and drove 90 minutes home and slept like the dead.
Still feeling like crap though. Took yesterday off work because my throat felt so raw.
3 weeks straight I've been sick with various things. Kinda getting over it.
Somehow Plenty Road never makes it into any of the tourism campaigns, not sure why.
Most people get a taste of CityLink when they arrive, surely that'll whet their appetite.
