Well, I feel like an old hand now that I've been at Commonwealth Bank for a few weeks. I'm really enjoying the job, leading a team of Service Designers, converting an existing SOA implementation to integrate with a SAP backend.
Tracey got her car last week and with all of the big things like bank accounts, schooling, jobs, housing, cars etc, out of the way, we're starting to organise the fun things now. We signed Holly up for "Little Nippers" at the local life surfing club and I signed up for surfing lessons every Sunday for the next two and a half months. We both go from 9am to 11am every Sunday. While I'm getting lessons, Holly does board skills and surf acclimatization. We're both quite excited!
We also had a lot of excitement in the household during the week with our first sighting of a possum in the garden. They're mostly regarded as pests here but we're obviously quite pleased to have them - for now! Tux, our cat, is also very pleased but it seems he has dinner in mind - hope we don't have any nasty confrontations. Yesterday I was busy showing Roger and Kerry around the garden with the webcam while we were skyping and I came across the possum again quite by accident. Got some nice close up action, though not too sure how it came across on the camera. The possum was really chilled and let us approach close enough to touch - Phoebe even managed to feed him a leaf by hand.
That's it for this session, I can hear my bed calling. Stay posted for further riveting revelations from Oz!
