Autumn is on it’s way, it’s getting dark earlier, and it’ll soon be Christmas! Well ok, it’s still about 14 or so weeks until Santa uses the chimney as a door, but it’ll soon be getting much colder! On the upside though, at least we won the Ashes in the Cricket!!

Recently we spent almost 2 weeks on the road, being in Sheffield for a day or so, and then Glasgow for the remainder of the time. It gets very wet and windy in Glasgow, and it wasn’t too warm - you actually have to wear a jacket half the time in August! I managed to get a short trip to Edinburgh one day when Dawn was working, and also saw parts of Glasgow that I hadn’t before. Check out our Photos section for a few pics I took!

On Saturday we both spent the day in London - Dawn at an interview, me just wandering about - catching random tube trains and buses! Currently Dawn is waiting to hear from a couple of labs in London, and one of the Glasgow labs which may be opening a lab in London. So maybe we’ll end up in London - or if that doesn’t work, maybe we’ll look at something else.

I’m hoping to send off my visa application in the next week so maybe we’ll end up downunder at some point soon. As you can tell, things are still very much up in the air here!!

Since my last entry, we got to the show (The Producers) without too many problems - the tube in London at the time still had a number of lines either not in operation, or partially working. We enjoyed the show, and the fact we had box tickets given to us made it even better! However, if you’re ever in the theatre district of London, do not go to the Indian Restaurant opposite Theatre Royal, on Drury Lane! We had a curry there, and it wasn’t that good. In our photo section we have a couple of photos from the evening - Elliott, a friend from uni, was playing drums in the band that evening.

We made a trip to Glasgow on Wednesday - it was my first time to Scotland. We were following some potential employment leads, and it looks like we’ll be making another trip there next week, as well as to Sheffield. The overnight bus coming back was a killer, so I think we’ll make that a day trip next time! Currently there is a Piping Festival in Glasgow, so every where you walked in the city centre you would hear bagpipes being played!

It’s my birthday coming up on the 27th, and it looks like we will be in Scotland that weekend. We have also now put together our Wedding Photo Album! We were given an album as a present, which we have used to put 72 photos into it from the Wedding & Reception in England, and the 2nd Reception in Australia. The Australian Spouse Visa application is still being worked on, and I hope to be able to submit my application in early September.
