Brisbane is putting on a birthday party for Buddha this weekend but I've been too busy catching up with the ironing to go to the celebrations....had to settle for burning some incense and ringing a bell before a picture of Buddha instead.
I've recently learned how to make movies using my computer and am about to "capture" our video footage of last year's trek to Gokyo Lakes and Kalar Pattar to edit and burn to CD, then I'll have a go at burning the movie of our Annapurna Circuit to DVD ready to take to Melbourne next week to show a friend who we're hoping to inspire to come with us next year....
You know when winter is on its way when the wattle begins to bloom and its perfume wafts in through the windows....mind you, we're still wearing t-shirts and shorts. Winter in the tropics is a doddle!

April showers
So much for my big plans of posting at least once a week....
After a 5okm drive to work, full day's work, 50km drive home again, go for a walk, cook tea and cuddle with my partner I'm too buggered to even turn on the computer, let alone think about blogging.
April 22 is a redletter day in my calendar, cos it's the end of my stint of full-time work that began January 4. No more 6am alarms 5 days a week - well, 6 days really cos I get up early on Saturdays to go walking with Brisbane Frontrunners. I'll be back to 3 day weekends - Hooray hooray!!!
Lots of ups and downs this week....hurt my back on Monday, but made a digital movie from our footage of Kathmandu. Learned of a bomb threat made against us at work (we're a public library for gawd's sake), but won $60 in GoldLotto. Threw another sickie on Thursday cos my back was killing me and I hadn't slept a wink all night, but finally got around to downloading some of my favourite music into my recently purchased mp3 player.
And it's been raining for the past three days. Yipee! After months and months of boring old sunshine, we finally have some much needed rain and the garden's got a touch a green about it again.

Welcome
There's more to life than trekking....apparently. I'm not so sure....if I'm not actually trekking, I'm thinking about, dreaming, planning and getting ready for my next trek.
Of course, there's a lot of stuff that goes on in the little spaces left over from my trekking daze...
This is my life when I'm not trekking.
