We are getting back to normal after having my parents stay. Julia has been busy going to the local Mother and Baby group and meeting up with her sisters. I have been continuing my job hunting and it looks like I have good news on that front. I had a couple of interviews the week before and then went in to look at a practice on Thursday. There's a good chance I will get to work full-time in Moonee Ponds, which is only 7 minutes away on the tram. This would be amazing as given the sheer scale of Melbourne people often commute for up to an hour to get to their work place. There is still some paperwork and details to finalize but all going well I will be back at work by the end of March. I can't wait! I will let you know more about the job as and when things are confirmed.
Isla has been going great guns. She is perky through the day and sleeping reasonably well at night. She has lots of chat and smiles for us now. She has taken to sucking her fingers to settle herself. This is great when she finds her mouth straight away but is frustrating when she sticks her fingers in her eye or punches herself in the face and then starts to cry.
We have started to clear out the back room and set it up properly as Isla's bedroom and we are both enjoying this process. The house is becoming a proper home for the three of us.
And I've made some new friends! I discovered some guys in the area who are into the same nerdy board-games and roleplaying games that I've always been into and met with them in Bacchus Marsh on Friday night.
They all also have families and other commitments but enjoy the same kind of scifi/fantasy stuff I do and we will be meeting up every fortnight to play a game or two. Slowly but surely I am being amalgamated into this country.
