So, you might ask, what is it like living somewhere where you are suddenly anonymous?
To be honest? Refreshing. I still miss my friends and some of the comfort of familiarity, however, being out of my comfort zone is proving to be a growth experience. Confidence I didn't even know I had lost, is growing.
Two years ago tomorrow I almost died. After twelve months of hell I got back to work, (with the help of family, friends and three people, Sue, Stephanie and my doctor Mark). Two years ago I didn't know I had a future, let alone one that had me moving myself and my 18yr old to a major city, re-starting a career and thinking about my post-grad study program.
Canberra is a very interesting place to live. Just passing parliament house on the way into the city still has me in awe. I hope I never loose that.
The weather is crisp, especially this time of year. I can knit as much as I want and I will get to wear what I produce. The farmers market is huge and I am starting to network amongst the producers.
M and I are going to hit the garage sales and the museum this long weekend and see what we can find for the house.
Will Keep you posted,
Kez.

What is it about running Red Lights in the ACT?
Have you ever run a red/stop light?
Was it intentional?
Since moving to the Nation's Capitol I have seen some of the most blatent law breaking in this regard.
It doesn't usually happen on intersections with red light cameras, though I do see the occassional flash from those.
Tailgating is another notable passtime. This little country mouse is used to have more personal space. And lets face it no one gets that close to my rear end without a decent meal and a movie.
There is a great radio ad here at the moment that states our traffic jams last 15 minutes not 3 hours, and its true.
So what is the rush? Set the alarm twenty minutes earlier.
Have a leisurely trip into work, grab a latte to takeaway and listen to Scotty and Nigel. Chill, you'll get there safely and have the opportunity to see all the other idiots on the road without joining their ranks.
