Back from a break

Well I'm back from a week off. phew.

I never thought that I would become anything like a work-a-holic. Certainly when I first started work in Australia, I would leave work behind me as soon as it was 5 each day. Not a care in the world. As my work load and responsibility has increased, so has my stress.

I had my first full week off in a year. I couldn't stop myself from logging in remotely to work until thursday. How terrible is that?! Not quite the chilled out relaxed Ozzie that I thought I was. Oh well. It was a great week off. By the end of it, I had finally caught onto the act of sleeping in. Mmmm. sleeping in until 10 most mornings was fab! I didn't really do to much. An afternoon kip here, a spot of shopping there, good times all around really.

The real good news though is that my folks have now left Australia! Crazy. They've now landed safely in singapore and are going to spend the next month eating and sweating a great deal.

They had to call me, at work, to let me know that not only were they safe but that they had just eaten at THE BEST CURRY HOUSE in the world. Komla Villas is a little place in singapore run by some die hard vegan hindus. Any kinda of real curry they'll knock up for you, but the real treat is the mini banquet. Basically, it comes out, not on a plate, but on a large banana leaf. You'll have your 5+ different curries, a few roti parathas and some rice. Not only that, but some nice old gentlemen will come around and top up anything running low.

So yeah. Being told that they were full on top notch curry did NOT make my morning.

I'm not sure how I'm going to get them back. I'm sure I can come up with something nice and cheeky :- ).
