Just chit chat to update previous posts.

The final count in the state election is still to be completed but the Labor government will be returned with a reduced majority. The key figures say they have understood the electorate's dissatisfaction with their perceived arrogance and "pushy" non consultative style, but so far I see no evidence that they are going to change their behaviour!! It could be 4 more years of the same stuff that has been turning the people off, and then Labor will definitely lose the next election.

Have resolved the issues with MBSA about paying me, and am happy to do the next bit of work for them but I have to wait for the "main player" to produce a time line during which I can get involved. If it's not possible to do the work before 16th April, then it won't get done by me. Eion and I leave for our overseas holiday on April 20th and I want the few days beforehand to sort out all sorts of things (like making sure there is sufficient dog and cat food for the 9 weeks we are away!).

My friend in Nepal is now connecting with lots of her mates, and me, through Face Book as it's easier to write quick notes on it than composing new blogs. Fine by me - I love hearing from her any which way.
