Bryce’s Notes

Hiya folks,

Just a quick update on the food situation over here. I’ve now got a kitchen, so am starting to do some cooking for myself. Starting back off slow with a pasta bolognese, and have done a beef stir-fry. The prawns are pretty cheap over here, so next on the list might need to be a prawn pizza. Food prices vary between being way over the top (juice, for instance - $8 for a 2L bottle), to being pretty darn good (raw large banana prawns - $15/ kilo). Haven’t found yeast for pizza bases yet… will keep looking.

My place is now all kitted out and feeling well lived in. Wine is too expensive for everyday consumption, so I’ve filled my fridge with beer (literally). It’s a very nice way to finish the hot day by having a couple of lazy beers with dinner. Anyway, back to work.

The rain has stopped for the last week, but it’s been very, very hot and sticky. Even the locals are saying it’s unusual. Methinks my heat resistance from growing up in FNQ has all but disappeared after acclimatising to Canberra. Sigh. Fortunately, the office is air conditioned and there hasn’t been a power-out yet where the generators don’t kick in quickly (approx 4-6 power outages per day). My bedroom at home also has aircon which I use for a bit before I crash and when I wake up. The aircon in the lounge is on the fritz, so I’ll go and speak to the land-lord this evening about that.

Hope all is well back home and around the world.

Cheers,

Bryce.
