A long absence explained

Firstly, I am so sorry that it's been so long between posts :/ For some reason, I can't post at work, they've got some blockers up so that probably explains it all (as well as my absence on Facebook...). I will try and make more of an effort to get online more though, I really don't like sitting there at work when something occurs to me that I really want to post but then I can't and it just goes by the wayside and then you can't post them later because it just seems out of context, for example: 'Sitting here, at my desk, with my glue-stick, scissors, paper and sticky-back plastic in front of me, I realise that I've missed my vocation. I should have been a Blue Peter presenter' Which would have worked really well as a one off, but seems odd now. Anyway, married life is fantastic. We're loving every minute of it. We decided that we needed to do a married sort of permanent gesture and so we've bought an aquarium (because they don't interfere with Mr M's asthma) and we've got 2 baby barramundi* (Walter and Minnie), one goldfish (Arthur) and 3 angel fish (Rod, Jane and Freddy - which still amuses me greatly but went completely over Graham's head...). We've also got a couple of un-named fish who haven't displayed enough personality to warrant names yet. We've had a couple of fatalities (a goldfish called Bubbles (because he loved playing in the aerator - 'My bubbles! Mine!) and a barra called Gutso but we've dosed the others with medicine and they seem to be doing fine so fingers crossed they'll stay that way! I've been in my new job for a month now and I'm loving it! It's a larger office than the last place but still quite a small firm. I work with a paralegal for two solicitors, one of whom pours out a heap of work - enough to keep both of us busy and the other's quite quiet. All in all, we're generally busy, the atmosphere in the place is great and it's just a fantastic place to work. They put on morning tea for people's birthdays and if someone leaves, or arrives, or for any excuse really! I've got to put in my new application for my visa in the next week and have been gathering all the evidence needed. I'm worried, because I'm a worrier, but I really don't think that we'll have too much of a problem. there's an 8-10 month waiting list in Queensland at the moment so even if they do reject my application, we'll have even more evidence by the time they get round to it to make an appeal :) I hope to be online more often soon because we've now got a computer. We've got a little trouble because we don't have the power cord for the monitor, but we're working on that one. A friend is giving us a webcam so all we'll have to do is set up the internet and not only will I post more often but I'll be able to go on skype which should be great! I can't wait and will keep people updated on that one. Anyway, I'd better go, I have copying to do (honestly, the Department of Immigration must go through several forests a day the amount of paperwork they require). Love you all and miss you! *the spell checker doesn't recognise barramundi and suggests barracuda - I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that we don't have barracuda in the tank...
