On Thursday the weather was supposed to be nice and sunny with a high of about 29 C so we decided to do a day trip to Ballarat which is the site of an old gold rush. The train trip was very pleasant and I was able to read a novel while Al played with [...]

Well, I have gotten a program that Al introduced me too that will allow me to post via email to my blog, facebook and twitter. Let’s see how it goes. Posted via email from nicoletedora’s posterous

Today Al had an interview so I took my new bicycle and rode to Flinders train station and took the train to visit the kids in jail. The ride was about 7km and went right past The Alfred Hospital where I’m going to be working. It took about 15 mins from leaving home to get [...]

Hey all, I was downtown today and the excitement is palpable. I saw a lot of different groups downtown. I think that the Sochi team from the next winter olympics were all over town. Today I saw a whole bunch of people with hundreds of pins on their clothes. I forgot to take my camera [...]
