10 years in!

Yes, Happier but not content if that makes any sense. I get to see my son all the time. That is the once really great thing about Australia. The system here defaults to 50/50 and you would have to be very bad indeed for the courts to rule against you. So I get every other week, PLUS probably another 2 or 3 days in her week (Well mornings and after school plus when he asks for a play date with his dad). Last time I tallied up my diary I had him for 83% of the year so not bad at all.
I know way too many fathers in the UK that are lucky if they have one weekend per fortnight. (I don't get much work done though!

Just thought I'd stop by and say I've now been here in Australia for 10 years! I was going to type up a huge missive on the occasion but realised it can all be summed up in one song! Neil diamonds, "I am, I Said"
Hi everyone, and a big hello to all the other volunteer self exiled convicts out here.

Glad to hear you're more resigned to being there now Arkon, well more than when I was last on here, stuck on your farm in whoop whoop.
And hi to everyone else!
I've been home over 6 years now which I can't believe, it's flown by.
Bestest of luck to all of you wanting to come back. It's worth it. Even on wet winters days, preceded by weeks of the same, wild horses wouldn't drag me back, unless it was a jaunt to see my friends

Maybe not at first, but within a relative nano second it will, as it is and always will be!
