I am learning to appreciate the rain, I hear the residents of Brisbane are doing little jigs of joy at the latest "deluge" ... <i'll find a jiggy joy smily at some point>

Blimey! Congrats on the visa! Blinkin marvellous way to start the week in my view. So when are you off?
It's brightened up a bit here (Cambridge UK Willmore). Sunny and calm now. Can't tell the temp - they've got the office heating on full blast so it's the balmy tropics in here. I suspect it may be a little colder outside.
Not sure I like all these reports of an arctic winter to follow......I'm not good at winter

It's pretty bright in Kent, good job too, I've got some stuff I need to sell now ... way too much baggage kicking around
![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The winter doesn't sound too promising does it? I mean, a few flakes of snow and the M11 grinds to a halt anyway ... let's hope they grit it this time

Ahhh, snow and the M11. I work just off the M11 and two years ago the majority of my colleagues were the ones stuck there all night (I stayed at work that night). Mind you, earlier this year I thought I would battle home despite the snow and hit black ice in the scariest blizzard I've ever seen and pranged my car into a tree. It was the start of what is now known as Crap 2004.

Took me a LONG time to haul myself out of it and if there's one thing I learnt then there are some things that you can't just "work through" on your own. I should've got help sooner, I hope you have friends around you and you are getting the support that you need

Yep. On the Monday I was whinging on here about a broken washing machine. On the Wednesday I pranged my car and got mild concussion and mild hypothermia after spending nearly 6 hours sitting in it awaiting the RAC. On the Thursday I found out my mum had breast cancer, on the Friday the RAC lost my broken car and on the Saturday the plane taking me to Jersey to be with my mum was bucketed about by a very violent storm. I spent most of the next 5 months in Jersey, got hell at work because of it and now Mr B and I are looking at life in the UK rather than Oz having been just two weeks away from me lodging my spouse visa. And I've no idea what will happen next, but given the rest of this year, I'm not expecting anything good. And yes, friends have done their best, but I am slightly inclined to see someone more professional due to the dramatic number of *life changes* taking place at the moment.....
