No, it's not Mao's Revolution--it's the Big Leap towards Sydney! Last week, Jeremy was offered a job with Thompson Reuter's as a legal editor for their Laws of Australia encyclopedia! Yay!! The 13th is his first day so we're outta here early tomorrow morning and hoping to find a new home before next week.
So, this week was my last day at Bella Donna! Yay for that too!! It seems that the job is consistently sliding downhill as out owner really has no motivation at all to make her business succeed. We're nearly out of cups, spoons, napkins, milk (essential to make gelati) and even some of the core ingedients. The one thing that does seem to be in abundance is some extra weight which unfortunately, I have found myself wearing. Humph. So, with the move to Sydney, Jeremy and I are embarking on a 6 month ice cream fast! No, I'm not psycho and yes, I can do it. I did it for 4 months once before so I feel confident that I can do it again. :)
Last night we said our goodbye to several of his friends by having one last dinner at a Korea restaurant. It was so great to be eating galbi again. I forgot how wonderful Korean food can be. I can't say distance has made my heart grow fonder of kimchi but my love for bean paste is ever abundant. We got to speak a bit of Korean with the staff and teach all of his friends about Korean table manners and how to toast someone in Korean. It was really fun. I will certainly miss these guys. They have been so accepting of me and have certainly made my time in Brisbane fun. I hope we'll find new friends soon in our new home in Sydney!!

So, I'll say goodbye with just a few shots of the Brisbane city skyline.
The previous two photos were taken with Jeremy's camera. I love my camera and think it takes beautiful photos but his definitely does better night shots. The following two are from my camera...
Goodbye, Brisbane!!

All sounds good. More adventures await, have fun.
Wow, Reuters, huh? As in the news source?
Cool news on the move. Hopefully things work out as nicely for you in Sydney as they have for Jeremy. :)
Beth, sorry it's taken me AGES to reply... Yes Reuters but also no at the same time... They merged with a publishing house called Thompson which produces lots of educational and legal titles and Jeremy is editing articles for an encyclopaedia called The Laws of Australia. But, the good news is that they have offices all over the world (including the US) and that could one day allow us to come live there. :)
