Ready to start posting again.

I know there are a few people who have been missing my posts, and I want to apologise for my absence.  It has been an interesting year, but I think I might have my head back in order enough to keep the poor old blog active.

A lot has happened since my last post over a year ago - including more than a dozen half-written posts that I couldn't bring myself to complete.

I'm still working my dream at the Mowbray Veterinary Clinic as a Vet Nurse, and loving every moment of it - through the good times and bad.  One of the bad times was in September when I was barbed by a Platypus and spent 8 days in hospital, 5 of those on a Fentanyl pump (push button, get pain relief) due to the intense pain Platypus venom inflicts on the human body, and a further 4 weeks off work, and another 4 weeks of reduced hours - more of that on another post (that's one of the longer unfinished ones).

We have added a new animal to the family - a handsome Standardbred (that's a Horse to those not in the know) named Captain, who has become almost as much a part of Broc as Gypsy is of me.

There have been camping trips, trail rides, parties and dinners.

Broc has been a dutiful house husband the past few months, keeping it all together while my work hours slowly increase.

I have struggled with some weight gain, and struggled more with trying to lose it.

We have been looking at property on and off over the last several months, and while there are a few prospects, nothing concrete yet.

That's it for now, starting work at 12 for a 7 hour shift, so I need to head off and get organised.  See you again soon!
