Lock up your daughters!

[dalekboy]

Yes, I am now officially living in the nation's capital. Did the two day drive up the coast, feel totally wrecked but happy.

Will be quiet as I recover and work at unpacking and sorting stuff, plus slowly starting to know my new hometown. There will be a housewarming in a few weeks, but of course anyone wishing to pay a visit before then would be more than welcome.

I will limit my going out in the short term so that I can concentrate my energy on the unpacking and such.

Cheers,
Danny

Dude. Wouldn't mind having you over for dinner some time. Sharon can vouch for my good character. :)

(Or, in actually reading what you said, dropping by. Possibly with food. :) )

Glad you're there all safe and sound!! Yay!!

Miss you :)

Can't wait to talk to you - won't be until the weekend at the earliest, more likely next week.

*love*

Be Welcome Ye Scurvy Dog!

Avast ye and welcome to the Burley Griffin, the home of such scalawags and rascals as make used car salesmen look like fine respectable citizens. Why, there be politicians and diplomats aplenty here.

I'll certainly be wanting to drop in on ye sometime soon so if ye could be giving me a hoy I'll ride on up the hill.

Cap'n John on the good pirate trike Arcadia!

Yes, you certainly did the two day drive up the coast. Every last kilometre of it.

"Danny, maybe you should let me drive for a while."
(Danny clutches the steering wheel tighter) "Oh, I'm feeling OK, I'll just do this next little bit and see how I go."

You are insane, and stubborn, and gorgeous. Canberra deserves you, it just doesn't know what it's been given yet.

You didn't consider the gentle application of percussive maintenance as a persuader? Or even stealing the car keys on the second day?

Re: Bigger Hammer

[tikiwanderer.livejournal.com]

I thought about a number of persuasive methods, but he was so delighted at being able to drive his car I didn't have the heart to take it off him even for a minute unless he was definitely and absolutely too-badly-off to drive.

I think that stealing the car keys off him would have been funny. He can't run, but my dicky hand won't let me grab. So it would have been a great chase scene - me trying to trip him up in all kinds of inventive ways that would cause the keys to come flying out onto the ground where I could get them.

Re: Bigger Hammer

[arcadiagt5.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Besides whilst Danny was enjoying the driving you got to enjoy the scenery so it was a win all around. :)

That's assuming that there is some decent scenery between Melbourne and Canberra (plenty between Adelaide and Melbourne but thats kind of in the wrong direction).

Re: Bigger Hammer

[tikiwanderer.livejournal.com]

Oh, there was plenty of good scenery! The coast route is beautiful. I'll be writing it up over the next day or two.

Good Scenery

[arcadiagt5.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to it. Dare I hope for photos?

Glad you up there ok and yeah two trip is much better than trying to do 8 hour or so in one day .

Your house rocks and no going hiding from Sharon in underground lair ;).

The circularness of Canberra is really weird , we talked about it alot when we came home .

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

There's an underground lair?

[lilysea.livejournal.com]

There is! I've seen it.

[tikiwanderer.livejournal.com]

It's a very cool underground lair. With lots of parsley. But it scares the dog.

[arcadiagt5.livejournal.com]

OK, this I have to see at some point...

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

To the Ozmobile! Awaaaaaaaaay!

Ozman and Tikiwoman. Sounds like an idea for a webcomic...

[lilysea.livejournal.com]

Welcome! *does a little happy dance, but only a little one, because I'm tired*

I'm so looking forward to hanging out with you and Sharon.

There's a picnic on this Saturday afternoon/evening, depending on how your energy levels are going - Sharon has the details. (:

[nrm1970.livejournal.com]

Welcome, welcome! What with yours and my recent arrivals, Canberra's coolness quotient has seriously increased :) Well, it would have been higher if I weren't here :)

Hope to catch up with you soon.

greetings

[thewickerman586.livejournal.com]

Nice, it'll be good to see you around. I'll be finishing all my uni work up around early to mid november and then hanging out would be great.

BTW I've got Masters of Horror waiting to be bought for me on Sunday! Hurrah!

Cheers
Paul
