New diary format
I've implemented a slightly new diary format in this edition, due mostly to number of photos.

In the interests of reducing download time, the diary only has thumbnails. These in turn link to larger versions.

This should substantially reduce the time it takes to load the page while still allowing you to see large photos (larger than previously possible) if you want to.

"Gee you're brave"
Well at least it seems that a lot of people think that Chris and I are brave. After all we sold everything and headed off into the unkown.

But, bravery is the confrontation of fear, there cannot bravery without fear, and, as we don't fear doing what we're doing we are not brave to do it.

You see I've been moving around for as long as I can remember (actually even longer), I must have lived in 40 houses and in 20 towns, cities and countries so I just see this change in lifestyle as an extension of that.

Now take the scenario that probably 80% of Australians follow, living in the same house in the same town with a steady job while raising three kids, that's so scary I can hardly bring myself to write about it.

So no, we're not brave, just doing what we want to do and having a ball. Are you?

Till next time then, and remember,

don't dream it, be it!
