Welcome back to Aus :) Were cats, dogs and the bf glad to see you return? I'm sorry you had such a hard time at LAX. Was it one of those strange full-moon events, or just th euniverse conspiring against you?

The Aus election result was both interesting and worrying - I'd been hoping for a Labour majority, but the idea of Abbott running a coalition where the veto power is in the hands of the ultra-conservative minority party is downright scary.

I hope you're going to get plenty of rest after all the jetlag, and spend a few days enjoying the sofa of comfiness and devoted attention from those who missed you...
