They don't look like fairies to me! Certainly not anything out of "A Midsummer Night's Dream!" And aren't they a bit overweight? Like rich bankers? Despite that I'm rather fond of them, unlike my feelings towards rich human bankers.

Those pictures are probably from Phillip Island....where I grew up.
I had no idea you could also see the penguins in Melbourne....not sure what it will be like seeing them at the pier here, or even what time I need to go tonight...must check.
OK, dusk, so 6.21pm.
I am of two minds about seeing them here in the city....there are a lot of stories about them being hurt or harassed by tourists and camera flashes and such.
Even in Phillip Island there are a lot of rules now to stop people from getting too close and frightening them.
When I was little, you could go right down to the beach and interact with them.
But there were no mobile phones in those days, and no one took photos and scared them.

I think I am a little braver than I thought I was: this week is showing me that.
I was really afraid to fly back here and then back to Columbus....lots of emotions involved, but mainly the pure difficulty of the long flights.
Now I only have one set of flights to go.....24 odd hours including getting to the airport. That's not so bad. And then I will be in the States on a visa that goes for a few years. And of course we have other plans.
I can do this. I am doing this.
Who is this person?
Certainly not the woman who drank and smoked grass for so many years ~ that person could not have done any of this. And she certainly could not have navigated her way through the difficult parts.
I was a little naive, OK, a lot naive with regards to how easy it would be to start my life with Nick, and in a whole new country. But I'm glad I was. I'm glad I had no idea that we would have to get through some really tough stuff right at the beginning. And I'm glad we did get through it....every single day we see how strong we are together, and every single day we appreciate each other more.
I love you Nick, just so much.
And I am incredibly proud of both of us, and so very excited about our life together.

Oh my love... I have no words... Certainly nothing that can add to the beauty of what you just said.
I love you beyond anything I could have imagined before ♥
I am SO proud of you, and of us. Who are these people? They are you and me... The *real* you and me, which we so adeptly bring out in each other. Together we can and will do everything.

Yes we will. We are.
Looking forward to another beautiful bike ride in the afternoon sunshine my love....and then many more. Looking forward to everything with you. And now I can visualise it all, and I can see it clearly. I can see our gorgeous apartment and I can see our future.
I love you. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Dear Suze and Nick:
Your most recent posts make me so very, very happy. May the Lord bless and keep you, may his light shine upon you and be gracious unto you. That of course is a Christian blessing but since many believe Christ was Jewish, for it is so written, I am with Him and therefore have an Israeli heart.
No road is without its bumps (autos and bikes, especially driven by others!) but you believe in one another and in yourselves and together may you always be happy, eternally.
With great fondness
Bill.
