Things are speeding up, I can feel a narrowing tunnel around me and the end of it is in Perth. Early morning wake ups with hangovers from running dreams.

The first milestone, enjoying the prospect.
Sometime back in November 2006, the opportunity arose to move to Perth, Australia. That opportunity is very fast becoming a reality. The "ohmygod, what have I done", scrotum tightening unease lifted for a few moments last Saturday 7th April. I started to imagine what driving around Perth with my wife and kids would be like, exploring the various suburbs, parks, beaches and surrounds. At last I was excited by the prospect!
What is curious is having my mood altered by the idea of Perth, that is, what my pre-conceptions of what the new city will be like. In both cases, (the anxiety, and the excitement), my feelings about Perth are generated by something that is not real, and has yet to be experienced. I suppose that's very normal, and stating the obvious. But still, it was nice to recognise that I was beginning to look forward to the move.
In fact, it's what made me think of starting this web-log. I wanted to be able to record significant moments in the whole process (if only significant to me) so that others, primarily my family and friends, could share them.
