To wrap things up....
The Mekong flooding got worse, but pulled up *just* shy of inundating Vientiane. Other places were not so lucky, and much land, crop and houses were lost, and people killed as well.
I finished up at PBM and slunk offsite. Had a pretty good round of farewells - wish them all the best.
Got to Australia, and it all got fairly mental with the wedding. In the end, it was brilliant, awesome, and we were very happy. So good to have all our friends and family together in one place like that.
We headed off to Un Zud and had a fantastic and all too short honeymoon. But we did get some skiing in, and some sightseeing, some adventuring and a few thrillseeking Queenstown things.
Arrived in Vietnam and we set about looking for a house, scoring a beut after a couple of days. I headed off to the minesite for my first roster. Three days after arriving on site, we were hit by Typhoon Hagupit, which buried the site. Due to that, and other financial and regulator issues, the decision was made not to go ahead with the operation.
We completed the orepass raisebore, got both portals into ore, and killed it. It was over - before it began. What a shame.
Due to worldwide economic upset, we don't know where we will end up after this. It may be a case of returning to Australia, but there are still possibilities overseas, and Europe is looking like it may be the go. We'll see.
For now, this blog is at an end. I can't see the point, what with Facebook presenting a better means of keeping people posted, and a far better way of distributing photographs.

The photo you see here was the decoration at the top of our wedding cake, painstakingly prepared by Nicoles sister. It is, I'm sure you'll agree, pretty damn awesome.
Cheers,

CLJ, Testing testing. Don't know if you will receive notification of this now that your blog has come to an end. One's end is another beginning (sometimes with a long break in between)and I have decided to start a blog so I can upload my scrapping and card making stuff. That way I can use it to link my entries into some challenges i am doing to keep me inspired.
Thought you might be interested in the name of it....quite a coincidence that the word superfluous came up at dinner the other night.
I don't really want anyone willy nilly to check out my crafty stuff so I don't want to put it on fb. I would rather share it with like minded people. Haven't told BRM about it yet so..... we'll say no more. Such a time waster though.
