Last Saturday (31st May) my wife Merrilyn and I went on a Matilda cruise around Sydney Harbour. Very nice in the (very) late autumn sunshine! We met Paul on the boat who is a Canadian but now lives in KL Malaysia. He was out here checking the Shell refinery before it re-opens after a maintenance shutdown, and decided to stay on for another 12 hours instead of rushing back home. I think he had an enjoyable cruise and I hope the rest of his day was as good.
We left the boat at Darling Harbour, had lunch and went on to NIDA (The National Institute for Dramatic Art) where our daughter Beth is studying Costume Making. It's great to see her there in such a great learning environment. I hope she makes it through the 3 years.
I've sent off an email to the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) co-ordinator, who also happens to be my German lecturer, about a scholarship to go to Germany next year to do a language course that runs 4-6 weeks. The first hurdle is, is there an age limit? The cover letter says there is (32) but the website doesn't mention it. If that's ok and other details fall into place, there's a choice of venues: Berlin, Leipzig, Essen and Freiburg. A very difficult decision!
