Genesis

There must be a beginning - and there must be an end. This is the order of things.

Let me start at the start, skip ten billion years, and take you to the present day...

Melbourne CBD, morning. 13 degrees and overcast. Level 10, recently renovated residential block annexed to the soaring green-topped IOOF Building. Apartment 1007 – our home for the past 18 months. Sitting at the dining room table, facing north.

I have been "released from my retainer". Current position: man of leisure (and mystery).

Weisie has charged me with the responsibility of undertaking some important administrative tasks necessary for our Big Trip. She is half way through her last day of work, and thinks I am conscientiously completing the list of tasks she has left behind for me. Silly of her really.

[Weisie, if you are reading this, the previous paragraph was inserted to give our opening Blog some pizzazz, or as they would say in Sydney, "zhuz"].

Welcome to Weisie's World. Enjoy the trip.
