Melbourne, Victoria
Perhaps you've heard -- the world is experiencing some economic "bumps".. 
The majority of this period has been spent in a state of unemployment. A state I am unaccustomed to and unsuited for. Jenny was the unfortunate person who got to deal with me during this period. Not a role to be jealous of.. Luckily we are both employed now. Jenny is working for Melbourne University as a receptionist and I am working for some agency as a passenger counter (public transit passengers). 
Despite being unemployed, their have been some highlights:
 - a weekend in Fish Creek that was sponsored by our favourite Fish Creekian (thanks Corinna!)
 - several experiments that delved into the mysteries of cake, brownies and other assorted confectioneries (varying success..)
 - a relaxing hike up the 1000 stairs of the Dandenong range
 - a victory by team Canadia at the local quiz night
 - a successful home-brew version of a chicken parmesian (a.k.a. "parma")
 - 
I'll let Jenny expand on those topics -- I'm currently a little busy basking in my own state of employment.
