And checking out the crowd. We packed a good +25 people into our apartment. It was a lot of fun. 

Holly and Jenea, Holies and Revolutionaries unite 

Looks good, hey?! 

But there is certainly always time for old friends as well, with Jacynta and Xander hard at work in the kitchen, preparing the feast to celebrate the arrival of our new friends. 

So we have a new War College session in - the Revolutionaries. It's a smaller group than last time and there is quite a mix of all sorts of people, so it should be a great year. I'm not going to list all the names in this picture because I am certain to get them wrong or miss some, and that would never do. So welcome to our new session, it's great to have you here! 

And my bed - note the little dog from Bath - though not with my sheets yet. But that's pretty much all my stuff. Add in a laptop, two towels and a toiletry bag with stuff in it, and that's about it. 

Looking out from my "walk in robe" these are the other beds in the room and the plastic set of drawers are mine. 

So I moved rooms today and discovered that I really have quite a compact collection of possessions. Here's pretty much the all of it... 

And another slightly artistic attempt... 

And it has this very cute symbol. We shall see long that lasts without being covered up! 

This bike is really cute. 

So after a year of desire Stephen has purchased himself his first self-purchased vehicle. It is an electric bike and is considered a bicycle here. That means no licence, no insurance and you can go wherever a bike can go. Also it costs somewhere around 5c to charge it for 50km. Max speed is 60km/hr but you're usually hitting around 40. Nice way to get around the city.
