Admin Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 It's about time but I am working again but what makes it a big YAY is that it is in Melbourne...no more travelling back and forth interstate for the time being so more time with the family, not to mention the money and can afford to buy steak instead of pasta each night. 16 2
old man emu Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 never hesitate to gnocchi back the chance of a good steak! 1

Great news! You left the ACT just in time. Despite the supposed global warming, the ACT and surrounds have experienced their coldest winter in about 50 years. Frequently the overnight temperatures have been down to minus 8 degrees Celsius. Brrrr.
IBob Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Excellent! And yep, as the years go by, I'm liking to be home more too............long may it last!
Methusala Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Great news! You left the ACT just in time. Despite the supposed global warming, the ACT and surrounds have experienced their coldest winter in about 50 years. Frequently the overnight temperatures have been down to minus 8 degrees Celsius. Brrrr. Mr Eighty Knots, I believe scientists (99% can't be wrong). Perhaps you believe that aircraft defy gravity and the reason is magic? We are recording historically unprecedented temps and the global ice caps and glaciers are melting (see Polar bears). Just a friendly heads-up. Don (in Canberra) 2 2
facthunter Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 It's been minus 12 often in the 50's (Canberra) Nev 1 1
bexrbetter Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 It's been minus 12 often in the 50's (Canberra) Nev I lived there for 2 years, it was always sub zero through both Winters, but I had to leave due to the wind, it played havoc on my ears. Wasn't a hard decision to move to Brissy next! Was up in the Brindabellas one night and it was minus 8 with a wind chill factor of minus 15 = minus 23.
facthunter Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Hot in summer, cold in winter and full of public servants who dress well. Waste of a reasonably good paddock and an unnecessary expense. On the right day it can look alright. Of the beaten track. ABC .Anywhere But Canberra. Nev 2 1 1
IBob Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Right. So the general consensus is that Admin can confidently celebrate his Melbourne work for a whole range of reasons?
Methusala Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Lived in Canberra for 56 years. No better city I know of to live. Love visiting Melbourne. 1 2 1

bexrbetter Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Yep, great news for you Ian, I'm sure your Daughter will love you having you home more - as well as not wanting you at the same time! Teenagers .... !
Deskpilot Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Good news indeed, care to share what you're doing Ian?
eightyknots Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 I still stand by what I wrote in post No 3: Great news! Hopefully you won't have to move away from Melbourne again for some time, Ian! I also trust your work is fulfilling and enriching.
