I'm all moved in here. Didn't take long! Went grocery shopping today - it's a bit far, but I'm hoping that there'll be a supermarket on the bus route between here and work. I'll find out on Monday.
It's Saturday here, and it's been great to have a bit of a lazy day. And it'll be an early night as I've got to leave at around 7am tomorrow for diving at Rottnest Island. I'm super excited to finally get diving. And the other aquarium staff said they sometimes go diving after work so if I can find a place to rent gear, that would be so fun!
My first day/trial day at the job went really well. A nice, controlled school tour for 55 or so 5-6 year olds. Right! Chaos, but the good kind where everyone's having fun. We talk about sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, rock lobsters, and Port Jackson sharks. The kids get to touch everything, even the sharks! We take the babies out, and they actually really like getting their heads scratched! The rock lobsters are a bit intimidating, too, but not as bad as a dungeness crab because the lobsters have no pinchers. I'll try to take some photos of work this week.
And that's about all from me.
