This time last month...

On the 17th of November, Matt and I narrowly escaped the storm damage in Brisbane (we had NO idea until we got to Timor it was so bad), and came to Dili!

On the 17th of October, I had just had my hair cut shorter, and I was frantically packing / organising social events / panicking about my assignment.

On the 17th of September, Matt and I had just got back from an awesome (and packed) week in Bris Vegas at Bal on the River.

On the 17th of August, Matt and i had just returned from our Australian Volunteers International briefing in Melbourne.

Spending Christmas in Dili has meant we can be part of the expat choir, which is super fun and not particularly professional! We were meant to go carolling tonight, but a slight torrential downpour necessitated a change of plans, so we sang carols at One More Bar instead.

You'll have to ask Matt about the late evening trip to the karaoke bar - I went home to bed like a good girl so I could WORK in the morning. :D
