Honeymoon Over

So the Honeymoon is OVER.

*waaah!* (that was me, bawling. I wanted that honeymoon to keep on going for *ever*...)

So we went to Tasmania - started in Launceston, then down to Bicheno, further south to Hobart then back to Port Sorrell. Excellent nosh.

Seven wineries, three breweries, two chocolatiers, a raspberry farm, a cheese place and the best deep fried squid I have had in my life. I am fairly certain that I gained five kilos over the ten nights, even with the many long walks up and down beaches, up and down many many many stairs to various waterfalls and rivers.

What else?

We had the *geek out* moment when Ace had a minor meltdown in Hobart... the promised broadband internet at the hotel turned out to be 56kbps and he almost cried when his email inbox came up with 54 unread emails.

Perhaps it was a bit too cruel to take him to Bicheno for two whole nights... no internet, no mobile phone reception, nothing. He seemed to like it for the first six or seven hours, but the second night I had to ply him with wine to get him down off the railing around the verandah, holding his phone to the heavens in a futile attempt to get reception.

Right now he seems much, much happier. A happy geek is an easy geek to live with. He is on his computer playing Battlefield and chatting with his friends on TeamSpeak.

(plus he's letting me watch Glee and Castle while he plays, not even getting snarky about the volume). All I can say is thank god for our DVR and the fact that we didn't have any major issues with it while we were away!

So we have a few days until the new episodes of Glee air here in Australia, so I'm actively avoiding all the websites that have any spoilers on them.

Anyway. Wedding/Honeymoon is over! Wedding went off without a hitch, and the present haul was more than impressive... plus the photos are amazing!

So when I get a chance I will be updating a little more. Also, I think I want a new computer. But the Wedding/Honeymoon has cleaned us out. Which sucks. But who knows, perhaps the PowerBall draw next week will fall in our favour and my life will be Baileys over ice until the vodka is frozen....
