Family life down under, Gardening and Fish

This year I’ve been travelling a lot for work.  In fact right now I am sat in a hotel room outside of Lisbon.  I think that this is the 10th weekend that I have spent away from home so far this year.  I have flown between Australia and Europe seven times, by the time I get home it will be eight.  As each trip has taken around 30 hours that means that I have spent in excess of 210 hours on long-haul flights this year alone.  Travelling for work is not glamorous.  Jetlag sucks.  I really really really want to go home.
