**connecting**

We're sitting in Melbourne airport - inside, through the security screening. In fact, we haven't actually ventured forth at all - we're newly arrived and about to depart again without so much as seeing Melbourne in sunlight!

Another half hour to wait and, you guessed it, no knitting to keep me occupied - despite the fabulous wedding shawl way behind schedule, or the little baby cardi so close to finished.. no no, all must wait, tucked away in the checked luggage, probably already in the belly of the next plane!

And where are we headed? TASMANIA!!
