Last night I died and went to heaven. Well perhaps that is exaggerating it a little. I had real italian gnocchi with a gorgonzola cream sauce. Needless to say this is one of my favorite dishes.

I think I can stay in Seattle knowing that there is a ready supply of gnocchi for cooking at home, and a restaurant (Assiago's) that can make it fresh.

Ok so I have added to my blog in ages. I think I had a good reason.

However life doesn't end I found out, and I was driving this morning and felt like parting with some of my new found "situation".

Firstly work sorta sucks a bit still, a lot up in the air there but progressing. Some things quickly and some things seem to progress somewhat painfully slow! So you know what? Well I am not going to talk about it here. Nicer things only.

So I live in Washington state now. Seattle/Tacoma region, Gig Harbor to be specific. I have a friend here who was nice enough to offer me a place to stay while I get back on my feet. He is one of the kindest nicest men I have ever meet.

What do I think of this area? Well it is very similar to Melbourne. The weather changes a lot, there is ocean and water nearby, restaurants of every type, size and price. I could live here for a while. I could end up living here forever.

I have not met a heap of people here yet, but there are one or four that I don't mind hanging out with. Fun is the aim and so far that's what I have been doing the past couple of weekends at least. I went to the FolkLife festival which was great, checked out the local beaches, and taken a couple of nice scenic drives. Some of the nature heavy areas remind me very much of the Dandenongs in Melbourne. The downtown Seattle area would be great to live in too, that reminds me somewhat of my place in Richmond. While one of my friends has a great little place in suburbia, and another has a place that is surrounded by 100 foot tall trees. Currently I think I like the suburbia one, closer to downtown, still close to nature, not so remote. No matter where I live in the longer term I do not have to make any rash decisions. I am able to stay where I am now and work out my head completely. For those of you who know me you will know there is a lot of second guessing involved in that.

Perhaps I should just go with the flow?
