| The Ship Has Landed.... |
Well after a somewhat eventful journey, we have arrived and are somewhat settled!
So much to tell.....
We arrived to blazing temperatures, fortunately the apartments we were staying in had a pool which was great until the second day when the sky opened and presented us with this:
 Oddly enough, the kids were back in the pool at 10 the next morning. Must have been freezing with all that hail! Some of the rocks were really big - almost ping pong ball size - twas a little bizarre. Since then of course it has been quite warm.
Moving right along, we found somewhere to live & have an excellent landlord - I knew rental prices were exorbitant - the worst bit is what you get for the excessive amount of money - which is not very much. We do have a large yard, which is very much appreciated by the four footed family members, however the possums are a bit of a pain with their eerie sounds and the challenges they offer to said small dogs at 2am - dogs are now in night detention :-)
Of less fun has been the removalist saga - henceforth they shall be known as the 'R' word - to be removed from my vocabulary with much less drama than the forced [sic] removal of the 'M' word. They managed to lose some very esoteric items (shelves from my pantry, pedestal from the pedestal fan etc) as well as a box of beloved hardcover books - this is in addition to some wanton damage of furniture I have managed to move many times previously without so much as a scratch - so much for using professionals!
I haven't started work yet - very much looking forward to it though, especially as my brain is beginning to atrophy! Now I'm back on the net I shall begin playing catch up on my blog reading, so apologies for any belated commenting I may partake of.
I hope you all had a merry christmas & a fantastic new year!Labels: musings, travel |
