Nothing like moving....

Hi again! There's nothing like moving to keep you really busy. We're in a new place now, much closer to stores, a post office, and our friends here. It's got a great sized back yard for the dogs and lots of lovely plants -a purple bougainvillea, several shades of hibiscus, a white rose bush, and several other bright flowering but as yet unidentified plants. As for the rest of the house, it's a disaster of boxes still. I've got a bag of cleaning supplies and hopefully will everything here scrubbed down and put away this week.

Closets aren't standard in Australia and this rental property didn't come with any, but luckily in this part of the city they are having yet another -yes you guessed it- council cleanup. Today V and I were lucky enough to find not 1, but 2 nice wardrobes that were as yet untouched by all the rain we've been having. It rains every day here lately; good for the plants, bad for furniture sitting on curbs.

We've got internet hooked up here for just one computer so far, so I have to pry V off his pc for some online time, but hopefully that will be remedied soon. I've got lots to do around the house anyhow to settle in finally. I'll post some pictures once it stops raining and I can take some of the pretty flowers in my backyard. At least they are getting watered with all the rain and are very green.

We're glad to finally be in our own little place and start establishing a rental record in this country so the next time renting will be a little bit easier. Hope everyone is enjoying spring in the states. We're starting to pull out jackets here for a bit of chilly wind as fall sets in. Miss you all. Cheers!
