Hard work and hard ground!!

Well since our last post we have packed up all the furniture and belongings that Suzanne brought over here from UK, hired a truck and taken it to her new rented villa, unpacked and found homes for it all, then re-sorted Pete and Nicky's house, moving Lois into Suzanne's old room and Isaac into Lois' old room and moving settees and desks around to fill in all the spaces - needless to say both places look great now! Suz has a lounge/diner, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, toilet and laundry room, car port and under-cover patio area. Unfortunately there are a lot of trees round it so hence quite a few mosquitos! But its nice for us to have our own bedroom and chest of drawers at last.

Whilst we were moving, Pete and the children were at the Pacific Rim Churches "Newday" north of Sydney. They all had a great time but Josh came back with his arm in a sling having fallen whilst playing soccer! Unfortunately his arm had not stood up to the hard ground and Nicky and Josh spent the first day and night back at the hospital where he had to have an operation to mend the top of his radius bone which had been knocked off!! Painful!

We have spent a few days investigating the new area we live in (Shelley on the border with Riverton) and today with Suz took a trip up the Swan Valley which is a big wine growing area. We sampled lots of wines, beers, cheeses and chocolate and brought a chosen few back home for Australia Day celebrations on Wednesday. We really enjoyed ourselves! Glad to report weather much cooler at present - 26 degrees today!!
