I don't have any witty, insightful, or even remotely interesting comments to blog today. A bit presumptuous to think I ever do I suppose! I am always heartened to hear about how many of our friends check in to this site.

Today Ethan and I have been to Playgroup. Lots of new toys had been bought for the babies so it was very exciting for both of us. I have got to know a few of the mums who go there. One English girl called Kathryn is going to come to swimming lessons with us as of next week so I am really looking forward to that. Ethan is beginning to love to the water which is great. Plenty of it around at the moment. It has been pouring for the last couple of days and I mean really tropical bouncing off the ground rain. We were housebound yesterday with two restless cats who refused to go out in the rain but who would occasionally whine to be let out the front door onto the verandah and take in the view for a while before whining to get back in. Before that we did enjoy a week of gorgeous sunshine so i can't complain. it's pretty good weather for the middle of winter.

we get the keys to our new house on saturday. I have been trying to organise broadband and electricity and things like that. Ian is still working fairly long hours and apparently still hasn't a clue what he is doing but they haven't fired him yet, in fact they have even paid him!

Time for some lunch - love to you all x
