We're in. Happy but somewhat buggered. Have been in Can't Stop Won't Stop mode for the past two days: always conducive to domestic harmony when combined with acute knackeredness. Fortunately the nice man from Telstra brought us broadband today and J has just unearthed the wireless router, bringing my unpacking frenzy to a screeching halt. Here are some beautiful things:
- Early drizzle on moving day turns into brilliant sunshine by midmorning.
- That evening, Jack's mother arrives with dinner, feeds us all and then bathes the children and puts them to bed.
- Today my friend and bandmate Rose, God love her, took Maggie out and entertained her for the entire day so that I could unpack.
- Just outside the front door is a large, flourishing rosemary bush: as you brush past on the way to the door, the scent rises off it.
- Nestling under it, green and yellow, is a small clump of lemon thyme.
- The previous owner was very keen on roses. The house is surrounded by them, and they're all blooming. One is a pale mauve, almost blue colour.
- Cupboards. Lots and lots of cupboards.
- Built-in bookshelves. Joy!

Woohoo! Welcome to your new home! Hope all continues to go smoothly and you get a chance to stop soon.
All the best.
Thanks Keith!
