The Lamest Blog Ever? Probably.

Right. So this blog thing ain’t going too well lately and quite frankly I’ve got the new episode of True Blood in my hot little hands so I really don’t want to be doing this right now. But it has been an awful long time so I’ll chuck a few of them dot things your way


• The new doctor who. Strangely attractive.

• What is with 99.9% of new builds in Adeliade?!?! They are monstrously ugly. Its a real bee in my bonnet right now. Who is to blame – Adeladians or the woeful architects? As norwood and the surrounding areas get subdivided into infinity it grosses me OUT to see what they are putting up. Seriously. They are dated before they even finish. Don’t do an imitation. Don’t do pillars. Don’t do townhouses. If you are going to do modern to a white cube. That’s it. Just a white cube. Nice.

• In the same vein, we are considering living in St Morris for a bit, tidying it up, maybe adding a new kitchen etc for sale later on - however the agent told us the other day not to bother. That it’s almost certain whoever buys the block will knock it all down, subdivide, build 2 and sell. Gross. Gross Gross. How gross are we with our over populating.?

• Eclipse out in 2 days. Just saying.

• Reading the True Blood books like they are cocaine and I’m stuck in a panic as books 5 to 9 are somewhere near south America, weeks away from arrival. Is it wrong this is the only thing I miss?

• All is going well but the headline still reads: WE DON’T KNOW. We don’t know anything. Our current address is Limbo and it all seems far too hard to make any concrete decisions. Damn you world and your current oyster-like state. We are toying with the St Morris thing above or moving somewhere a wee bit nicer. DON’T KNOW.



Thats’ about it for now. Sorry for the lameness. Trube Blood season 3 episode 3. If you watch it, you know know what im talking about...

apologies galore

you know how im always like 'wah wah wah, life is on top of me, i cant POSSIBLY blog, my children might die, blah blah blah' ? well, life is geniunely throwing punches at the moment. not only can i not shake jet lag, but two little boys cannot shake jetlag either and I have a HUGE  list of things from phone plans to house hunting to medicare to childcare to simply having a shower. ze blog is way down the list. way, way, way, way WAY down the list (well, apparently not that way down, cos here i be... oh procrastination, my old nemisis). So whilst this particular entry is not going going to inform you of any details other than we are here, alive and starting a new chapter with excitment and panic, I DID want to say a big thank you and HELLO to a few emails and texts I have had from some eager aussie beavers and yet not acknowledged. Seriously - im loathe to actually 'clear out' my inbox, god knows the additional work I have awaiting me in it's depths. But today I managed to charge a mobile phone and am now back on my old Aussie mobile (the one i have had for the past few trips home). I'm not saying im going to answer you (single parenting n a haze of jetlag?!?! mghehadnlhjbvkfdjnbvdfjlnvfd is all i have to say to that) but am receiving.  Hopefully turn a corner in the next day or two. Watch this space.
