Welcome to our new house

A well overdue post to introduce our new house to the world!

It's just over 3 weeks that we conned the crew into helping us load up the van, trailer, cars and anything else that moved with our furniture and belongings. We were not as prepared as we thought we would be, a case of denial and "oh God, not another move" I think was to blame. But everyone helped out and Sue was on a mission to make sure we did it all in one day, as Janice and I were looking to finish off the next day. As it happens that was a good idea as we still had a car load of clothes, etc to move over after we finished cleaning the Scarborough beach villa. So after three very busy days, we went back to work for a rest....

We are now in an area called Yokine. Not quite as close to the beach as we were, and would like. But reality has to take hold at some point I suppose :( But all that said it is a lovely area and looking forward to discovering more of it over the coming months.

The first weekend after was a good time to "attack" the garden as it has become quite overgrown and it was green collection time, so we got some tools and hacked away :)

I'll put a bunch of photos up on my picasa site in the next day or two as I don't have them here on this PC right now.

My excuse for not posting something earlier is that after a week I was then away in Melbourne on business for 3 days and then Sydney the whole next week. Sydney was an entertaining week with us doing an impromtu presentation at the Australian SharePoint 2010 Conference, rather than just sitting back and enjoying it. I wouldn't recommend preparing a speech "the night before" for something like that, but Clayton and I managed to make it look professional enough (I hope) and got some good interest, so all happy from the companies perspective.

Good to be home and I think Janice agrees, mostly :) Now it's time to plan the new kitchen!!
