Despite all it's differences Australia has charmed us and for the first time I can admit I would be sad if we had to leave tomorrow. No, I do not have BFF's yet or a steady babysitter- they will come. However, three months into this adventure we have had more time together as a family than in the past three years combined. The kids are happy and active, rooting for Footy and grubbing on lamb. The weather is warming and the wildflowers are out, hills covered with lupins and wild geraniums- butterflies working en masse. The whales are making their spring migration north and one was spotted off Cottesloe beach, our beach, a few weeks ago. Whales?
Awesome.
Awesome.
So jealous! The mosquitoes are gigantic and very aggressive. It is hotter than (my son would say) two rats "doing it" in a wool sock.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I've heard that "rooting" means something different in Australia(see above rats). I may be wrong, but don't want you to be embarrassed if that is the case.
We've been watching the Cup here at our house. I have mixed emotions about it. It has gotten so high tech (no canvas sails, for example). Of course, we pull for Oracle, but, sadly, I think it will have to leave its heart in San Francisco, not the America's Cup.
So happy you have been able to have more time together as a family, especially while you have little ones.
Must investigate Flat White. Take care. I always look forward to reading your posts.
