  • Settling In.

    Settling In.

    Can you believe it? It’s been one week since I survived the house move.  I’m slowly getting into the groove of the new ‘hood.  Bin collection days, locating the local branch of my bank and finding the closest thing the main drag has to a $2 shop (the back few racks of the old school…

  • Moved In and Fridgeless.

    Moved In and Fridgeless.

    Well. We survived to tell the tale, Toddler SSG and I.  It was only a half hour’s drive across the city but for all intents and purposes, we might as well have moved interstate or overseas.  I only ended up having to take one day off work but it’s felt like I’ve been away for…
