That'll be the rain on (II)

Yes, yes, yes, we are alive. Things like modems don't happen quickly around here...

I will over the next few days attempt to bring you all up to speed, starting with Vancouver and then the last two weeks in Geelong, but so as no one can say they don't know what's happening......


We have a house

We have furniture

We have a car

We have a school for James

We are working on nursery for Will and Ella

We have home phones, mobile phones and broadband

We have doctors, dentists and child health specialists

We are single handedly supporting the Geelong economy with our purchases

We have ended the region's drought in a trice - it's been tipping down for days...


Most of you probably weren't that worried, but there are grandparents reading this. So let me just reiterate: WE ARE ALL FINE!!!


But we are missing all our good friends. Nick and I are getting a bit sick of chatting to no-one except each other... so those of you on Skype out there, please call us now (nick448) we are online again. Before I start sounding like an Aussie...

Miss you all terribly - Kim too - but so happy to hear that you are all coping, in a fashion! Been there, so know what it is like to start from scratch. Nick did it with me, so he had an idea, but not with 4 young kids. All the best, and have fun! Lots of love, and hugs to you two and all my Grand Rug Rats!! x Jenny

hi guys nice to see you've arrived downunder, hope the winter weather down there in Geelong wasn't too much of a shock to the system. We're having a bit of a shock to ours up here in QLD with the cold!
Can't believe you've got so much organised so quickly!
GIve us a bell now that in the same time zone. LOL
Richard, Kaliki, Robbie and Asta

hi Vic - I think i've sussed how to leave a comment, how very sad, but tackling anything that takes more than 5 minutes on line and i have to abandon ship cos someone else in the family wants to use the computer. there's stiff competition here you know.

Very happy to hear and see you all safely arrived in Oz, with house and kids and purchases et al. I presume Phoebe is still around too although she's probably blissfully unaware of all the adventure going on around her in her buggy... she doesn't feature so much in the pixs!

Now i'm going to bookmark your blog, wow! All our love from a sunny Dunny, Naomi xx
