Sunshine!
Woke up this morning to what sounded like fifty kookaburras having a comedy show in the yard. Starting to associate the sound with nice weather now – right enough, when I dragged myself out it’s glorious sunshine with the sky a deep cobalt blue as far as the eye can see.
Got about a dozen job applications in just now so just playing a bit of a waiting game. We’re going to pick up the car today, I think, which will get us a bit more mobile. Over here you need a car to do anything. We’re staying in a place about 4km from Branxton (where we’re looking to live) which isn’t far, but you can’t walk it – there’s little in the way of shade and the humidity makes walking long distances quite difficult.
The kids have settled – much less bouncy than they were. They’re excited about getting to school on Monday, and by all accounts the school are just as excited about it. The school is lovely – it’s set in woodland with a little cluster of individual wooden classrooms around a shaded quadrangle. In the summer they hold assemblies in the quadrangle and in winter they have a covered assembly hall with only three walls. The boys will be wearing grey shorts and shirt and Dotty gets a little green-checked pinafore 🙂

Any chance of photos? The kookaburras and roos sound ace. I was quite pleased because I had four starlings in my garden this morning. Nowadays theres nowt but magpies and wood pigeons.
