I'm on Hurrah!

Marty,
You don't have to put me on. Annie and Steve are here after their night at "Spicks and Specks" and they directed me on. I'll do another one tomorrow while they are here to practise.

We have been busy

Hi All
I have hrdly had the chance to look at the blog the last couple of weeks as we are madly packing up the house and getting ready to move. We are putting all our household effects into a storage shed until we buy a house. I must admit to being a bit nervous as it seems some of our banks are caught up in this sub prime crisis in the states and interest rates could go crazy. We have also bought a shipping container for all of the other gear that the department won't move for us.
We have also found it is going to be difficult to get rental accommodation in Darwin so it is an interesting and somewhat stressful time.
I have emailed zak with another invitation to join the blog and i will ring the old man to get him back on track soon. i will add some darwin photos as we move up.
Our intended departure date is next wednesday the 16th taking two to three days to drive up.

Cheers
Marty

Wales calling

Hi All again. Soooooo sorry Clare K, I always miss your birthday. Hope you had a fabulous day. A teenager! Doesn't that make the olds feel old. I also saw the house on the net Mart. Pity they didn't show the lounge room, but I would buy it! Had my first shift back at work yesterday (Friday evening). Wasn't too bad returning after 8 weeks off. It made it easier that it was only a 5 1/2 hour shift. Jules is on the case now to find a few days work also. Watch this space. Hope you are all enjoying the warm weather. Think of us here in the cold (& dark). Love to all. xxxxx

Hi everybody. Just looked at pictures of your house on internet Marty. Looks great. The garden looks wonderful. Not much happening here. My baby is a teenager today. Heard it's a bit cold in Wales Moo. The cricket's been pretty enteraining. hope you are enjoying it Dad. I agree with Moo we need to get all of us on the blog this year. Anyway as I am a little (or maybe a lot) hungover- hit the red wine a bit last night after a few vodka and orange juices so I will sign off now and go insearch of a take away that's open for some greasies.

Back in Wales

Hi All
Greetings once again from a not so sunny South Wales. Arrived back pretty much on time, about 11pm local time. Have now had a night's sleep, after a beer with my husband to celebrate my return. The mail has been sorted, I have spoken to the olds and now have to tackle the unpacking. Not raining so it's not all bad. New Year's Day weather is looking good so we will take a walk, probably on Gower. Up to the Gwyn tonight to catch up with everyone and see in the New Year. Happy New Year to you all. Let's get the whole family on to the blog in the New Year! Julian sends his greetings also. He's very pleased to have me home. He says the house is too quiet without my "bollockings". Love and hugs, Moo xxxxxx

Happy New Year everybody. Love Annie,Steve, Lucy and Clare.

Hi Everybody, sorry it's taken me so long to say hi. I am a techno wally and couldn't get in so had to reset my password. You all have hard by now about our excitement on christmas night when we got home. Still can't believe the house didn't burn down. but we will get a new stove, new floor new pots (my favourite frypan is a little messy!) and a new paint job on the ceiling, and proboably the carpets cleaned. There are also marks on a lot of our knives, pots and utensils if these can't get claeaned will probably be replaced as well. Just have to learn to cook wothout and stove and hotplates for a few weeks. Luckily we have bought a new barbeque so will be doing alot of al fresco cooking. Sayonara Moo have a safe trip back. been great to see you and catch up. Love Annie
