"Minafon" - week 19, Monday

We're in!!!!!!

We are now back in contact with the world, having the much-waited for text this morning to inform us that we are back on the internet. 

So what's happened since last Monday??? Not a lot really - we just moved house on Wednesday, which went well. The removalists just brought their trucks (yes, two!) down the side and unloaded both at the same time straight onto the back deck - they arrived at about 9.30 and were gone by 12, leaving us with mountains of gear and packing boxes which we are still sorting through of course although we have managed to retrieve most of the essentials of life.

We also managed to lay more turf (it turned up on the removal day so had to be done that evening) and over the weekend installed the letter box so the poor mailman did not have to go cross-country to deliver our mail. 

I'll do a few more blogs as we sort everything out and the place starts to look more civilized, but in summary, it is wonderful to be here - the house is everything we had planned for (and more) and everything seems to be exactly in the right place and working as planned. We have really noticed the quietness and absence of traffic and also the incredible bird life - we have been adopted already by the family of magpies who used to be around when we visited the site and the builders had around them quite frequently. They have already established 5.00pm tea time and when we return from our bike-ride as breakfast-time! The are kookaburras and countless other bird varieties and their sounds in the mornings is just beautiful.

A few pictures of the chaos for you today - some more progress over coming days before we sign off on the blog!
