Nappies, mortgage and a house!

We are going to see if they'll lend us any money today...Fingers crossed! Looked at houses from Floreat to Padbury last night and the difference in size etc and price is quite big! So we'll see where we end up...if we can get a mortgage!!!

Need to stock up on nappies first!

Orla seems to be teething...waking up in the night in tears and what seems like agony...so she has been in with us a bit the last few nights/mornings. Hope it wears off as I hate to see her cry like that.

She is very happy all day long though, met Meg and Jonno last night and she fell for the boy of course, same with John, Marie and Daniel - John was the favourite! Had a lovely dinner including Sharon's caramel bananas with ice cream...yum!

It just started raining! I think the rest of the week is going to be fine.

Also spoke to Jo & Adrian yesterday, we look forward to seeing them and their lovely new house in Kalamunda soon!

Me again - and I have blogged already - most impressive!!!

We have arrived in Australia!!!

Well it has been a million years since I last wrote!
Not since Orla's birthday in fact!

It is now September, the 28th in fact and here in WA it is a bank holiday Monday...and the reason for it is the Queen's birthday! I wonder if she knows!

We arrived on Tuesday last week after 2 fantastic weeks in South Africa. I will have to blog about this trip properly soon! We also have lots of photos that we will down and upload as soon as we get hold of a charger for the battery...we ran out of camera in Stellenbosch...shame as it is such a beautiful part of the world!

Anyway, we are here now! Staying with Chris and Sharon Evans in Floreat. They have some room left over since their daughters Polly and Meg moved out. Thank you! We have spent our first few days taking it easy, looking around, catching up with friends and sorting a few bits out.

I will try to write here more often...I know I say this every time!

Orla is fine by the way, she has been a star with all this travelling and living out of a suitcase. Even the jetlag thing has gone well!

Take care!
Love & miss you all over there!
