House!

So we have moved into our house.  It is wonderful. This is our view.  A 30minute walk to work for Ed, and 40mins for me along the sea front.   Earlier this week, we sat outside on our front door step with the view shown below, night lights glittering across the bay.  Most idyllic.  

We've begun painting as some of the decor was horribly 1990's.  The hallway is complete and it looks so good!  The frustrating element is that our shipping container, while still floating (thank god!), will be delayed due to the cyclones that have been hitting Australia and the Pacific Islands.  It was due to arrive on 23rd Feb but now will arrive mid March.  In the meantime we'll rattle around our enormous furniture-less house! 

     

 

We had a fun week and saw Sufjan Stevens at the Opera House on Tuesday which was brilliant, although more weird space age electro than the folk we had expected.  

Earlier today we discovered someone rather good if you're feeling lethargic and cannot face the hill or steps up to our house - there is a big hotel on the seafront, a few minutes down from us, with a bar on the 7th level.... and it has an exit onto the street behind the hotel bar which is conveniently close to our house! We'll have to befriend them!
