The Weekend

{new house}

 

{fig tree!! :)}

 

On Sunday we signed a lease!! After months of waiting we have found (and secured) a place to live in our new town. We will be saying goodbye to the city next weekend. I am happy things are moving along now, but in the end it all happened so quickly my head is in a bit of a spin.

I am also nervous. I know we can always move back if we don't like it, so it doesn't have to be permanent, and I've wanted to move to the country for a long time. But, I've always been a city girl, and what will it be like living 3 hours away from our friends and family? and how will we go making new friends? and not having the services etc available in the city?

Like the Mr said, "we'll just have to suck it, and see".

Yarn Along

I finished this book last weekend in Geraldton. I loved it, not depressing at all, does make you a bit mad though that all of the international aid money isn't used more effectively the way Paul Polak describes. I think I may just have found where my future donation money will be going.

Crocheting a gift, it's not turning out as long as I want. I may have to rip it out and start again (for the fourth time) with different proportions. I'm using the wool I bought for this project, but didn't buy enough.

BTW the project from my last Yarn Along participation has been finished and worn and I've written out the pattern here.

edit:: oops, forgot to link so you can check out the other Yarn Alongers over at Small Things.

{Charlie}

It's the weekend again already and I'm only just posting last weekend... It was the Foundation Day long weekend, and we went to the beach between Geraldton and Northampton. We stayed in a shack about a 100m from the beach on farm land of family of family.

It wasn't really beach weather but it was a fun weekend. Charlie had a playmate in the form of a little girl born exactly one week later than himself who was the perfect match for him. I enjoyed couch time embroidering a sashiko panel, Jenga is now on our to-get list, and the Canon got a workout with 3 cute babies willing to smile at me, especially Charlie sitting on his Dad's shoulders. Man I love that face.
