Well our journey is finally behind us in one way...and a new one is opening up for us ahead. 

We arrived back home last week and I must say it is lovely to be back.  We haven't had the chance to catch up with anyone outside of the family yet.  We have been inundated with things on the home front to attend to.  Life simply goes on, doesn't it?

Our laundry drain backed up during our absence requiring a visit from the drain doctor aka the plumber! LOL!  So that now saves me from having to cart the grey water from the large bin that was appropriately placed beneath the washing machine hoised that was pointed out of the window!

Our carpets are well and truly overdue for replacement so we were off to the flooring company to see what was available.  Hopefully Stage 1 of the flooring will be laid by the end of the month.  I'm looking forwards to that.  I'm not really looking forwards to lifting up the carpet...but doing that part will save us a few hundred dollars.

On the way home I had a lovely visit with my oldest daughter and two grandchildren in Melbourne.  We had a splendid time over the first two days we were back in the country.   (I don't have my laptop up and running here yet..so you'll have to wait for pics!)

Obviously I have had a great deal of fun with my two grandchildren here in SA and seeing my daughters again.  It's been wonderful for all of us. 

We actually were offered another job outside of SA that we decided to decline.  The timing was way off and I have some things that are coming up for me also.  The Australian National Home Education conference in a couple of weeks here and also University starts for me next month.  I'm looking forwards to both of these events. 

Well take care all of you out there.
