I think it is now safe enough to announce this...

We have bought a new house. We should get the keys on the 31st July.

The online schedule can be found here (while the detailos are still up.) and some photos taken by my Father in law are here

A Long Way Behind

I just called the company who is moving our stuff over here. It seems that it's all still in the UK. I was hoping it would be further along than it is. So, it looks like our stuff is still weeks away.

I suppose the best we can hope for is that when it does start to move, then it travels to us quickly.

It's Hot!

The thermometer out on the deck says it is 103 degrees Fahrenheit - which is about 30 - 40 Celsius. That's Hot! In fact, I would say that it is unpleasantly so.

You may think this is a weird thing to blog about, but this is the first pair of trainers / sneakers/ tennis shoes/ whatever I have owned since high school. I don't remember ever owning white ones - although I'm sure my mum will put me right on that. I haven't owned white athletic socks since high school either.

So, now you know why I blogged this. It's quite a big step for me; but when in Rome and all that....
