Short week

It's a short week this week, with a National holiday on Thursday - Australia Day! For some people this means celebrating the fact that Australia became a British colony x years ago, some don't celebrate this at all, they mourn the fact that the British took over, for others it means celebrating their new Australian citizenship (a lot of the citizenship ceremonies are being held on Australia Day), others go to the park for a picnic and a bbq, lots of people go and watch the cricket (there is a 5-day test match between India and Australia here in Adelaide and yes, there are people who will be there for 5 days).

We know what we will be doing! We'll get the key of our new rental place early in the morning, complete some paperwork, inspect the property and decide which furniture items will go where. Then we'll go out for breakfast or brunch and celebrate my birthday!! And do some outdoor furniture shopping, and go to the beach for a swim - as we're currently experiencing a week of 33-37 degrees.

On Friday then the movers will deliver our shipment, which has been cleared by customs and quarantine, so we'll be unpacking boxes once again. But we're getting very good at it; De Boer & Bos, for all your furniture removals.

Our new rental place. Left window is the 2nd lounge, and right you'll see the double garage. Blue skies are included in the rent.

Kitchen. We're not sure our fridge will fit in the designated space there - our's is quite high.

Formal lounge (or home theatre, as it says on the floorplan). The furniture you see is not ours, the home was a display home and is now empty.

Dining and Family. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are all on the left hand side.

Covered deck - that's where the outdoor furniture shopping is for. And small garden.
