Still Here
Well, John has posted a few blogs, so thought I would let everyone know that I'm still alive.
We had a nice first Christmas in Perth. It was a nice clear sunny day, we went for a 4 km walk along the beach/shoreline. (We were thinking about going a few days later, and would you know, that was the day there was a shark sighting and the beach was shut for a while)....
All the time in UK John never really fancied a traditional turkey dinner...would you know it...we're here and he wanted one, shame the turkey we had was ...for a lack of a better word, squelchie....so we ended up throwing it out and had a vegetarian meal.
As John says, the house is now in construction phase....they estimate the concrete slab will be down around the 7th Jan.
Was about to water the garden, as it's looking a bit parch...but remembered at the last minute, they have "water wise" here and there is a roster system for watering your lawn. The roster is based on the area you live in and the last digit of your house number....so it's not as though you can copy your neighbour...
Well, that's all for now...
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Coming home
I've finally booked my visit home, fly out of Perth on March 12 for a couple of weeks. Now if I can get the upgrade to Premium Economy for the Singapore - Heathrow leg :)
Farmer John
In a moment of madness I thought I'd try and grow some chilli's and passion fruit. Hopefully future pictures will be more impressive!
The House has been started
Our plot re-pegged in anticipation for the ground works to start. Concrete slab should be layed first week in January.

What was that spider in the bath?
I saw this spider in the bath and thought nothing more of it but Sue - correction both of us thinks it might have been a redback!!
Sorry to the spider but we didn't take any chances and it's been well and truely sprayed...
Hopefully we'll update this blog a bit more often now!
