One of those rare sunshine moments!

Photo taken the first week we were here when Indie was first introduced to the 'cheeky neighbours'. At this point she was still unsure but now she gets all the exercise she needs by running up and down the garden trying to catch them...

Well not much else has changed since my last post, finally got K settled in a school but not sure if it's the right one for him.
Placed him in the local primary school but they don't have the 'resources' that some of the other schools have so I am still hoping we can get him placed in one of the 'better suited' schools. It's been a long drawn out process but hopefully we'll get there in the end. He is starting to make some new friends but I have to say the mum's are a bit 'odd'. It feels strange to be going thru all the 'new kid on the block' motions again.

Those of you who know me will know how I like to be involved in all sorts(busy body), not so sure that I'll be doing that much 'volunteering' here though...Seems no matter where in the world you are you are just expected to know what is going on... Communication is lacking everywhere.

K starts school at 7.30am and finishes at 1.45pm but they have extra curriculum activities every day until 3pm and your child is expected to participate in a minimum of 2 activities per week. Each term the activities change so the kids have a lot of choices. At the moment he's sticking to Swimming on Monday and Thursday and Chess Club on a Wednesday. They finish school on a Friday at 12.30!!! It's all very confusing for me!!!

Still having 'fun' trying to get my car 'legalised' seems now my paperwork has to be 'Interpol' approved then I can go down to the licensing office (again - 9th time) and I can apply for a vehicle registration. O.I.A (new quote: Only in Africa)

I have been looking at a few premises this last week, the prices for renting are over the top... Maybe gonna need to re-think some strategies. It is strange how they work things out here basics like food, clothes, petrol etc. are relatively cheap and then everything else is OTT expensive so there's no middle ground. Other options available, instead of a shop in a shopping mall (and a lot of people are doing it) is to get a house and convert it into a business premises, only problem with that is you don't get passing trade as you would in a Mall. Decisions, decisions, oh well it gives me something else to moan about doesn't it!

Still have not picked up anything to craft... Help! Christmas is just around the corner and I should be doing my cards but when I packed everything up I was a bit 'stupid' and didn't label things properly so I don't know which box is which and I only have 200 odd to sift thru... Well it's gonna be just like Christmas when I do get round to that... Don't even have a peel off to play with !!!!

Oh! if any of my regular viewers are feeling charitable and want to help out a 'desperate craft-a-holic' in Africa and you don't know what to do with your old craft magazines !!! If you want my address 'derop' me an e-mail... HINT! HINT!

So till the next edition
