What have I done now???
Seems I've might have made another mistake!!! I think we've moved onto a retirement village !!! hey I'm not that old ... pmsl!!!
I promised Kelsey that once we were 'sort of' moved in he could have a sleep over, so Friday the boys went to a disco at school and I picked Kelsey and Matthew up and we all spent the 1st night at the new house ... when we drove into the housing estate at 10pm every house was in darkness (and no for a change it had nothing to do with no power!!!) ... I had to tell the boys to be quiet when they got out the car ... OK the fact that there was thick fog about might have made it feel even quieter and a bit more 'eerie'!!! But hell all 80 houses on the estate in bed by 10pm !!!WTF...
My new bed !!! I think I would have been more comfortable sleeping on the stone floor ... (sorry Aunty Irena about complaining about your bed before )... please can I swap??? So what with the silence, the hard bed and the strangeness of the new house ... not much sleep !!! I couldn't even blame the boys they went into Kelsey's bedroom, switched on the TV and I never heard another word from them ... and all that time lost I should have been unpacking boxes or something! (hey maybe I could use the hard bed as my craft table LOL)
The bloody birds !!! did you know those weavers wake up at about 4.30am and the noise they make ... I mean I know they are lovely and I knew there were quite a few birds about on the estate when we moved in but I think everyone of them lives in my bloody garden !!!! AND I even went out and bought a bird feeder - what ever was I thinking !!! But jokes aside it is lovely sitting out on the 'stoep' (patio for some of you) having your breakfast and all the local birds pop in to say hi and ask for a crumb or 2 ... there is a small lake on the estate so we also get some geese and other 'water birds' visiting too... (Nan I'm gonna need your expertise to name the bird visitors we get lol)
Indi is not too happy about the move yet ... she's missing the company of June's dog Shadow, and as the house has tiled floors throughout I think shes struggling a bit with walking about ... we've put blankets around like stepping stones for her to walk on till she gets used to the floor ... mum and I have chatted about buying a BIG rug for the lounge area ... something that mum can end up using in her own place ... so another excuse to shop !!!
I'll have to get the camera out and take some photos of the new place ... and maybe do a bit of bird spotting too... pmsl
