Well, we are now knee-deep in everyday life. I could have said knee-deep in something else, perhaps washing, or something worse, as we're are getting over a nasty gastro or rotavirus. On the bright side, Hosea finally has a tooth to grizzle over.
I can finally add some photos taken by cellphone camera - I still haven't discovered the cable for downloading the camera.
This is the kitchen to our new place - obviously the day we moved in as the cupboards are empty. We are enjoying the place, although after a couple of bad nights with the bug, Hannah confessed that she "liked sleeping at our house in New Zealand better".
The next photos are taken from our second visit to Mt Lofty, on a fresh Winters day. As you can see, the weather was better than complete fog, but the haze has hidden Adelaide from view.
So I took another photo of a better view - Steph and Hannah up at Mt Lofty.
Hannah enjoyed visiting the pigs in Rundle Mall - one animal that doesn't mind being climbed over by preschoolers.
For equality I've attached a couple of pictures of Hosea to prove we did bring him over as well
That is a smile in the picture with the beans. And the other picture is him looking curious at the black thing Daddy was holding in his hand (the cellphone).
My birthday was a different experience. I enjoyed the day at home (well it was a Saturday), and then had a couple of workmates and families over for a BBQ dinner. I would have thought Aussies were better at BBQ etiquette - I was left cooking the meat outside by myself! The church friends who couldn't make it to the dinner came for lunch the next day. We suspect they left the gastro bug behind when they left.
I was given a new boardgame 'Agricola' as a present - somewhat confusing at first as instructions were only an adequate english translation of the German rules. But we finally sorted out the wood from the coal, and enjoyed our three hour long, one hour game.
Work is still challenging and rewarding.
We are starting to plan sights to see around Adelaide, SA, and Australia. Any suggestions?
