I changed my address details on ebay this morning, so that I could buy and ship a couple of adapter plugs (ah... small things) and got a message from ebay: "Congratulations on your move to the UK!" Got all jumpity, skippity excited *happy grins* I shed a few tears when I said goodbye to the kidlets this week. Little Zara has started walking. Her mom was so excited to show me. When she has her walking harness on, she holds the 'leash' out in front of her (alone) and walks. She won't walk without it. She just needs the feeling of the harness around her chest to feel secure enough to take those steps. I think she's much like many of us... we need to *feel* as though we're being helped/supported to progress, even if the help or support is an illusion. I was so happy for them though. This child is special and any progress is a miracle. When I arrive, she demands her 'lesson'. Too cute.
Right now, I have two cases packed and sooo much more to organise. The weather has been agonisingly hot with temps sitting around 35ºC. Today, the sky pulled over. 3pm was dark outside with a deep purple sky. Apparently we're heading into a wet week. I'm so glad I'm not teaching!
*yawns* Think a cup of coffee and some biscuits are a good idea....
So happy for you with your move....Is that a picture of where you'll be ? ? beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBert, it's one of the views. That hedge in the foreground runs down the side of the cottage... if I have my perspectives correct here.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that picture just say everything! Beautiful!! I would go for the redbull and adrennalin injected chocs if I were you ;) I just had Phishfood and thought of you! Heading home now but look forward to catching up in a couple more days! :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, I'm still in shock! How did I miss this?
ReplyDeleteBut how wonderful!!
(and we are suddenly so much closer, lol)
I missed something too...when is the move? Did you move?
ReplyDeleteKatey, those hills take me straight back home. It's just 'normal' enough for me. Hope to have some phishfood soon, but it appears there isn't a chippie near to the station. I don't want a fancy place... just a regular chippie. We just had our last Sunday dinner in Brazil!!!
ReplyDeleteRiete, no idea how you missed it lol Didn't you hear me yelling across the rooftops? Yes, we're closer. Perhaps a visit isn't that unrealistic now :)
Kat, no idea how you missed it - see my comment to Riete lol We're flying next Sunday afternoon.

<--- SO happy for you!! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteI am just so delighted for you. It won't be long now and you'll be on your way !
ReplyDeleteGet used to that, you'll be getting a lot more of it where you're going!!! LOL. We've actually had a bit of an 'Indian Summer' here the last few days with higher temps than normal for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteOkay... Let's see if this works for you the same way it worked for me.....:
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you Monday!
....
.....
......
WELL?! Did it?! I mean I knew it was close already, but it's friggin MONDAY!!! And Monday sounds so much closer than "6 days"! I'm in like, a pre-holiday funk. Work is dragging by. I can't concentrate. I'm glad I don't have a desk job because otherwise it'd just be the PITS! Luckily my job has me on my feet and running around... Can you imagine this much excitement with a *desk job*?! I'd be dying.
*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
VERY exciting and also fun to see Zara walking before you go! Weather going to be a tad different soon :-)
ReplyDeleteso exciting , you going to miss those kiddies though. Can just feel your happiness bubbling over on the page. Wish wish wish you could stop over in Joburg ???
ReplyDeleteNice to see how much you are looking forward to this! But there is always something to miss..
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how close you areeee! I hope the rest runs smoothly ;)
ReplyDeleteMONDAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think we need a mega Multiply celebration blog on Monday!!!! So we can all join in the excitement tooooo!!
Amalie, there might always be something to miss, but the things we're reunited with when we get here FAR outweigh the things we might eventually miss, trust me - I've been through it already =D
ReplyDeleteKatie, totally agree!!!
ReplyDeleteKatey... TOTALLY agree!! Who's gonna host it?
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm timing is an issue since no one else is bothering *koff!!* to move to the UK! Maybe posts on our own pages and definitely a pic of your Mom and Dad squeezing the bejeezuz out of you!! :P Like at the beginning of the day because they will be seriously frazzled by the time you get there! .... I don't think your Mom realizes this is going to be like a Kippy and Jermy's wedding day where we need an ongoing blogroll .......
ReplyDeleteHow sad am I? I was looking for the "like" button on your post! LOL!
ReplyDeletelol I do that SO many times and get irritated when I can't!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Oh dear....
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely try and get the photo! We'll see what we can do... Omg this is gonna be AWESOMEEEE XD
The scenery in your picture is so beautiful. What a majestic , peaceful place. Lot's of work involved moving and emotions in letting go of one thing to embrace the next . It appears the move is a very positive one though! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm home and you're going home, are you there yet?
ReplyDeleteTint is there and very happy. She isn't online yet but hoping to get it organized soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so fantastic to hear (katey). many thanks for letting us know.
