We've reactivated the old blog

Keeping you abreast of events on our Europe trip (25 Jul - 31 Aug)

Triathlon - done! House cooling - done! Move - done!

So, I survived the triathlon. Better than that... we came 26th out of 90-odd, which I thought was quite good. Well, I thought it was good until I realised it meant WE QUALIFIED!!!

When I agreed to do the triathlon, it was on the understanding that we had a cat in hell's chance of qualifying (for another [harder] triathlon!!)

Pics of the triathlon (including the finish line "money shot") are on Flickr.

So after the triathlon it was time for a KFC family bucket. Only a fair reward for all that training and a WHOLE weekend without booze.

We also had a few friends over for a "house cooling" party. Like a house warming, only you trash the old place, not the new place!! A great time was had by all... again - pics at Flickr.

Monday was tough. Drinking on a school night is NEVER a good idea!!! Lucky it was a short day as we were picking the keys up to our new place!! So 10am start and 2pm finish... lovely.

Tue was moving day - YEUCHHH! We'd forgotten how hideous moving was!! Big thanks to Tim, though, for using one of his 'lady of leisure' days to assist. Pics at Flickr.

Wed was even more fun... over at the old place, scrubbing it ready for the inspection. HIDEOUS!! But we got all our bond back (and a gold star from the agency) so it was worth it!

Thu onwards has been hard work and settling in. I can't believe we've been in for over a week. Where has time gone?

Anyway - I need to sign off here, as we're on the way to the theatre, dahlings....

Hope you're all safe, well and happy.

G xXx (and I guess he'll send his best too!)
