Steady away

We're enjoying a quiet period at the moment. Niall is still away on the Sunshine Coast hoping to pick up enough farm work to qualify for a second year visa so that he can stay on a little longer. As for us, we're enjoying the fantastic weather, mid twenties and sunny most days - perfect. We're settling in to a daily routine in our new home - so just to shake things up we've bought roller blades. I could already skate, all be it a little wobbly. No such luck for Ros, she's learning from scratch and is already sporting a large bruise on a certain part of her anatomy. She's persevering - so we'll soon be powering along the water front here with the best of them. 

It's late autumn down under but a combination of unseasonably warm weather, a lack of deciduous trees (and therefore autumn colours) and a preponderance of flowering plants means it simply doesn't feel like it. Not the first time I've said that I know but neither of us can get our heads around it, the seasons seem, well, upside down!

Ros has now been promoted at work and has a fixed term job until we  leave next September. So no worries on that score. We've just got to get through the year without falling out! It's all a bit too cosy, being in one another's company 24/7 ;-)

Here are some photo's from our travels over Easter:
