blogging mobile

Just trying out my new toy... The iphone that J1 got me for my birthday last weekend. It's pretty fantastic, although I cant type fast enough for my own liking, especially long paragraphs of text. Nor can i put photos up on blogger like this. But at least we know it's working. Ive been having lots of fun with it, so much so that there's a certain husband around here wishing he never got the bright idea to give this to me!

some photos of the new digs

We are very pleased to FINALLY be in the new house, and have ALMOST settled in. The first week was a bit chaotic, as there was a birthday (me) and an overseas visitor (Beth) and as we had only been in the new place a day or two, things were a bit all over the place.
However, Beth left on Monday, and although we've been away for work on tues, weds, and thurs, we will finally have our first weekend to "settle", upon us.
Just in time to prepare for the next visitors... next week... the in-laws!
So excuse our tardiness in writing a whole lot here, now, but please enjoy the following photographic tour of our new abode!!

puppies having a sniff around, front door:

NB: the puppies finally got their first introduction to monkeys, this week. Reilly is very protective, and keeps them on the outside of the fence, as best she can (we've only seen her in action when there were 3 of them). Mainly by climbing up on top of the biggest rock outcropping/boulder pile we have, and staring them down, on point, without moving a muscle. Billy, on the other hand, didn't seem to be very adventurous, and preferred the security of the house.
