Well, we've started moving. Last night we took two loads of things across to the new place. We're moving all the non-essential stuff first, then we're moving the kitchen stuff, and then finally, on Saturday, we're gonna move the beds, the couch, the washing machine and the fridge.Read more »

Well, as you can see by the title of my post, Raoul has talked me into writing another blog. I really don't think I'll ever get into the habit of this. I'm simply not someone who journals. Ah well. I suppose the occasional blog will have to do. Read more »

Yes... we have to move... again...

I was really hoping to stay here in Muizenberg for more than just about 18 months. We really enjoy living here, and it's affordable. Unfortunately, we can't do that much longer.

The person who owns the town house we're in is our landlord's son, who has been in the UK for a few years, but now wants to return to South Africa. Unfortunately for us, that means that he wants his house back, and we have to move out. It's a pain, but I understand why, and I'm not complaining.Read more »

I've started going through my room; getting rid of things, deciding what I want to take with me, etc. It's a long process and it'll take a while before I'm even close to actualy being packed, but that's ok. I've already gotten rid of 10 trashbags full of clothes, linens, old stuffed toys, etc. Abby has made sure that quite a bit of it will be staying in the house though. It will be a little odd to see her wearing my old clothes before I'm gone, but hey- at least they're out of my closet!Read more »
