New House

We are now in our new house in Parkdale and have finally unpacked all the boxes. It was a bit of a manic weekend, what with the move, Jack's 18th Birthday and me starting my Personal Trainer course. I had spent the week packing all the boxes and having got the keys on Thursday afternoon, had shifted a lot already. But we had a man with a van (well, 2 men) coming at 12 to help with the heavy stuff like the sofas, washing machine, beds etc. But at 11.20am I got a text to say they couldn't come because of a death in the family! Luckily, Chris managed to find another company who arrived 2 hours later and it was action stations! In the evening, we had a lovely meal at Longrain with some of Jacks friends - the food was Asian fusion and was delicious.

Sam  had a weeks trip to Canberra 2 weeks ago with school and last week had work experience , helping at an after school club called Kelly Sports with Primary aged children. So he was able to come with me to Ikea to buy and put together some wardrobes, draws, bookcase etc on Wednesday. He has officially started his new job at Bunnings with the new store opening tomorrow.

I am enjoying my course though today the guy taking it spoke really quickly and I found it difficult to understand what he was saying! I am able to get the same train as Jack and Sam, though we all sit in different sections of the train depending on where we need to get off :)

Will put some fotos on Flickr soon of the new house...

Half Marathon number 2!

We did it!!! And I beat last years time by 1 minute :)

On the Move...

We have found a new house !!! It's in the next suburb and the address is 50, Rennison St, Parkdale, so you can check it out on google. It's a great location - 10 minutes walk to the station and 5 minutes to the beach and a few minutes from Mordi in the car. Jack and Sam aren't too pleased because they wanted to be nearer to their friends in Brighton, but the rest of us are. It's only 3 beds so we are going to make the study into a bedroom for Will. We get the keys on Friday 20th July and will move over the weekend, so it's all systems go!

The Boys are on school holidays at the mo but aren't doing too much apart from sleeping and playing on the x box! I have started my Personal Training course on line so have been busy doing that. On July 23rd I will start going into the city for 2 days a week to do the course there.

I am on countdown for the Melbourne Half Marathon on Sunday. My hamstring is still playing up so not sure how it will go and am having an easy week sports-wise in the lead up to the big race!

Watched the first set of the Murray/Federer final at Wimbledon on Sunday night with Sam but it didn't start till 11p.m. here so I was falling asleep by midnight! Glad I didn't stay up to watch the rest! Poor Andy - I'm sure one day he will manage it!


Jack's 18th birthday is looming (16th) and we are off to a very nice restaurant in the city called Longrain on Saturday 21st, so it's going to be a very busy weekend! I will post some photos on Flickr after the major event :)
