Stuff

The weather has NOT been helpful so our driveway and fences are still not in. The landscapers haven't been idle, though.

Before ...

After ...

There will be ferns and the like in the beds and if I can find them some staghorn/elkhorn things on the fence. 

I woke up this morning in a deep funk. I felt as if I was at the bottom of a well looking up at the sky and sunshine and just had no desire to get out. I couldn't decide what to have for breakfast (crumpets or toast so I had meusli). 

The internet at the rental ended at midnight and we planned to hotspot our phones except the phone plan we are on (Vodaphone) sucks even though we have a direct line of sight to a tower. Himself had gone up to the house to water the grass seed and I thought "Fuck it. I need to be out of here".

So here were are. Here, not there!

We made sure the animals had all they need including the cushions from the couch we shared.

The dogs were fed ... including the feline dog.

It took them all a while to get settled. There was a lot of exploring and meowing and panting (from Murphy - probably not the best week to reduce his anxiety meds) but as I write all seems ok. In fact I had to stop there to give Max a stroke and a smooch which is a first!

Pizza for dinner (too much effort to cook) and then a settle in in front of the telly.

Tonight we will sleep in our new bed with new linen.

It feels like it's taken forever but here we are. 

Finally.

It already feels like home and we all seem a lot calmer.
