The last few weeks have been chaotic. Moving out of one house sit, a few days at my daughter's place, and then off to Melbourne and then Adelaide, then back to Brisbane, a few more days at my daughter's, and yesterday moved into the house sit.
The owner of the house went off on her 8 week holiday this morning, so I am still settling in. I feel extremely comfortable here - the house is big, great outdoor eating area, large yard, and a pool. But there is a really good feel about it all. I feel I have much more freedom here, though it will be a few days before I really settle in.
I have a meeting tonight, and tomorrow I am back to my volunteer post in the Information Centre at Wynnum, and then a procession on Friday for the local footy team who won the premiership.
I think by Monday I will feel really relaxed and able to write more freely, but I want to get really settled and make plans for the next 8 weeks.
This house sit is at Birkdale - some 10 or so kms from Wynnum, and I am mostly familiar with the area, but I will explore around here. It is not far from the sea, but in a leafy suburb where the council is wanting to remove the large trees that were planted quite a few years ago, but are now causing problems as they are through the power lines, and lifting the pavement.
All is well at the moment. I am happy here. And Allie the dog is happy with me.
