Amylou joins the Cottage Crew (honestly!)

So I've moved in to the Cottage! (Did I officially say that before?) Even though the staff who work in the office of the church who own the cottage seem to be totally unequppied to understand my arrival, as my mail keeps getting 'Not At This Address' written on it in very flowery handwriting and being sent back.

Shelley and I moved in to the big room at the front of the house. It was a big move as we both have a lot of junka nd not enough storage space. We had mess EVERYWHERE. And so how did we spend our time? Well, it's a theory known as 'displacement cleaning' where you clean every single other space you can, and totally avoid the immediate mess you need to actually clean. Suffice it to say that we a) discovered the the front door step is real marble b) found that the fireplace is full of real coal and c) now have sparkling clean windows!





The Cottage Crew is cool, and growing cooler by the minute. Lovely Kiwi Lynne has now moved back to Kiwiland. We took her out for her birthday the week before she left. We went for Indian, which I don't usually like, but it was actually great. We had a great time!

Lynne made a (rather offhand) announcement that she was pregnant! How exciting! So we had a bit of a celebration!

Cheers!
