Yesterday, Sunday, was a busy day for us and our new home. Georgie’s name day is tomorrow so it was the perfect excuse to invite friends and family over for a feast! The little get-together was also a good excuse for me to ‘fix up’ a couple of rooms and finally frame some posters. The Ali and Inglorious Basterds posters are Mike’s productions. Thanks mate!
Before we tucked into a healthy lunch including a giant octopus, yummy prawns and various dips and breads, Green Monday and the Carnival was a great excuse to paint our faces and play games. It was the kind of day ideal for flying a kite and finally taking pleasure in all the hard work that has gone into making this place a home. It’s been just over a week since we moved in and although living out of boxes and a fussy toddler who wants to play around an empty swimming pool can make for one big headache, having an awesome family right next door makes it a lot easier.
On Saturday, March 9, our families gathered to help us move into our new home. A quick pot roast was put in the oven, a bouncy castle was set up for the kids and everyone was assigned various little jobs. I will admit that it doesn’t quite feel like home yet but then again 8 years in the flat is hard to override in just a few days. Georgie however is enjoying the whole experience immensely. He gets to see his cousins everyday, ride his bicycle to his grandparents in the morning and gather eggs from pappou’s little farm. There’s still quite alot of organising and sorting to do but we are looking forward to this adventure.
