It's part of a musical cruise down the East Coast from Sydney to Hobart which stops off a several places on the way. There seems to be a concert at most of the stops, usually also including some sight-seeing.<br /><br />So, tho' I'm not likely to see you & yours, I'll have a good image of where you'll be when you write about it. I hope you get a warm welcome & that settling in & continuing on all work well.<br /><br />Oz has fallen away from, rather than continued, the progress we were making towards combining the best of both worlds & moving on to positive reactions to the challenges of the 21st century. Getting back on track is a least as hard as walking a muddy track uphill against the wind, since so many with power & influence seem to prefer a mix of 1848 & 1984.Mezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697501074083183060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-10226080632464095172009-11-21T01:37:43.685+11:002009-11-21T01:37:43.685+11:00<hugs> It will pass quickly enough, especia...<i><hugs></i> It will pass quickly enough, especially with all the stuff you'll have to do. <br /><br />And it has the advantage that you should actually be settled in a more or less permanent home by then, so you won't have to uproot them again after you get them back.Reverance Pavanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217657347160811310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-5328679836235663532009-11-21T00:36:20.684+11:002009-11-21T00:36:20.684+11:00About 5 months :-(.About 5 months :-(.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315551718688781746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-445461925252248972009-11-20T21:52:21.478+11:002009-11-20T21:52:21.478+11:00...I'll post some to Adelaide if you like...
...<i>...I'll post some to Adelaide if you like...</i><br /><br />Hah! I'm not <i>that</i> gullible! Snow! Imagine anyone believing that water could actually freeze naturally! And fall from the sky in flakes! Are you sure it wasn't just really really small hailstones? I wasn't born yesterday young man!<br /><br /><i><grin></i><br /><br />[At the moment we do have water falling from the sky, so life is slightly better. But having mid-Summer temperatures in late Spring has definitely shocked a few people. (Although not enough to do much about undergrowth. It's going to be a very interesting Summer, bushfire wise. Again.)]<br /><br />As to security, panic and fear can provoke the strangest and most nonsensical reactions. Very self-defeating. Much better to remove the disinction of "not-us." <br /><br />How long do you have to prepare your new home for the furkids?Reverance Pavanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217657347160811310noreply@blogger.com
