G goes back to work today so I'm facing 'reality' in some ways with trying to find lots to do to fill up the days. So far not bad as I've got tons of things lined up to see people, some Brits, during the week plus I have to go house hunting in the minutes where I'm not doing that! Went out for a BBQ at one of G's colleagues places yesterday afternoon which was really nice, great to socialise with some people who are not G lol... and they were very friendly and welcoming. So far it seems that people are very aware of your situation here, in terms of understanding you're far from home, and making lots of efforts to get to know us and invite us places, which is great! Just what we need really.
It's bloody hot in this temp house, no air conditioning and hot temperatures outside. Yesterday we went to see a few and liked a couple - going to look at a few more this week, I want to buy and get settled as soon as possible. I have to drive G into work today because we've only got 1 car between us, then no doubt will get horribly lost on the way home and not make it back!
Yesterday we found a drive thru Starbucks - result!
