So, one of the reasons we came here was the weather.
Dont believe it….
There is currently a severe weather warning for Perth. Thunder, gales, HAILSTONES!
Thats right …. HAILSTONES! Balls of ice falling from the sky. Not an unusual occurence for Airdrie, but we were led to believe that Australia was warm and sunny.
Arse!
The houses have no insulation (so much so they sell a tool that helps with laying wires by shining a laser inside the wall so you can see it from the roof space down the inside of the wall coz they havent anything in the way) The bathroom windows have an open bit about 2 inches thats only got a fly screen on it, so just now when its cold wet and windy, its helluva drafty, so we have taped up the one in the en suite.
We got a load of stuff for the garden at the weekend, a lemon, orange and keffir lime tree. Peppers, tomatos, strawbs and so on. Hoping it all survives …..
Anyways. Enough of my stream of conciousness ranting.
I am fighting off a flu, but still went into work today – you only get 2 weeks of sick pay here, so I figured I would prefer to save the sickpay in case I get really sick. Blearg.
So, our big news was *supposed* to be that the ship with all our stuff had arrived in the port of Freemantle, just a couple of miles south of Perth. We had been tracking it across the world, and it was scheduled to arrive yesterday. Yesterday morning we checked the tracking and it was past Perth. Way past Perth. Past Perth enough that there was *no way* it had been in, and back out again that fast. One phone call to the shipping company later, we find out that the ship it was supposed to be on from Kelang in Malaysia had left without our stuff. And without the stuff of a load of other people, in fact, it had decided to leave everything for Perth in Kelang, so they didnt have to stop there.
So, our stuff is stuck in Malaysia. Hey, at least it isnt getting tossed around in the extreme weather…
But most importantly, MY WII IS STUCK IN MALAYSIA!
I WANT MY WII!

Hi
I am impressed I managed to get logged in yet again.
Hope the weather has improved and you have got word of when your stuff and WII will arive we are getting some sun at last and it looks like it is going to be a good weekend.
Went to see Mamma Mia at the cinema last night with Aunty Betty and we both enjoyed it so I really must be getting old. It was corny singing was terrible dress sense was terrible that you just had to laugh, but it was funny and with Abba songs can’t go wrong.
Not much happening at the moment watching Adan tomorrow night . Elaine and B J are off to the IMax to see The Dark Knight not to keen on Batman movies but would go to see it just because it is in the IMax.
Hope to hear how you are getting on soon nothing in you blog for a week.
Love Mum
