We've been in our temporary home for a week now - the City Beach house is empty (and very very clean thanks to Simon's hard work), our storage shed is full, and we're living out of our Canada suitcases in a furnished house in Mosman Park. We celebrated our last night with the keys of the City Beach house on Thursday with fish and chips at Floreat Beach (very cold - not a soul around), and our 10th wedding anniversary last night at an Italian restaurant (Maretti)around the corner. Harrison got a guernsey to this dinner and the chef was really good with his gluten free requirements. They make their own desserts there - and Harrison has decided that creme brulee is his favourite dessert of all time (though he did manage to con Simon into also sharing the chocolate mousse with him).
Hopefully we get a few days R&R after the frantic pace of the packing etc over the last couple of weeks. We managed to combine having a baby with moving to Canada, and selling our Brisbane house (not yet unconditional, but the contract has been signed). One positive is that the house Simon wanted to buy over here is off the market, so we can't add buying a house to the list of things we have on our plate!
Looks like the new Science Library will be handed over on or around the day I give birth... If I'm not otherwise engaged I'll drop in late this week to have a last glance. Sounds like the plans for the Charles Darwin exhibition in the foyer of the new library when it opens are going amazingly well - wish I was going to be here in July to see it.
