Back on Track - settling in - sort of anyway!

Have now gotten over the worst of my bronchitis - still have coughing fits now and then. Have started attackimg some boxes - putting books back on shelves.

Set up one fishtank but still have another one - couldn't find the filter wool! Had to wait until I could get to the pet shop to buy some more even though I know I have some - somewhere!!!!

Still can't put together our dining table - can't find the screws! Can't find our toolbox either for that matter! Went and bought another one (with tools included).

Rodeo week here this week - the streets will be full of tourists and cowboys and wannabe cowboys. There will be a street parade this Friday but the photos won't work out as it will be held in the evening!! I might take the kids to the sideshow this year maybe - will see.

It still doesn't feel like my home - it still feels like a house. I am getting used to the house's little quirks and funny noises. I met the neighbours briefly. Still getting used to the new rubbish collection times.

Paid a guy to come out and show us how to properly look after our pool. Trees are losing their leaves and ending up in the pool - so we will have a buy a blanket or cover for it.

Got some interesting flowers appearing on some plants in the garden. Wouldn't have the foggiest what the plants are called. Does anyone know its name?

Cheers

So glad you are feeling better. Getting used to a new house is a challenge. I kept turning the wrong direction in the hall. Finally better too.
