Adventures in the Big City

Its hard to believe the last blog I wrote was on the 7th March. 

Now its the 6th May. And quite a few things have changed in our lives, so to keep it simple, was going to write a list...but, you know there are some times in your life when its better not to relive tricky times. Perhaps its best to concentrate on all the great stuff that is happening NOW.

My lovely husband has a great job and is enjoying it. We are housesitting for 6 weeks in the 'burbs of the capital city. The boys are lovely and amazingly resilient. Happiness for them is having their parents around everyday. They are embracing city life ( while Mum is still finding it a bit challenging at times). Yesterday we had the wonderful adventure of catching the bus into local shops. It takes 5 mins to drive, and 15 mins on the bus, so it was time well spent. Even waiting for the bus was an adventure - they learnt about bus stops by special signs, buying a ticket, pressing the bell to stop the bus. Mind boggling stuff. 

For the first few days Big Brother was puzzled by the red lights. 'What are we doing, Mummy?' he asked, EVERY time we stopped. 'Waiting for the lights'. ' Ahh'.
Now he says -' I want to stop at the Red Lights!' when we get a clear run.
