life goes on

its been a while again. while we havent been too busy, life has been "solid". everyone is working, some are travelling, we are still organising ourselves to go to the UK and the countdown clock is running faster by the day. it is now only 11 weeks till we go (unless i can bring my flight forward - i am still trying to get in touch with the company i brought the ticket through).

Sue is heading off to the UK this week for work and to spend 3 days looking around for areas for us to live in.

at this time we still really have nothing sorted:

- Ash and i are still waiting to get our British Passports
- I am still trying to change my flight
- Sue and Georgia still dont have flights booked or visas sorted
- we have no idea where to live in the UK and it is doing our head in looking at properties on the web
- georgia needs to get a new Aust Passport
- we still need to sort out shipping of the things we need to the UK and to relocate/store anything we want to leave behind
- Sue needs to go to UK for 10 days, to Melbourne for a week
- jeff still needs to spend a weekend in Melbourne while Sue is there
- ash still needs to go to Melbourne (as does Georgia apparently)

other that there is not really much to do, besides organising a range of going away events

so please forgive me if i dont spend too much time here over the next few weeks/months

time goes by

i wrote the following a couple of months ago when my life was on the cusp of change;
_________________________________________

i now live with a sense that the days will look after themselves without too much interference from me and we will be OK or better (in a relative sense)
___________________________________________

quite frankly i am not sure that i havent interfered too much but life has certainly changed and it has more change to go. one can only tell if my musing at the time will become reality for all concerned.

whatever happens i think we will all be OK or better (in a relative sense) but like any journey in life - if you dont like the ride - you might simply have to choose to get off the "train".
