Happy Chinese New Year!

This is the year of the Dog. Both Paul and I are born in the year of the Dog! So this is our year finally. Without a doubt things are going to work out really well for us.

Long way, not just miles to go

Things are getting done really slowly but I never ever imagined that the Long Way Home would be such a long arduous hassle with paperwork. We have bought a house in Simon's Town but selling the house in the UK... and tell you what it's hell. Both of us are suffering sleep deprivation and anxiety that has resulted in bouts of strange uncontrollable reactions, appearing decidedly vacant in meetings and concentration deficits.

In short, we are suffering.

So are our work colleagues.

And to think we will have more rules and regulations and bureaucrats to face is just really a terrifying prospect.

On the upside, as there always is one, when the houses are sorted, bank loans figured, exchange rates calculate, fees transferred and lawyers paid... we will have a lovely home to go to and live happily ever after, after a wonderful long bike ride.

Christmas 2005 in Munich

Here are the highlights of my short break to Munich:

The Science Museum

Garden gnomes








Apologies for the short note. I do feel guilty for not writing and taking the time I should to update the blog.

Too much to do and too little time!

In the meantime… Happy New Year!
