I have been told that the only thing that stays the same is change, and recent events are backing that up.
As I sit in my new spacious family room, tapping away on my flash new laptop, I'm keeping an eye on the cricket score from the West Indies via wireless broadband.
Yesterday I bade farewell to my psychologist boss, who is off to work in the transport industry.
last night I listened to the further demise of the West Coast Eagles (my second football side)
oh, and today foxtel will be connected, or at least it had better! yippee!!!
but right now it's time for golf. That short 12 minute trip gives me a few extra minutes to blog and surf.
even David Bowie is changing - he is now a character on SpongeBob SquarePants (or so his own blog tells me). No photos of Ziggy Stardust, but a lovely picture of SpongeBob!

all the key numbers
It is 18 days since I took possession of my new home (also known in this street as 'Mary's house')
15 days ago I moved in!
I have unpacked all boxes, except for 14 boxes of books
In 28 days I settle on my old unit (that's also the number of days I have to clean it)
1959 is the year that the neighbour who greeted me on my arrival moved into this street
My colleague lives 3 doors away, and we have only had the $10 Wednesday parma at the local pub once (so far)
Golf is a 12 minute drive away at 6.40am on a Saturday morning
It took me 16 minutes to walk to Punt Rd (and 2,569 steps), and I was in my cushioned seat at 'the G' 25 minutes after leaving my front door.
My internet connection took 14 days (and help from Katrina at Bigpond)
...and I still have to wait 8 more days for my Foxtel connection!
On my first Friday night here, it took me 8 minutes to 'jiggle' the lock at my back door - not a good sign
It took me 2 more days to work out the secret jiggle ... but I still want to change the locks
I picked 23 lemons from the 2 trees in my back yard last Saturday (and there are more to pick tomorrow)
I still have a lo-o-o-o-ng list of things to do, but I have plenty of time ... and now I have my internet to help with the relocation process. Welcome to number 21, it's great!
