Perhaps...

Perhaps I gave the wrong impression yesterday?

I am not unhappy with things. I am facing personal challenges, and this is a good thing.

The temporary glitches that have come with moving house are just teething problems. I managed to get the phone hooked up yesterday, and it's all working fine now.

Ade, my co-worker, who will be sharing the apartment during the week, has moved in, and he is loving it there too.

I think I've identified my strange ducks, and they're possibly "ruddy ducks".

This morning (at about 7am) I strolled up to the lake, and watched a heron and a few ducks. Really nice and relaxed.

I'm in a really positive frame of mind. The Guinness stash is gradually being consumed, and I am managing to utilise my mobile phone (in the correct manner) as an organiser, to create shopping lists, and generally take control of my own life.

The new fox is finally starting to emerge.

My only gripe thus far, is that the kitchen is the coldest place on earth!! Not sure if I mentioned this before, but there's no heating in there, and the river runs directly beneath. It's a shame, because I love cooking, and in all honesty, a cold kitchen in winter, is not a good kitchen, nor one where I wish to be for any longer than is totally necessary.

I will be extremely happy when I've got broadband installed. Four days and counting!!

I miss you all!!
