Sounds pretty fabulous all round! Here's to the next 2 years and beyond!
ReplyDeletealles Gute zum Geburtstag Susan und David! (did you I get that right?) Just one more year and you'll be here forever, forever forever....if you believe conventional wisdom!
ReplyDeleteDanke Steve! Yes, I heard they lock the gates and don't let you out after three years... ever seen that film 'Welcome to Woop Woop'?
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you finally made the shift in 2010. It clearly suits you guys to perfection!
ReplyDeleteAwesome move for both of you. Particularly when it such a gorgeous place to visit for freeloaders from Sydney like me!! I may not see you as often but technology is good for keeping up our friendship. Congrats on 2 years!! Cheryl
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous adventure! Good on you both-Sydney's loss is definitely Tasmania's gain.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Susan. Sad about the cat but after a day of walking around the city I would say the loss of walking in heels is a blessing. The gains all sound very good for the soul. Love reading about your adventures & can't wait to swap my own sdan for a ute. Tracee x
ReplyDeleteWow, seems like yesterday that I saw your first post and talked over you trialing a new mobile or somesuch. Glad it has been a success for you and thanks for your Tassie view of life. And you co-operation in c-space

Losing the cat is a good thing....as long as it's dead and not gone feral, preying on wildlife. Damn cats have no place in this country and dogs aren't much better.
