Finding Good

^ Sandra Monat.

& I have a new address if you feel like writing a letter;

Any mail sent to my last addresses will still get to me via the wonders of mail redirection.

I'm going to spend the next few days organising, arranging furniture and decorating. I won't have the internet at home for a full ten days! How will I cope?!

Ooh, new digs!

I hope you don't enjoy life sans internet too much. You may never want to come back.

PS A new comfy bra is always reason for celebration.

Also, Launceston sounds AMAZING.

So happy you are in your house and settling in! Couch sounds great - yay! I keep meaning to ask you - do you ever get anything dodgy in your mailbox since you have your address up here? I hope not, but wondered.
We've been having a few gorgeous spring days here, what about you? :)
