Making ourselves at home...

I caught this photo of Huge and his big BABY Taylor on the weekend before school started. This little guitar, Huge calls it "The Traveller" (or "Easy Rider," from the original term denoting a musician's guitar or horn on the road) has been brilliant!
Doesn't he look calm and peaceful? The guitar is good medicine for him! The hat is a nice Aussie touch, I think. It's really a part of surviving the forty degree summer here.

We're just finishing our third week at school and we're both a wee bit tired. Huge is loving his school...he has koalas right outside his classroom window sometimes. He's started lawn bowls on Thursday nights. He says it's just like curling except warmer....and no sweeping! Photos to come...

Besides the koalas, we've seen one gigantic spider(harmless we're told) and about a million ants. Tiny ones that crawl all over the kitchen in an enormous ant frenzy!!!!! Taking a page from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I've taken to spraying them with Windex! It's enormously satisfying to see them stop in their tracks...and everything is so clean and shiny!


So far, this is the only thing close to a kangaroo that we've spotted besides steaks at the market!
