Hello chickens!
Humblest apologies for my extended absence ...
So, in the past few weeks I have moved states, repacked most of my belongings more appropriately for long term storage, and painted my bedroom a bright new white... oh, and started my new job! Busy Em ...
Sadly, this repacking meant making a very hard decision and saying goodbye to my beloved magazines, which have traversed the country with me over the years, and which I have lovingly nurtured and archived for so long... while I wouldn't say I am a hoarder in the least, I can be quite ruthless with the bi-annual chuck out in fact, I have always looked at magazines as an investment, much to my Mothers dismay ... so, 5 years worth of British Homes and Gardens, Living Etc, Country Home, and House and Leisure South Africa have been sifted through, the good shoots ripped out, and are sitting in the boot of my car to go to a better home...
Martha Stewart is staying with Mum (she likes them now!), and Domino and Blueprint have been bequeathed to the lovely
Kim ...
It was overwhelmingly and surprisingly sad sitting down and ripping my babies up ... I am sure you agree that the good mags are NEVER to be tarnished, but finally, in the interest of less storage and living lighter in general, I succumbed. I tell you chickens, I nearly cried!
Strangely, on the other side of the massacre, I feel quite relaxed about this previously unthinkable deed. Of course the decision was a little easier since the shots are almost all on the internet now!
It seems moving to India is racing forward at an unstoppable pace.
I was under the impression that I had about 4 months to learn the science and get all the protocols written here in Adelaide... hmmm, not so! It is now apparent that I am leaving in 4 weeks as the monsoon, and therefore the cholera season is coming up sooner than thought!
So much to do, so little time ...vaccinations, visas and everything else that comes with a zany and possibly ridiculous move to the third world ... but I promise to start some blogging more regularly ... thanks for sticking with me lovely ones xxx
(Calcutta bookshop seemed an appropriate shot!)
