A Car, a Teething Baby, Shoes and a New Garden

It feels like a lifetime ago since I did my last post. Since my last post, a few things have happened that I'll tell you about.

I got a new (to me) car. She's lovely and her name is Tina. No more hire cars for us! Yippee. Over the past 18 months, we spent 44,000 dirhams ($13,000AUD) on my hire car and travelled 41,000 kilometers in it. So now I have Tina.


We did a 'car swapsy' with our old friends over here who are moving back to Australia. They are taking over ownership of our Subaru and we've taken over ownership of their car. No cash has exchanged hands and both cars are worth the same amount. You wouldn't read about it. (Well, maybe you might because you just did.)

My baby turned 8 months old last month. MissL has (just about) 5 teeth, has a head of thick blond hair and grows cuter by the day.


I've discovered navy blue really is her colour. Brings out the blue in her eyes.


MissM has just over 5 weeks of KG2 left for the school year. After that she's on 12 weeks summer holidays. She's trying to do her best for the remainder of the year, as she's working towards a pair of these...


After much nagging (from me), we finally got a back garden at the end of last week. It was done for under a third of our original quote we got from a landscaper. We are very, very happy with the job done and makes our place feel a little more homely.


What's been happening in your corner of the world then?
