Tuesday 8th March marked our one year milestone since having left Australia!
The increasing length of the days became more obvious to us this week. Leaving work at 6pm, Brendan noticed that it was still light compared to a few weeks ago when it would be pitch black.
Coming into spring, the lifeless grey vegetation has started blossoming into life once again. Daffodils abound, sprouting from the vast green lawns of the parks and gardens around London.
On Thursday, Roslyn had an Easter Egg Decorating Eggstravaganza at work.
Meanwhile, at home it seemed timely for a "Spring clean". We put a number of items for sale, and experienced the frustrating requests and general stupidity of some Gumtree buyers. For an air mattress, we had a girl message asking whether it was self inflating and when she could collect it. After our reply with a pickup time and explaining that she would need a pump (or big lungs), we heard nothing more. Next day, same girl messages us asking if the mattress was self inflating and when she could collect it. Provided with the same information as the evening prior, she then decided she didn't want it!
Highlights for the week:
- 8th March - one year anniversary since having departed Australia
- Longer days
- Visible signs of spring 🌷
- Roslyn made Easter eggs
- Preparation for our trip to Oslo
