How much can happen in 3 weeks?

The 3rd of July saw the arrival of David Stephen Telfer. (Our first Grandchild). 8 lb 1 oz & 49 cm (for all of those mothers out there).
We have been able to spend lots of time with him, and Jo & Sim since then (sort of storing it up while we can).

We have packed up our house, loaned bits and pieces far and wide, and sent a stack of stuff into storage. The house has been handed over to tenants and we have been living with our friend Trish (who lives next door).

When we return, Trish will have moved, there will be a new house across the road in what used to be the best kept sheep paddock in the Adelaide Hills and there will probably be new people living in the house diagonally opposite us!

This time tomorrow, we will be 2 hours out of Singapore, en-route to Dhaka, Bangladesh for our 6 month sojourn with Symbiosis.

We had an enjoyable time with a group of friends this morning, who sent us off with their kind thoughts and support. The whole process of preparing for this trip would have been worthwhile for it own sake.

My next blog will probably be from Bangladesh (unless I can quickly add something from Singapore).

In the meantime,
Take care, learn lots, do lots & be lots.
Steve


Tomorrow sees us on the big silver bird to Bangladesh
