So one month from now, on May 4th, we leave Perth for the UK.  One month!

We’ve been planning this move since September, so is feels great that we are getting close; but as you can imagine, this last month is going to be busy, and it will be sad to pick up stumps and leave here for at least a few years.

Fun stuff coming up this month includes packing our own container and sending it off into the giant box-moving machine called ‘international shipping’.  I’ll try and find some time to write about that process as we do it.  We’ll be back living out of suitcases again for between five to nine weeks while our stuff catches up to us.

Before the container gets packed, a lot of paperwork needs to be done.  A lot of sorting and  chucking out stuff.  A few more bits of furniture need selling, even after our “Classy Bargains Galore” garage sale last weekend.

And amongst all that, a trip down south for a few days to catch up with mates before we head off.  My normal work continues in the interim, and I’m turning 42 next weekend.

So, this is a time to sort stuff out and prepare to leave.  I’m getting excited now there’s onluy a month to go…
