Pre Christmas post

Hello all, I do realise we haven't blogged for you in a very long time but we have been busy doing nothing particularly interesting. It's been beautiful weather out here on the run up till Christmas hitting a high of 44 degrees so far! (Just what you all want to hear out there!) That's the same temp as when we were in Vegas! For here that's a bit hotter than normal so we have turned into water babies and spent a lot of time in the pool. The heat got the better of Laura earlier in the week and today it's caught up with Myles who is sleeping off a headache. Other than that we have been Christmas shopping and helping prepare with Deb and Ian. Myles has had an important job working with Ian to get Debs bore working before Christmas! Today we can safely say it is working which is fantastic! It means they can water their garden using underground spring water even when drought restrictions come in, which they will soon we are told. So this means all our hard gardening won't go to waste! We have been starting to plan where we are going to go after we leave here in the new year which feels a bit daunting again. We will have to see where we end up next! 

Laura has also finished painting the utility room to a lovely green colour (it's not easy being green) 

For those who didn't see on Facebook, we got an early Christmas present from Deb and Ian which was this beautiful Christmas tree decoration which was engraved for us. It's such a lovely memento we can take home with us at the end of our trip! 

So with that your pretty up to date with our world. It's still very difficult getting to grips with having our first hot Christmas and our first away from home. Luckily we are with people who feel like extended family now and that will be lovely or make us miss home more were not sure which yet!

So if we don't blog before we love and miss you all and hope you have a lovely Christmas we will be thinking of you all!
