It's Arrived!

According to the Royal Mail, my application has been signed for at Australia House. Even now, someone has carefully placed it in a huge in tray along with several thousand others.

SOLD!!

Much to our utter amazement, we accepted an offer on our house on Thursday! It took a couple of days for it to set in, and we do keep expecting the other shoe to drop at any moment, but so far things look good. If this plays out as we hope, it means we could be leaving the UK in June, much quicker than anticipated! So now the hard work begins, of sorting everything out; what to ship, what to sell and what to chuck. All this and I'm off to Oz in 11 days time. What a whirlwind this month has been so far!

The Waiting Game

Well, it's been a quiet week on the migration front, with no new directives from AHC on what more they require of me. I suppose this is how it will be over the next few weeks, or even months, as they go over my application with a fine toothed comb. In some ways I feel strangely detached from it; after all, I can't influence or change anything and mentally pacing, awaiting news, in not going to do me any favours. I shall just sit, and wait. There are plenty of things to keep my mind occupied, not least of which is work, which is busy as always, and naming random people on the train, of course. The BBC Proms start tomorrow and next week I am off to a few concerts, so I'm looking forward to that. It's something I do every year and have done for the last 22, and is perhaps one of the few things I will miss about living in the UK. And yes, I know you can listen online, but nothing beats actually being there.

Back from Hols!

I have returned from my holiday in the Lake District, and very nice it was too; some fantastic scenery and lovely weather for the most part! The Calling did indeed kick in, as the apartment we were staying in was lovely, but as expected, by the end of the week I was ready to go home again; I am nothing if not predictable. It looks like house prices are starting to rise again, so am cautiously optimistic that when we come to sell the house we might actually get more than we paid for it. Now I just need to pray that the Aussie Dollar to Sterling exchange rate gets out of the gutter in time for us to actually make the most of what little money we'll get!
