So I got the keys for the new house last Wednesday and we have been somewhat settled in since Monday when the large furniture was moved in. We couldn't contain ourselves once we got the keys we took out the ol' blow up beds and camped :-)

The to do list is mounting up already with the light globes all needing to be changed to energy efficient light globes and all the washers also needing to be changed. The front of the house has a large pergola and it is certainly helping with the cooling of the house as the afternoon sun sets on the front (the orientation of the house is something that I will just have to live with).

I can't wait to start getting into the garden and have started planning the veggie patch. My son and I have moved the cupboards into the tool shed and I will get one maybe two mushroom farms started and then purchase the others pay by pay. By spacing them out it may help with continual supply and I am not 100% sure if they will cope in the South Australian summer. I have started doing a little research on mushroom kits and already surprised with the range you can purchase.

Well this is just a short post today as I must get back to the grindstone. I will take some photos in the next couple of days and post them up.
