Monday Morning Reflections

Monday morning, Derek & I went off to the grocery shop for a few things early this morning before Derek had to go off to work so that I could have a bit of breakfast & buy a couple of things. I'm sitting on the computer for the time being, watching out the window looking at Derek's chooks, which I was expecting to be these small cute things, but these girls are actually quite big! There are birds flying around, making lots of noise, & it's been raining off & on, it's pretty humid, but there's a bit of a cool breeze too.

At some point, I'll be getting together with Louise, Derek's friend, I'm sure she'll be glad to take me around to buy a few articles of clothing to change into, that'll feel really good! Not much else to do yet, I may take a nap at some point because I'm still acclimating a bit.

A few interesting tidbits, did you know that what we call the pound key (#) at home on a phone is called a hash key here? There are a quite a few "roundabouts" here in Newcastle, what we call traffic circles at home. As I looked out the window of the room I'm sleeping in, formerly their lounge room, which is in the front of the house, I noticed one of those big fat spiders just hanging out there. Thankfully there is a screen in the window so I'm safe at the moment, hahah. We're just keeping a respectful distance, that spider & me. Derek says it's not one of the poisonous ones at least. Whew.

No pictures yet, but stay tuned, hopefully I'll get out sometime soon & start snapping away.
