Good to hear good news Ani. Long may it continue.

Your new house sounds like a hoot!

Speaking of hoots, I've been reading with great interest your descriptions of the Oz wildlife. At our caravan we don't have anything so exotic as kangaroos (they would look very exotic indeed in Pembrokeshire). But we do have owls (and hence the hoot connection!). Actually there is usually only one owl so we hear the "too-wit" but not the "too-woo". It was only recently that I discovered that "too-wit-too-woo" is a blether between two owls.

I was sitting outside the caravan one evening earlier this year, drinking a cheeky wee real ale and looking up at the gloriously clear and star-filled sky. I glanced down and noticed a weasel coming up the path towards me. So thin, so sleek, with eyes like black pearls (the weasel, not me). I remembered the story I heard in my primary school playground about a weasel's tendency to run up your shorts and bite your scrotum so hard that you had to kill the bugger to get it off. That's why I burst into song with vigorous foot-tapping. It worked. Not even a ball-hungry weasel can tolerate my singing. It turned and ran. I treated myself to another real ale, and carried on singing.
