finally, we're out of the old place and (nearly) settled at my parent's house. it's a little squeezy, but not in a bad way - cozy would be a better word. it's nice to be back in their company again after such a long time, and now that we're not going to spend every weekend driving all the way back to kensington to move things out of the house i'll actually be able to spend a little time with them. not that we're here for too much longer - next week we're at the ubud writers festival, which i am very much looking forward to - then two weeks after that we're away on our trip. i can't believe time has flown by so quickly... i'm still a little freaked out by the whole idea of travelling for three months, but looking forward to it, too. mark and i will be keeping you updated on our travels on this blog, so stay tuned.
