Good things come in small (and big) packages

Most of our shipping was delivered the other day, which was highly anticipated.

So we now have our big TV back! But no power cables or remotes...

And the espresso machine is here! But no portafilters... (that's the handle thingy you put the coffee in, if you had to ask). Drat!

We lost the cat scratching pole to quarantine. We had an option of paying $95 to have it destroyed, or $500 to have it cleaned. Somehow they didn't seem to mind that we had also brought back a litter tray, blankets, couches and clothing which were all covered in cat hair. Not to mention the cats themselves...

Meanwhile I have found myself a job (with Leica Biosystems as a product support specialist) and will be starting in a week. Since an income is now on the cards, I have been looking for a car to buy, so test driving lots of MX-5s - the practical family choice! (When I get one I'll write more about it in the new page in the page in the links section to the right.)

Jo is doing well - lots of resting and sleeping mostly. We met our obstetrician yesterday and had a quick ultrasound scan - the little blob is taking shape! stubby little limbs and a big head. And a heartbeat! wow, it's really an amazing thing to see. Will be getting more scans in a couple of weeks, so we might be able to scan something then.
