It's a bizarre feeling, moving into a house where you would come and visit for a few hours and then leave. Now you come here everyday and there is no-one home.
About 2 months ago my brother asked if i was stuck in my lease or i could get out of it? At the time i didnt know much about why but i said yes.
He then told me that he was applying for a job in Kyrgyzstan, yep that's right Kyrgyzstan. I knew it was somewhere in the world but never heard of it before so it was basically the same as "Pin the tail on the donkey" using a world map.
After checking out some information on Wikipedia, i quickly learnt why...
It's not due to the wonderful temperature range of -26degC during winter or the 40degC high during summer, it's infact to do with one of their traditions Bride Kidnapping.
Anyway all the best to the entire family who have now moved into their apartment whilst they find a house. The kids are excited, Paul's changing things at work already and Ellen has caught man-flu.
The odd feeling in this story is that i'm so used to venturing to Oxley to visit brother, sister in-law, niece and nephews. The house is always noisy and there is always something being cooked or ready to eat.
What a change!!!!
Now its quiet and nothing in the fridge or pantry.
I took the puppy to West End for a coffee yesterday (she didnt want one) and she was more excited by the kids walking by than other dogs...poor thing knows something is up as well.
Oh well it has only been a week and now with a long weekend i've spent some QT with her and visitors coming tomorrow. Next weekend will bring some more people and kids, hopefully she wont get too excited and knock them over.
