Notice of Down time

[Ashcloud]

We moved on Wednesday night after a series of disasters and now have half of our furniture and am hoping to get the other half in a week (praying more like).

We were ready to move and super organised on Wednesday morning - waiting for our mover who was supposed to arrive at 2 in the afternoon, he arrived at 7 that evening and promptly ran out of fuel. After a frantic run around a town that completly closes at 5 we managed to get 10L and at 8 I left with the kids and wife in the old car with all our belongings standing outside. Anyway, drove through the night (saw 3 huge kudu - African antelope, very large - 1 in the road, scary) and arrived at the new place at 4 in the morning only to promptly set off the alarm - so we ended up trying to sleep in the car until 8 when the rental agent could let us in...

The adventure continues...

I am online but with a cellphone modem until my telephone line gets installed (could take 21 working days) - so I am going to be super conservative with bandwidth and won't be online the whole time but will be connecting as needed to check email and send.

Thanks to all for the messages of support.

Look forward to getting back onto the field of battle.
