'Ello from the Sticks Part 1 !!!
As the title suggests, I am in what I consider the "sticks'. Aka my parents house. Mum was unhappy at not having seen Lachlan much since he was born, and I suggested a visit. Me and the three kids have packed up half our house, crammed it into my mothers car with mere inches left for ourselves. And off we went.
An hour later, after a stop at the nearest McD's (20 minutes away) we arrived on my parents doorstep. Scoffing our food, we all settled in. My aunt and her youngest two daughters were here for a bit of a chat.
Afterwards I set up all our stuff. Lachie's portacot, put his swing back together, that sort of thing. Then of course, it was time to set up my laptop :) I've got a huge network cable covering half the length of the house, under the fridge, between sofa chairs, and cushions, under pillows and around a coffee table into the back of my laptop.

And now I've gotta get changed, and get a few things together so that we can go for a walk down to mum's shop. Back later!
