PreStart (a few days late)

Have you ever watched Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory? (Early version with Gene Wilder).Well if you have ( and surely you can’t not have..)you may remember some scenes in the film of Grandpa Joe and all the other Grandmas and the other Grandpa tucked up in bed together. Well that was us at the end of the week. Sick as sick could be. Not good. But we’re on the mend and not a minute too soon as I leave for Perth tomorrow and the PreStart meeting.

This is quite an important meet…for us anyway seeing as we can’t just pop in and organise another. The meeting is to discuss the plan and any last minute changes. In other words, if we decide that we want to move a window or change a wall, it’s a pretty good time to say so.

It will be a manic week. New Caledonian resident let loose in Perth for a week without her kids. And oh so many things on the shopping list….

So au revoir from Noumea. And here’s to a week of fabulous Australian tucker…starting with the Maya Masala (eat your heart out Kim), followed by The Wild Fig……..then the……..rounded off with a ………from the …………Too exciting for words.
